Inside the Mind of a Bride: Emma’s Wedding Journey
It's been a long time since I last chatted to a bride on this podcast. So this week, I step outside the usual conversations with fellow photographer/suppliers and chat with Emma, a bride-to-be whose wedding I will be photographing very very soon!We dive into how she's planned her wedding. What matters most and least! Emma also reveals the one key method she used to book most of her suppliers—something every wedding professional should hear because I suspect many people do this too!Plus, when given the choice between a videographer and a content creator, her answer might just surprise you!As wedding photographers, we can’t just stay in our own bubble, assuming we know what couples want. Only by talking and listening to our customers like Emma, can we truy understand what modern couples expect. I firmly believe these valuable insights can help us create a better experience for our clients.
