“got my first ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT inquiry EVER and they just booked!”
Guys!!! I can’t help but share my excitement right now!! I took the 7 day elopement challenge and implemented everything I learned and got my first ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT inquiry EVER and they just booked!!!! I’ve booked elopements, but this is my first real “adventure” elopement and I am SO PUMPED. The bride said she follows you guys at Adventure Instead on Instagram and she reached out to me because I reminded her of you!!! BEST COMPLIMENT EVER :sob::pleading_face: She wants me to help them choose a location AND she booked by biggest/all day package!! I’m seriously so thankful for this group and everything I’ve learned. I feel so prepared and ready to serve them. Thank you x1000 Maddie Mae!! :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:
“took Maddie Mae’s free course on full day elopements and booked two in 24 hours”
I had a couple days off so I took Maddie Mae’s free course on full day elopements and booked two in 24 hours. I was already getting the leads but I would have only booked them in for 4 hours . I feel like I owe her dinner or something … that’s an insane increase in revenue . thanks :heart: Maddie
“had 3 serious elopement inquiries that I have calls booked with”
After finishing the 7 day free elopement photographer challenge and implementing everything, I had 3 serious elopement inquiries that I have calls booked with! This was all in just a few days from each other. It’s obviously working what Maddie taught!! With 2021 looking like it’ll be more intimate weddings and elopements, I know that’s the route I want to take for my business.
AND AFTER THIS CHALLENGE, YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH..
A WEBSITE PAGE/BLOG POST & INSTAGRAM POST—ALL ABOUT ELOPEMENTS
AN EMAIL RESPONSE FOR ELOPEMENT INQUIRIES (COMPLETE WITH PRICING GUIDE)
There’s no way to get hired to photograph an elopement if nobody knows that you offer those services…
This challenge will walk you step-by-step on how to write a blog post all about elopements (and don’t worry, we’ll go through what information should go into that post, spread out over a few days) and how to share that blog post with your followers via an Instagram caption
When an elopement inquiry lands in your inbox, you’ll want to be able to respond as quickly as you can, which is why you’ll walk away from this challenge with a drafted template of what that initial inquiry response looks like…
And, even better, you’ll also create a personalized pricing guide just for elopements that will be ready to go alongside your response
PLANS FOR AN EPIC UPCOMING MOCK ELOPEMENT STYLED SHOOT
A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF WHY ELOPEMENTS MATTER TO YOU
The best possible way to show off your creative vision for the types of elopements that you want to be shooting is through your own photographs…
Which is why this challenge prompts you to plan a styled shoot where you have control over every aspect, including the modeling couple, attire, location, weather, and styling
It’s one thing to say you want to photograph elopements… and it is a completely different thing to be able to explain precisely why elopements speak to you and share that with potential clients in a way that forms a deep & personal connection that ultimately helps you get booked.
You’ll be able to communicate all this & more after the challenge
Wondering who is teaching this challenge?
Hey there,
I’M MADDIE MAE
A Colorado-based, Rangefinder-award-winning, full-time elopement photographer
with 120+ elopements under my belt, and 100 more elopement bookings on the calendar. I’ve traveled to 15 countries to help couples create their dream elopement days.
But my life as a photographer didn’t always look like this…
I started by photographing 100% big traditional weddings and barely scraping by. But after photographing my first elopement in 2015, I decided my truest passion & purpose was helping more couples be THEMSELVES on the day they got married and bringing the focus back to what truly matters—THEM, and their commitment to each other.
With some business & marketing strategy, I made the switch and within 12 months, I’d made over 6 figures from booking a season FULL of dream elopements. Since then, I’ve traveled the world, shot elopements close to home, and have truly mastered the art of marketing & booking awesome elopements.
Now our team, (me, Amber, and Tori) consistently receive 110-160 real elopement inquiries per month and make an average of over $8,000 on each elopement—all while exploring the world.
