MY WEDDING SEASON – THE PODCAST
EPISODE 09: VALERIE FERNANDEZ – CULTIVATING ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
SHOW NOTES
On today’s episode, I am joined by my friend, Valerie Fernandez, all the way from Vanuatu.
Valerie works closely with her couples to create absolute magic – she describes the drive behind the images that she creates in four words: intimacy, connection, passion and vulnerability.
The water is a key element in her art – and in our time together, she talks about how she has recently found her way back to the ocean. I am putting a trigger warning on this episode, because we do talk about the pain of loss and grief. It is highly relevant and a cornerstone in Valerie’s story and her work.
This conversation is definitely for you if you are on the journey of finding your authentic artistic voice as a photographer.

Are you in? Get ready to take some notes…
It’s a common frustration within the wedding photography industry to hear complaints from photographers about potential clients disappearing after showing initial interest in their services. The phenomenon of “ghosting” can leave photographers feeling disheartened and uncertain about how to proceed. However, rather than dwelling on the disappointment, I firmly believe in taking a proactive approach to address this challenge head-on.
By implementing strategies to engage potential clients more effectively, provide added value, and streamline the booking process, we can not only reduce the likelihood of being ghosted but also enhance the overall client experience. In this episode, I provide you with actionable steps to overcome this obstacle and build stronger connections with potential clients.
