We are chatting with Margaux Fraise from Harmony Creative Studio about how to safeguard your wedding business from the unexpected (COVID-19) and worst-case scenarios. We were already slated to chat when the coronavirus outbreak spread across the United States and ultimately put everything we know as “normal” on hold. Margaux helps us prepare for the unexpected as she is a cancer survivor and had to safeguard her own wedding planning business based in Los Angeles, California. I hope this podcast gives you clear, tangible, and actionable steps to do right now and a bit of hope at the light of the tunnel. We are going to get through this better and stronger than before. If you want more support, please join our Facebook community where I’m constantly sharing resources and ideas to keep you going in your wedding photography businesses. I am here for you, friends!
