The First Year SMASHED! - Megan Maxwell’s Story

About this episode

Megan Maxwell shares her journey of building a successful wedding photography business in just one year.

In this episode, I sit down and chat with Megan Maxwell, a wedding photographer I met a year ago and I could immediately tell she was a breath of fresh air. Just one year ago, Megan took voluntary redundancy and took a huge leap of faith in herself to enter the wedding photography industry. We talk openly about how she's managed to build a thriving business in such a short space of time. Megan talks about all the people who supported her along the way, the education she's invested in and the lessons she's learned along the way. Watching her confidence, skill and business mindset grow over the last twelve months has been incredible and this conversation shows exactly why it was not luck but hard work and an investment in education that has allowed Megan to leapfrog ahead of her competitors. If you are at the start of your photography journey, feeling stuck, or wondering how to turn interest into consistent bookings, Megan’s story will inspire you too.
