With the virus spreading, more and more each day multiple industries are being financially impacted. While the best thing for us to do during this outbreak is to stay at home and not spread it further I think this is a great opportunity for those looking to get into the wedding or event photography business to learn and take steps so that their business isn’t destroyed from something like this. So I’m going to share 4 things I think you can apply to your starting or new wedding photography business to deal with things like this in the future.
KEEP IN MIND THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO STAY SAFE FROM THE VIRUS IN THIS VIDEO. PLEASE REFER TO NEWS OUTLETS AND THE CDC TO STAY SAFE

While we can't change current events…we can learn from them. Who's a new or starting wedding photog who is looking at things currently in awe?
Preach! Great stuff.
im about to start my first wedding gig and I bumped into one of your videos about using fuji for weddings. I've been using fuji for about 4 years now so there's no way im switching systems. this is only the second video I've seen from you and I just went and subscribed. I admire the way you explain things, keep it up man. gonna binge watch your videos since we all on social distancing lol stay safe
Wise words from a great wedding photographer! So far people have been awesome to us throughout our career and been very understanding so we've been lucky. While I think that contracts and communication are absolutely key, your point about being a servant, is so important. If your actions are coming from a place of compassion and caring, you'll always do the right thing.
Just discovered your channel via the Pic Time Blog! So good! Thanks for sharing
Heart of a servant and its mostly about customer service. Thanks!
I really concern what we are going to do, I acutely totally agree about customer service. I live in Chicago and the moment they said they closing the restaurants I knew they meant banquets to, so I contact my clients asking them to talk to the venue. if they can reschedule the wedding before its to late. my customers really appreciate that I step up to help them to do the right decision and about the Contract I told them I can make a new one whit new dates. so I still not losing costumer and there deposit and still keeping my job!
I believe its all temporary so we should not panic but try to fix what we have right now!
Thank you so much for this!!
these are kind words, and hard to come by now days, thanks John, new sub
Thanks for the video! Say for example that you have a gig next Saturday and another one on the next weekend. Both of them decide to postpone their weddings on the same date in July. What do you do? Has this ever happened to you?
I am not a wedding photographer, only someone who enjoys having fun with her entry level Canon T6. But I get so much from your channel, so much so that I am now ready/considering an upgrade to a Fujifilm…thanks to one of your previous videos.Who knows I just might get bit by the wedding photography bug. Ha. Thank you for such great content.
Yes sir, copy that!! communication is the key in all things successful. One love One heart One way.
Can you please provide your contact sample, So We can make it more powerful
A contract is a contract, and its very important to make clear that no redunds are made. This fist perfectly as an "act of god" part of it. Offer alternatives like a date reprograming.
