Today’s guest is Catherine Guidry, a wedding photographer known for her professional, organized approach and her ability to craft real, timeless imagery.

With a master’s degree in architecture, she has a deep understanding of color, light, and composition—using them to create photographs that feel more like works of art than just images. Catherine’s work has been featured in Over the Moon, The New York Times, Style Me Pretty, Brides, and more.

But what’s even more impressive is how she built her thriving business.

Catherine didn’t rely on flashy ads or aggressive marketing campaigns. Instead, she focused on relationships, trust, and creating a seamless client journey that naturally fuels referrals. Today, she’s pulling back the curtain to share how you can do the same in your business.

Today on the Six Figure Photography Podcast, we’re sitting down with destination wedding photographer and mentor, Staci Brucks. 

Known for her refined, editorial imagery and timeless storytelling, Staci has built a brand rooted in connection and intentionality. But behind the beautiful work is also a story of courage — of learning how to show up on Instagram, grow an audience, and put herself out there even when it felt uncomfortable or scary. 

In this episode, we’ll unpack what it really takes to grow on Instagram, the mindset shifts that make visibility easier, and the small steps that lead to big opportunities.

What I love about Staci’s story is her reminder that growth doesn’t come from having it all figured out — it comes from showing up, even when it’s imperfect, even when it’s scary. 

Instagram isn’t just about numbers or algorithms; it’s about courage, consistency, and connection. If you’ve been waiting for permission to step into the spotlight, let this be your sign.
