2019 saw a lot of changes and growth in our business.
2019 was Miguel’s first full year with Flora Bloom Photography, and I truly believe that he is a huge part of the reason why we had so much growth this year. His vibrant and outgoing personality brought what I needed into our business and helped us to get where we are today! Thanks to my hubby, we have booked more weddings than ever before, added video to our offerings, and made amazing industry friends and partners. Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments this year:
1) Our First Video
Andrew and Heather got married in February of this year. At that point, we knew we wanted to add video to Flora Bloom Photography, but we didn’t have much experience with it. Heather and Andrew are dear friends of ours, and Miguel and I were actually invited to their wedding as guests. That morning, I woke up, asked Miguel if he wanted to try out video, called Heather to ask if she had hired a videographer (she said no), and then offered to come early to do video for them. It was certainly a whirlwind, but I am so pleased with how it came out!
2) A Wedding Planner’s Wedding
Few things feel better or speak louder than when an industry professional trusts you for their own wedding. Kim of Pearl White Events married her love this summer, and their wedding was one for the books. This wedding was a multicultural all day affair that saw some of Orlando’s best vendors come together to create true magic. We are so honored to have been a part of it. See more of their fairytale wedding day here.
3) Wedding MBA
Every year in October or November, there is a huge wedding industry conference in Las Vegas called Wedding MBA. It’s a week of education and networking from some of the best in the industry, and we have gone the past two years. So many notes were taken, and so many things have been implemented to improve our business. It’s an amazing experience, and one that we would recommend to anyone who asks. Plus, who doesn’t love going to Vegas?
4) Our First Disney Wedding
We live in Orlando y’all. I have been obsessed with Disney weddings since I was a teenager, and I have longed to photograph one for agesssssss. This year, we had the privilege of photographing this amazing couple’s wedding, and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. The day was absolutely perfect, and it will go down as one of my top five weddings ever. See more of their wedding here.
5) We Exceeded Our Booking Goal!
These are just a few of the amazing couples who’s weddings we get to photograph this year! At the end of 2018, we set a goal for ourselves to book more weddings in 2019 than we ever had in a single year before. We met that goal less than half way through the year! By the time 2019 came to a close last night, we had exceeded our goal by 50%! None of this would have been possible without the support and friendship of those in the industry who want to help us succeed. We owe so much to our friendors and the amazing couples who have trusted us for 2020, and we can’t wait to see what this year brings!
Here’s to 2020!!!
