  • This podcast has changed my life

    Taylor and Kelly's podcast has allowed me to pull back the curtain on what a truly luxury wedding is like. Their jampacked informative podcast episodes allow me to take away 3 to 5 improvements each week and implement them into my own business. If you're looking for a business podcast that helps you make more money as a wedding creative, this is the podcast for you.

  • Great resource for growing your business

    This podcast has been a really solid resource for me as I’ve been working to grow and elevate my business. The way Taylor and Kelley break things down, especially around positioning and moving into the luxury market, has been super helpful and easy to understand.

    I’ve also taken their mastermind, and that alone gave me a lot of clarity and confidence in how I approach my brand, pricing, and the kind of clients I want to attract. You can tell they genuinely want to see people win.

  • Changed my Business Trajectory

    Taylor and Kelley are true masterminds in their craft. They skillfully introduced a luxury market that I never would have considered, and show that it’s possible for every single listener to achieve. They pour helpful metaphors, tangible takeaways, and so much heart into this podcast that then led me inside their Mastermind course. Well worth the listen!

278: Why Gen Z Couples Want Wedding Albums Again
Q: What selling angles work best for Gen Z when pitching an album?
Pitch storytelling first, show how the album unfolds like a magnum opus across chapters, and position it as a natural, tangible extension of the wedding day rather than a separate add-on. Emphasize personalization and the ways to incorporate mementos into the album design to make it feel unique and heirloom-worthy.

Q: Do you have tips for maintaining a constant reminder of your initial why or goal?
Write down the mission and vision, revisit it regularly, and acknowledge that the goal may evolve with growth, but the core reason for starting stays a guiding beacon that helps prevent distraction.
