So, after printing my best work, making sure I had enough business cards and preparing myself for my very first bridal show, the day is over, and I am left with a few thoughts…
Firstly, I absolutely loved the entire day! Having brides show up and tell me how pretty my work is and become interested in the photography I have to offer them is awesome! I received around 60 emails from brides eager to learn more about my business! I also made some new friends (other venders) who gave Chad (videographer) and I some awesome information to help make the brides more comfortable in the chaos.
Secondly, my voice is almost gone because of how much talking/screaming I had to do to communicate over the music provided by the DJ. Although there was plenty of good music, the loudness of it all was a bit overwhelming. I really enjoyed watching a few venders, brides and a little boy dance to the “Cupid Shuffle” and “Electric Slide”.
Lastly, I am very happy with my small business and the direction of where it’s going. It’s crazy to imagine where I was only a few years ago, and where I will be in a few years. Also, most of this would not be possible without the help of my wife, who always supports my dreams. I love you, angel!
