Kicking off my First Business Trip of 2021 felt like a huge milestone. It marked the beginning of a year where I decided to turn my photography and videography passion into a full-time career. My goal was simple: make capturing life’s memories my main focus. Building my portfolio became the first big step toward breaking into the industry. This trip was a chance to grow, learn, and push myself further.

Attending a styled shoot during my First Business Trip of 2021 was a lot like going to a workshop or networking event. You meet others with similar goals, exchange ideas, and experiment with new techniques. It’s the perfect opportunity to try things you wouldn’t attempt during a real wedding. Styled shoots also help expand your portfolio, giving you fresh content to showcase.

I had an amazing time connecting with others and learning new ways to capture weddings. The results exceeded my expectations. I’m already planning to attend more styled shoots in the coming months to keep building my portfolio. Hopefully, future couples will trust me to be their storyteller!
