How to Book, Plan, and Photograph Surprise Engagement Proposals with Amandarose Szezorak
33m · PublishedIn this episode of the Build and Bloom photography podcast, I am joined by Amandarose of AGS Photo Art. Amandarose started photographing surprise proposals after she noticed a gap in the industry where people wanted to have this magical moment in their lives photographed. Still, very few photographers were willing to take it on.
She helps her clients craft a stress-free, seamless proposal with the option to tailor their vision with her and even a planner. Photographing proposals has opened the door for creating meaningful connections with couples looking for a great first-time experience with a photographer who can later photograph their wedding day too. Adding surprise proposals to her offerings has increased her revenue by well over $50,000, and she has made even more by booking their wedding too!

How to Build an Associate Team for Your Photography Business with Kelsey of Honeybee Weddings
41m · PublishedIn this episode of the Build and Bloom podcast, I’m joined by guest Kelsey of Honeybee Weddings. Kelsey has a six-figure destination elopement photography business with an associate team. She will walk us through how to build a team of associate photographers.
Have you heard the term “associate photographer” before? It’s common in the wedding industry and means you can expand your business and brand by taking in super-talented photographers to work under your business. They shoot weddings for you, so you can say yes to more wedding clients without being the one to shoot every wedding. Then, as an associate photographer, you can practice your craft and get paid for it without having the workload of booking weddings because the main photographer handles that!
Kelsey is giving us 6 Signs you’re ready for an associate and the 5 steps to take in hiring. She’s even going to break down pricing for us, sharing an example of a $6,000 package. What percentage goes to the associate, and what goes to the profit, taxes, and more.
If you are a photographer booking many weddings and want to find more ways to expand your business when your calendar is maxed out, you should consider bringing on associates.
Even if you're new in the industry, associate photographers can be a goal that you can build long before you feel the burnout. One of the hardest parts of an associate brand is knowing exactly how to position your team so couples will trust them and want to work with someone other than you. Kelsey's here to walk you through her pricing techniques, inquiry phone calls, and back-end process to help set up the photographers and the couple for success!
