hair stylists
I've photographed almost 100 weddings and therefore, I have worked with MANY vendors. If you're not able to work with Elysian Weddings, make sure to check out Omnia Weddings! Here are a few makeup artists, hair stylists, and florists that I am always excited to see on my vendor list for a wedding! Make sure to reach out to them early because they book up quickly...for good reason my friends.

Have you ever thought about what you would do if Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or TikTok vanished and with it, so did your entire social media following?! What would your business look like then?
Having an email list has never been more important. List Builders Society with Amy Porterfield walks you through how to set up your email service provider and how to get potential clients to sign up for your newsletter. This course has transformed my business!
