#247: Why Hiring a Wedding Photographer Made Me Rethink Everything About Pricing


Listen Later

Have you ever thought about what it feels like to be the client instead of the photographer? On this week’s Joycast, I’m pulling back the curtain on a personal experience: my daughter’s wedding. 

For once, I wasn’t the one behind the lens, and let me tell you… It gave me a whole new perspective on what we do as photographers. Here’s a sneak peek:

  • The whirlwind of planning a budget-friendly wedding in six months (Did I mention it was during hurricane season?!)

  • What it was like to let go of my camera and savor every moment of the big day as a mom.

  • The emotions of seeing the final photos and video (and how they became the most priceless part of the entire event!)

Plus:

  • A fresh perspective on what it’s like on the client's side of photography.

  • The truth about digital files and why printed albums and artwork become lifelong treasures.

  • What this experience taught me about the emotional journey our clients go through when they invest in photography.

This week’s episode is a reminder of why what we do as photographers is so much bigger than just “taking pictures.” Photography is about love, legacy, and creating something people will treasure forever.
