As a wedding photographer, you have to juggle a lot: client inquiries, bookings, scheduling, product orders, invoicing, post-processing, delivery… In other words: chaos!

Wedding professionals are among the hardest working business owners around. Because of that, they also struggle with the one thing that will take their business to the next level: asking for help.

We all struggle with that, don’t we? But prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing is important, and help IS available for your photography business. It comes in three simple words: Online Business Manager. Or, if you prefer acronyms: OBM.

Creating Calm in Your Business Strategy

Adding an OBM to your team is like taking a healing breath of fresh air after too many hours in a stuffy office— you’ll feel so much better after doing it! Not only can an OBM help with project and client management, they can relieve the burden of those small, everyday tasks that sap your energy (checking emails, posting on social media, etc.).

So, what exactly can an OBM do for you during wedding season? Let’s break it down.

Project Management

Say goodbye to photoshoot chaos and hello to seamless organization. An OBM can expertly handle all of the behind-the-scenes logistics— deadlines, meetings, and deliverables— and set up a foolproof system to track every detail, prioritize tasks, and even assign duties to your team. So, take a deep breath and concentrate on capturing those breathtaking moments while your OBM takes care of the rest.

Client Management

As if managing projects weren’t enough, wedding photographers also need to manage clients. From responding to inquiries to invoicing and follow-ups, an OBM can help streamline the entire process. They’ll make sure your clients are taken care of from start to finish and that you’re staying on top of everything. Your OBM can act as a liaison between you and your clients, ensuring everyone is happy and expectations are met.

Business Strategy

If we’re being real, the wedding industry comes with its own unique challenges. And of course, you want to grow your business and become a top wedding photographer in your city. But how? An OBM for wedding professionals is someone who knows the industry inside and out. They can help you develop a strategic plan, analyze market trends, and identify new opportunities. They’ll also optimize your pricing strategy to ensure that you’re charging a fair price— you deserve to get paid!

And if all of that doesn’t win you over, an OBM can also act as a mentor, advisor, and cheerleader. They’re there to provide you with advice, support, and guidance—all the tools needed to reach your business goals.

Save Precious Time

One of the best reasons to work with an OBM is how much time it can save you— time you can spend doing what you love: photography! An OBM will greatly help you with time management and take care of your to-do list, so you don’t have to. Imagine being able to focus on the art that you’re passionate about and having someone else worry about the business side. What a relief!

Work with an OBM Who Knows the Wedding Industry

I understand what it takes to be successful in the wedding industry because I used to be a wedding professional. I worked as a wedding planner for many years until I realized I had a special talent that my fellow creatives desperately needed: business operations! I love creating plans and strategies and helping others grow their businesses into the successes they’ve always dreamed of.

I would love to be part of your team and assist your business from an insider’s perspective. Let’s book a discovery call to talk about how I can take the pressure off of your wedding photography business and shift your days from chaos to calm.
