Back in 2007 when I started photographing weddings, I had no idea it would turn into an actual business. I just knew at the time that I loved photography (spoiler alert: I still do) and wanted to make some money with it outside of teaching.

Fast forward a year and I was in the thick of it—piecing together everything to make sure the business ran smoothly with no real roadmap in front of me. But I found my way and over the last 15 years I have made some improvements to the products, tools, and application I use to run my business on a daily basis. I want to save you that time of being unsure and piecing everything together, so dive in to take a look at my favorite things that work really well for me.
