Life as a Houston Wedding Photographer

Life as a Houston Wedding Photographer – as told by Jessi Marri Photography

I couldn’t ask for a better life! Whenever someone finds out what I do for a living they always ask, “Do you do that full time or part time?” I am so incredibly blessed and lucky to be able to call this Houston Wedding Photographer career a full time job going on 3 years now. In the beginning, the struggle was real! I was working another part time job while at the same time working on building the business and a stable client base. I was working seven days a week and easily 60-70 hours a week between both jobs. It just goes to show how much hard work really does pay off though! As a full time Houston Wedding Photographer, I still work a lot. On any given week, I still put in more than the traditional 40 hour work week. It so different though! Getting to do what you love just doesn’t feel like work so much! Don’t get me wrong, there are still moments doing certain tasks where it is most definitely work and I would rather be doing something else. (who doesn’t feel that way?) However, there is nothing better than the feeling of putting in a hard day of work and at the end knowing that all that effort went to building my own dream rather than someone else’s.

It is a tremendous joy to run and operate my own business a a Houston Wedding Photographer on a full time basis! I cannot imagine being this happy doing anything else in the world. Every single day I am sowing new seeds into the future of this company. I can’t wait to see what the future holds as I continue on this journey!

There are so many weddings in Houston. This mean there are a ton of proposals, engagements and Houston engagement photography. Are you engaged? Are you planning on proposing? Making the decision to spend the rest of your lives together for any couple is such a huge deal. The whole planning process for a wedding can be a huge piece on the plate of life for todays bride and groom. Houston engagement photography should be something that is high on the list of importance. After all, for alot of couples the engagement session is the first set of professional photos that they have together. Everyone sees these images as brides and groom are quick to share them across social media and use them for the save the dates for the actual wedding event itself. Houston engagement photography should be done by a photographer that the couple trust and hopefully one that will also be shooting on the wedding day. Alot of couples dont think about the importance of having the same photographer for both events. The engagement session is like a trial run to how the wedding day will go. The photographer is getting used to the couple and deciding the best poses that work for them and which one really dont work for them. At the same time, the couple is able to learn how the photographer works and gives direction. Ideally, all parties should feel comfortable and natural so that the final product is flawless. Houston engagement photography is the foundation to wedding day photography. Dont neglect your Houston engagement photography!
