The wedding photographer
What sparked your interest in photography?"My brother built a darkroom in his closet when we were kids. I thought it was cool."
What is the biggest lesson you took away from your experience in photography school?
"Don’t be afraid to experiment; don’t be afraid to fail; and always be open to new things. "
Tell me about your company.
"I started it with my husband about a year and a half ago, not long after our own wedding."
How do you market yourself?
"Advertising has been a big part of my marketing this past year. I have built a good web site. I have printed ads in a few of the big wedding magazines, as well as web presence on their sites."
Your company specializes in wedding photography. What is it like to capture such special moments for others?
"Weddings are such an emotionally filled day, and photography to me is a very emotional process. Thank God for auto-focus because I still get a little teary during ceremonies. I tell my brides we are there to capture and not interfere with what is really happening. This style has allowed us to fulfill our creative impulses and please our clients."
Describe your typical day at work.
"I’m typically glued to my computer, mostly editing and working on the jobs we shot the past weekend. Only about 20% of my work is actually shooting, the rest is running the business."
What do you love the most about your job?
"I really like being my own boss."
