In this final Thrive episode of 'Perspective by Cinemate,' we're joined by the talented Melody Joy, a wedding photographer whose business now thrives (see what we did there) in the UK after relocating from Chicago. Melody opens up about her life changes, including getting married and settling in Edinburgh, and how these experiences have shaped her work. She delves into her focused, targeted marketing strategies, emphasizing the power of SEO and Pinterest in attracting consistent UK inquiries. Melody's artistic evolution is also a key focus, as she discusses transitioning from moodier colors to lighter tones and her love for minimalist compositions in her photography, even amidst wedding day chaos. She also shares insights into her post-production techniques, including the use of flash for striking evening shots. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of personal growth and professional creativity in wedding photography.
