Curate
Do more with less.
Curate your portfolio, website, and social content to instantly attract your ideal client, elevate your brand, and confidently become an in-demand wedding photographer.
Right now getting clients feels harder than it should.
You’ve been putting in the effort. You’ve been reaching out, connecting, and networking. But despite your best efforts, all your hard work isn’t translating into the right referrals and business.
Whether you aren’t booking enough clients, or you’ve been wanting (but hesitant) to raise your prices there’s usually one BIG problem that’s keeping you from getting the referrals and clients you want.
Did you know that it takes less than 8.5 seconds for a potential client (or planner) to decide if you’re the caliber of photographer they want to work with? It doesn’t matter if you’re a great photographer, your website, social content, and portfolio can make or break your success in seconds.
That’s where CURATE comes in; designed specifically for wedding photographers who want to elevate their brand and become alluring to wedding planners and brides.
The details are what matter most.
Choosing images that showcase your best work is crucial, but remember, quality beats quantity. Too many images can overwhelm and confuse potential clients, especially wedding planners.
It’s not just about the photos; it’s about the overall experience you create. Wedding planners prioritize how you make them feel, so ensure your presentation is seamless and enjoyable to avoid turning them away.
Consistent referrals
Imagine lasting relationships with wedding planners who send you ideal clients. When you curate planners can see that you know how to create an experience for their clients.
Ideal clients
When you curate you show what you want to attract. Your ideal clients can immediately see themselves in your images and feel the experience you will help them create.
Confidence
Get ready for an unshakable confidence and belief in your own value. When you curate your value becomes so clear that elevating to the next level feels easy.
When you curate, this is what’s waiting for you.
