I think creating a brand consistent with your personality is a great way to attract the right clients and prevent burnout in yourself. When I see photographers say they focus on adventure, but their Instagram stories are consistently fancy coffee shops, brunch places, and expensive nights in cities, I feel like they are marketing to the wrong crowd. What are you doing with your branding to attract clients?<\/p>\n
I also think being a husband\/wife team helps a lot, our couples often say their session felt more like a double-date than a photo shoot! We also try to meet up for food or drinks beforehand (or bring our own) and often meet up before a session to crack open beers and chill in the van! A huge part of it is that pre-session or pre-wedding friendship.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been really adamant about documenting our own adventures, so I was doing \u201cadventure sessions\u201d well before our first paid gig. When I started my business, I learned so much by seeing how others were doing things and I still do that all the time now. We\u2019ve had so many clients that were planning a traditional wedding until they came across our social media and were inspired to change it up. We are able to put our personalities and life out in front of so many people, which inspires and grows our niche every single day. The way we run our business on the road, I honestly don\u2019t know if it would be possible without social media. How has social media affected your business?<\/p>\n

Describe your workspace\/studio.Well, we live in a small van, so my \u201cworkspace\u201d changes constantly.
