Show Notes
Don’t underestimate the power of creating and curating a styled photo shoot for your business marketing and social media. It gives your clients a frame of reference when they meet with you.
When working on destination weddings: Don’t undervalue the relationships with local vendors both for products and creating a culturally appropriate event.
Use Styling to capture memorable events or weddings for both your client and your own social media feed.
When creating a portfolio, make sure that it’s on point and clear so your clients can connect with you and understand the value in flying you and your business around the world for their event.
When you’re in a financial place it’s good to invest in branding for your business.
I love the idea of designing with the idea of creating happiness for your clients and their guests. Involving the senses, emotions, and culture of your environment will help design a more impactful moment or event.
