Prepping for 2025: Wedding Photographer Edition
As we look ahead to 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect, plan, and fine-tune everything that makes our businesses thrive. For me, this season is all about growth, balance, and serving couples in the best way possible. So here’s a peek into how I’m preparing for 2025 as a wedding photographer – what’s staying the same, what’s changing, and advice I’m sharing with couples planning their big day!
What’s Staying the Same & What’s Changing
If I’m being honest, I’ve been guilty of letting some of my admin work take a back seat in 2024. Sound familiar? This year, I’m stepping it up in a big way:
Upscaling my tools: I’m revamping guides, updating my website, refining templates, and making sure every piece of the client experience feels polished and intentional.
Improving workflows: I’m creating a streamlined workflow that keeps me organized while allowing me to stick to it consistently. No more scrambling!
Work-life balance: The biggest goal for me is finding a better work-life balance – because a well-rested photographer is a better photographer.
Overall, I’m committed to prioritizing my time, my clients, and my own well-being. 2025 is going to be a year of intentionality and growth!
Advice for 2025 Brides & Couples
My biggest piece of advice for couples planning their 2025 wedding? Reach out early!
I’ve noticed a trend this year: many photographers (myself included) are scaling back in 2025. This means their availability is lower, and the sooner you inquire with your favorite vendors, the better chance you have of locking in your dream team. If you’ve found a photographer whose work you adore, don’t wait! Securing them early is the best way to ensure your wedding day vision comes to life.
Leaving Behind in 2024, Taking Into 2025
As a business owner, I’m leaving behind the habits that held me back in 2024:
Goodbye, poor time management.
Goodbye, work-life imbalance.
Instead, I’m taking a fresh approach into 2025:
Better work-from-home strategies: Creating a routine that supports my productivity and my personal time.
Prioritizing my business and my well-being: Showing up as the best version of myself for both my clients and my loved ones.
Final Thoughts
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year! With more balance, improved systems, and a renewed focus on serving my couples, I’m ready to make this the best year yet for my business. If you’re a 2025 couple, don’t forget – reach out early, secure your dream vendors, and let’s make magic together!
