Wedding Photography

After 1000 Weddings

By: Taylor Jackson

Narrated by: Taylor Jackson

After photographing over 1000 weddings as a photographer, I've learned a few things. I've learned things that have helped me book 70 weddings per season consistently. I've learned things that have helped me travel to every continent, including Antarctica. I also managed to do it all while being incredibly introverted and shy. Throughout this audiobook, I will share what I've done to go from a struggling server at an Outback Steakhouse in Canada to someone who has created a full-time business in wedding photography. I'll also share my secrets for creating a full-time business that doesn't take over your life. For me, I value time freedom the most. Of course, Saturdays are for weddings, but you can customize the rest of your week.

To define time freedom, it is being in control of when and where you work. Want to spend a few days at the cottage? No problem, you don't have to ask anyone for time off. Saw a cheap last-minute vacation package to a Caribbean island? Go for it, and answer your emails from the pool. Running your own business makes your life incredibly customizable and fun.

The financial side is also good. If you're averaging $3000 to $4000 per wedding and photographing 60 weddings, your business makes $210,000 annually. Not bad for a job that also comes with time freedom and flexibility. With all of this said, not everything has been perfect along the way. My hope with this book is that I can save you some of those struggles I went through. Whether you're year zero into business or already photographing busy seasons, there will be something in this book for you.

Pretty good and honest overview
