The Unexpected Entrepreneur

In this episode of The Unexpected Entrepreneur Podcast Jessie chats with photographer Eilish Bailey on her experience blogging with us and how she has been able to reach more ideal clients and rely less on social media with her blog!

About Eilish:

I'm Eilish, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Central Virginia! I'm known for creating a laid-back environment for my clients to be present at the moment and straying away from traditional wedding photography that you see in big publications to give each couple a reflection of their unique love. I embrace the chaos of these once-in-a-lifetime events and love creating reception imagery that feels like my clients' own personal concert photos.

Tune into this week's episode where we talk with copywriter and brand photographer Sarah Wayte all about your brand's voice and messaging and the role it plays in your business!

About Sarah

Who knew the girl who used a whole roll of film taking pictures of headstones (age 7) and wrote a terrible poem about memories (age 9) would become a photographer and copywriter?

Let that be your inspiration. If I can do it, then really, ANYONE CAN.

I've always been creative, but it took a 20-year career as a paramedic to work out what I really hated doing and a move halfway across the world to finally do the thing I really wanted to do. I'm nothing if a little slow to figure things out ;-) I ran a successful wedding and portrait photography business for almost 8 years alongside my ambulance service life. And Sarah Wayte Creative has been my full-time obsession since 2019.

English-born with proudly Maltese heritage, I'm an introvert with a fiery, passionate heart (and a tendency to wave my arms around while speaking). Yes, I do say 'arse' and yes, I'll pronounce words in ways that'll make you giggle. *shrug*

I'm a cat-Mum to two and wife to a fella who goes with all my madcap ideas. And I'm all about helping you to express your real, honest self through your words and your photos.

Tune into this week's episode where we talk with copywriter Andrea Shah all about personality driven website copy and tips for writing it yourself.

Andrea Shah is a copywriter for wedding pros who want to tell a story about their work that resonates with ideal clients and frames their client experience. Her work combines buyer psychology, brand voice, SEO, and a lot of time spent scrolling through Reddit to discover what your clients really think when planning their wedding. Away from the computer, you'll find her re-watching Veep, working on her TBR pile, and making homemade chocolate-chip banana muffins.
