085: Are Bridal Shows Worth It?
Episode 85
lundi 16 juin 2025 • Duration 27:25
Continuing our coaching *mini series* with a very controversial topic, and my hot take may surprise you! We dive into my full system for Bridal Shows in Photography Business Mastermind, (from booth setup to text and email templates, and more!). But here is a little taste for you today.
*Get your free contact card TEMPLATE to use at your next bridal show!
When I was first starting out, bridal shows had a bit of a bad reputation. I’d hear things like “they’re outdated,” “you only meet budget shoppers,” or “it’s a total waste of time.” But now that I’ve been in this industry for years, I can confidently say—bridal shows can be an incredible way to meet your ideal clients... if you approach them strategically. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to make bridal shows actually work for your photography business. I’m sharing what to look for, how to show up intentionally, and why you should never overlook the power of free venue open houses. If you’ve ever written off bridal shows, this might just change your mind.
