the business of wedding photography
Most photographers enter the market, thrive for a year or two because they are priced so low, but then ultimately fail because they never did the work to create a business plan that would carry them into years 4, 5, 6, and beyond. In the past 7 years, I’ve seen many wedding photographers enter the market and, just as quickly, fade away. Why? Because they don’t understand the business side of things.
If you want a business that will pay your bills, support you + your family, help you save for retirement, and allow you the freedom to enjoy the perks of working for yourself, you NEED to understand the business side of things. If you don’t know how to calculate your cost of goods, your cost of doing business, your expenses, your taxes... then you can’t price yourself for profit. And if you don’t price yourself for profit, you’ll be out of business quickly... like so many photographers before you. Wouldn't it be nice to lay the groundwork for a successful business from the very beginning?
