Here’s a fun fact for you – if you are a wedding photographer, chances are that you are currently doing more marketing than anyone else that you know (excluding your industry pals). Think about the people close to you, what do they do for a living? Within their role, could they update a webpage if…
First, let me say ‘SLAAAAAAAY!’ Jade, the bride here is a long-standing Farmer and one of my mentoring students. I feel like I had the inside track on her wedding planning and love that she booked fellow Farmer Sophie Alexandria as her photographer. I was watching for the sneak peeks, especially after Jade told me…
Dear Devlin. I want to change my editing style but how do I do this when currently booked couples booked me on my older style? Do I stick to old edit for them, throw caution to the wind and edit in new style or during sneak peeks offer both and let them pick which one…
We have had a wonderful few weeks of summer weather and that means lots of photos out in golden hour at weddings. This is the hour before the sun completely sets when the light takes on some enchanting qualities. It becomes softer and warmer in colour temperature plus shadows can be more dramatic. Most of…
Dear Devlin. WWYD? I’ve recently taken a booking for a date later this year at a venue that’s OK but not my ideal. It’s such a weird year though, I just wanted to fill the date. Now another couple has come forward for the exact date and their wedding is very much more up my…
How is 2023 treating you so far? Is it not quite the bumper year that you were hoping for? I’ve been speaking to quite a few photographers like Sarah who contacted me recently saying that she’s been in the industry for a decade and has never known a year like this one. She usually caps…
Dear Devlin. I’m creating an engagement shoot reel and I’m wondering whether to separate the opposite/same-sex images into two reels. I have this a lot in my business. Part of me questions whether to separately market for same-sex couples or whether this is conforming to a narrative of separating the majority/minority. I am gay myself…
Dear Devlin. Is it normal to sometimes turn up to a wedding and not feel inspired, like, at all? Like either I’m not on form, or the venue isn’t interesting, or the guests aren’t very expressive or dynamic, and just stand around chatting. Perhaps even the couple don’t seem that up for making something interesting?…
Like many creative careers, getting booked in our industry is based on your portfolio. This is the same if you have been shooting for a few months or a few decades. People investing in you, need to see up-to-date, relevant examples of your work. Not once have I been asked to show my qualifications in…
Dear Devlin. Hey!! So I have been running my business for nearly 9 years… I’ve had busier years (when I was quite a bit cheaper) and I’ve had quieter years. This is 100% something I want to pursue and now I am fully focused on photography. I have no excuses to not put my all…
