Embarking on the journey of a full-time wedding and portrait photographer is no small feat. In my recent YouTube video, I aim to provide you with a glimpse into the daily hustle and excitement that comes with this profession. From the moment I open my eyes to the last click of the camera, join me as I take you through a typical day filled with gallery uploading, bridal store adventures, and back-to-back photoshoots 🙂

Gallery Uploading and Morning Routine: The day kicked off with the familiar tasks of gallery uploading and tackling a flood of emails. As a full-time photographer, staying organized and responsive is crucial, and these early morning activities set the tone for the day ahead. With camera gear packed and enthusiasm in tow, I was ready to dive into the heart of my day.

Scouting for Light and Locations: One of the essential aspects of my work is scouting locations and perfecting the interplay between light and setting. The morning led me to a picturesque park, where I meticulously scouted for the ideal spots to capture stunning moments. Join me as I navigate the intricacies of finding the perfect backdrop for upcoming photoshoots.

Bridal Store Adventure: The excitement didn’t stop there. Venturing into a local bridal store added a unique flair to my day. Tasked with selecting the perfect wedding dress for an upcoming styled shoot, I share the behind-the-scenes process of making this crucial decision. It’s not all glamour and glitz – watch as I sift through dresses to find the one that will make the shoot truly magical.

Vlogging the Journey: Throughout the day, I made a conscious effort to vlog the moments in between. From phone calls and shoot inquiries to handling logistical details, this behind-the-scenes footage provides a candid look into the multitasking and coordination required in the life of a wedding and portrait photographer.

Back-to-Back Photoshoots: The climax of the day unfolded with back-to-back photoshoots at the park. Immersed in the creative process, I captured the essence of my subjects against the backdrop scouted earlier in the day. Join me in witnessing the energy, passion, and creativity that go into producing captivating wedding and portrait photography.
