Something we started YEARS ago is having reveal sessions for our wedding clients. That is, once their photos are all edited and ready to be delivered, we hav them out to our studio, provide their favorite drinks and snacks, and we watch a slideshow of the best 300-400 photos from their wedding day. It is always so much fun to reminisce the wedding day and tell the stories behind the moments in the photos that the couple missed.

This couple was so cute! Their height difference alone made them fun to photograph.

I wrote this article thinking about Matt, and if he asked me to give him two tips on how to better market his business. This is how I would've answered him:

1. When marketing: tell a story, but don't put your brand in the role of the main character. Your brand should play the role of the trusted advisor to the client playing the role of the main character. I highly recommend reading the book for more details on this tip.

2. Think of one of your BEST friends. What if they came into your workspace and asked what you were working on, how would you tell them? Would you include catchy one liners and clickbait? Probably not. If we write a post like we're talking to our best friend, there's an authenticity that comes through it. I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I love to see that authenticity. It's powerful and compelling.

The point of marketing is to be noticed; but it can be really difficult to stand out. We get it, we've built our business in a highly saturated industry. Think about it, everyone knows at least 10 photographers. A lot of perseverance, grit, and creative thinking is needed. But, if we can do it, so can you.

Our quaint Mayberry-like town called Mantua (pronounced: Man-ah-way) where everyone knows each other, the high school seniors drive their tractors to school on their last day, roads were graded to help farmers stop loosing potatoes, and there are entire committees of people just wanting to better the place for the good of the community. It's a great place to be and to run our business. If you look closely, you can see our studio sign in the last photo.

Happy belated birthday to one of Five Five Media Co.'s youngest artists. Matthew is now 14 years old and is already an award winning photographer and painter. He brought in first place at the Geauga County Fair in the adult "spring" category with his tulip photo, and first place in the adult watercolor category with his eagle painting. But if you ask him what he wants to do with his life, it isn't take over Five Five Media Co.. He has big dreams of purchasing rental properties, becoming a Wildlife Biologist, and traveling the world to study and help endangered species.

He is also a wonderful interviewer, businessman, farmer, student, big brother to his siblings, and son! We are so proud of you Matthew and we pray that God guides your steps, blesses all of your efforts, gives you the grit to accomplish your goals, and continues to give you compassion for those around you.

You are so loved!

May you never be the reason why someone who loved to sing, doesn't anymore. Or why someone who dressed so uniquely, now wears plain clothing. Or why someone who always spoke so excitedly about their dreams, is now silent about them.

We were called in for an emergency photoshoot...and the last two photos are the cutest!

This bride traveled to Ohio from the Carolinas for their engagement session then their photographer canceled. Their good friend follows us and suggested they reach out. We were shooting a party, a wedding, and the cover for Chagrin Falls' Neighbors magazine that weekend but we made it work....even though it rained.

They were so sweet and we had a lot of fun shooting in the rain.
