About this episode
The episode features an interview with Kelly from Kelly Sea Images, who discusses her success in the wedding photography industry despite recent challenges.
While we can all admit that 2024 (and even 2025) have been unusual years for the wedding industry, there are several outliers who've been bucking this trend of doom & gloom that seems to be everywhere you look. In today, episode, we interview one of those outliers: Kelly of Kelly Sea Images. Not only is she single-handedly photographing nearly triple digits of weddings every year (on her own, without an associate team!), and doing all the post-production work without the help of AI, she is also highly sought-after in the luxury market. She also dispels all the pervasive myths in the industry, and is living proof that: A human being can shoot more than 15 weddings a year, or even 50, for that matter. High volume shooters aren't necessarily cheap. Keeping your work, systems, communications and workflows simple is the key to success. https://www.instagram.com/kellyseaimages/ https://www.kellyseaimages.com/weddings/
