A few weeks ago we were asked to speak at Mile High Photographers, a local photography association here in Colorado. What do you talk about for two hours and make sure it’s important and worth listening to. After much discussion, we decided to talk about creativity and being yourself. It sounds trivial right? It is for some. It becomes obvious after looking at a dozen or so blogs, the wedding industry is having a hard time being themselves. The same kinds of processing, using the same places and props. Even their blogs and websites look the same. Off on my tangent but, it seems trivial and it isn’t. The very first decision should be who am I and what is my vision. Unfortunately, since this takes time and many are scared to understand themselves they mimic what they see. Many times they pick someone they think is doing well or is successful. Angie and I believe this is the first mistake many people make when entering the business. It is so fundamental that your business may never recover from making the wrong decision. As artists and photographers we would love to see more people follow their vision, whats unique to them and garner the success they deserve from it. We hope our little talk inspired the group to think inside themselves, to push themselves and figure out what is truly unique about them and their business.
Thank you to everyone who attended, it was great meeting you all!
