WYS #003: Styled Shoots and Getting Published on Wedding Blogs

Jan 19, 2016

This week on What's Your Secret, we have the lovely Emily Reiter of Anna Delores Photography. Emily is a wedding photographer based out of Ventura County, California who has been making impressive progress in the photography world since starting her business just under 5 years ago. Though there is a lot I could have talked to her about, we focused primarily on her advice for putting on styled wedding shoots and collaborating with vendors in the industry. Her list of published features ranges from Style Me Pretty to Pottery Barn to Darling Magazine.

In this episode you'll learn:

How she transitioned away from her job at a trade school architecture college toward a career as a professional wedding photographer.
What it's like to have an associate photographer that enabled her to shoot 50 weddings in 2015.
Tips for gathering vendors to collaborate with on styled shoots.
