Elopement is a sacred and special day that ought to be captured and stored forever. Yet, being an elopement photographer is vastly different from the role of a wedding photographer. Today we speak with adventure elopement photographer Megan MacPhail about her industry and its nuances. We kick off the show by finding out how Megan first got involved in the industry. After hearing about her challenges as a veterinary doctor, she tells us about her burning desire to pursue a career that would feed her soul and give her fire. Megan then tells us how she helps couples plan their elopements. We learn that many couples don’t have knowledge about the process, and it’s up to Megan to furnish her clients with concepts and big ideas. To do this, Megan needs to have an intimate knowledge of a variety of elopement locations. As her business grows, she travels to further corners of North America, expanding her own knowledge-base. To conclude the show we ask Megan to tell us about the most common mistakes she sees from novice elopement photographers. She touches on mindset, staying true to your “why”, and the need for quick turnaround times. Join us today and find out more about this growing niche!
