  • This Podcast Changed Everything!

    Stepping into my 10th year of business as a wedding photographer, I was feeling burnt out, thinking something has to change. Over the summer, I saw Chard Photo post about The Level Up Podcast. I tuned in and immediately knew this was the key to unlock that change. Taylor and Kelley’s wisdom, transparency and honesty shone through and was the difference maker for me. This podcast was the catapult to it all, a business mindset shift and the strategies to make in my business to push it into a new c... more

  • Game changer

    Listening to this podcast has really shown me how much I limit myself to branch out of my very small market. Taylor and Kelley are easy to listen to, and have some great episodes.

  • An incredible resource!!

    I can say, in all truth, this is the first podcast I started listening to that I ended up going to the beginning and listening to every episode. There are so many golden nuggets in every episode. I’m a photographer but I’ve learned so many things that I can utilize in my own business. Highly recommended!!

  • Wanted to love this :/

    I love a good podcast, especially when it has to do with the wedding industry… however after listening to about 10 episode, I found this podcast really fluffy. The only thing I actually learned was to “dress to impress”. Most of their content just promotes their paid mastermind class, what you could learn… Not worth your time.

  • Obsessed with this podcast!

    Finally found some influential videographers that I connect with! Being a mom in this industry can feel very isolating & hard to grow a business. These two motivate me to keep going and give such amazing educational content to help me scale my business! 10/10 would recommend if you want receive all and any advice to enter the premium or luxury market of weddings!
