Have you ever done a styled shoot for your wedding business?
If you have, you’ll know that they make great marketing material, but they take a lot of work to create, coordinate, and execute from start to finish. So, are styled shoots worth the effort? I thought we should ask a professional.
Margaux Fraise is here to teach us all about the pros and cons of styled shoots and how to plan one if you decide it’s the right move for your business. Margaux is taking us through her streamlined styled shoot process with an emphasis on post-shoot submission strategies to extend the shelf-life and ROI of your project.
Margaux Fraise is the owner and creative director of Harmony Creative Studio, an award-winning boutique wedding firm in Los Angeles, CA. Since moving from retail consulting to events in 2011, her goal has been to design weddings with intention, infusing celebrations with her signature organic and minimal style yet still tailored to each couple. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including Style Me Pretty, Brides, and Green Wedding Shoes.
