After a decade of photographing weddings, we made the big decision to leave the altar behind and reclaim our golden hours. In 2018, we dove head-first into brand photography and we now own and operate a full-service agency with a team that serves small businesses... and we're not looking back. (Well we are on this episode!) Hear the story about what we learned along the way, why we decided to change our specialty and business model, and why we think wedding photographers make the best brand photographers.
