246: How Wedding Creatives Go From Overlooked to Fully Booked


Listen Later

The new year always gives us that fresh-start feeling. A little more clarity. A little more motivation. And a quiet nudge that maybe this is the year things finally shift.

In today’s episode, we’re kicking off 2026 by talking honestly about visibility, branding, and what it actually takes to become in demand as a wedding photographer or filmmaker. Not just busy. Not just posting. But booking the kind of clients and weddings that move the needle and light us up creatively.

So many of us are doing all the “right” things and still feel invisible. We’re showing up online. We’re posting consistently. We’re trying to keep up with trends. And yet the bookings don’t always reflect the effort.

And the truth is, visibility alone isn’t enough.

In this conversation, we’re introducing the framework behind our brand new Magnetic Brand Masterclass and walking through what it really looks like to build a brand that attracts the right clients, better opportunities, and sustainable growth. We talk through who we’re actually trying to reach, what we’re putting out into the world, where we’re showing up, and why getting clear on our deeper motivation matters more than ever as we scale.
