Welcome Back! Today I sat down with Ben Lau, an incredible wedding photographer and entrepreneur from Northern New Jersey and NYC, to talk about building an associate team and running multiple brands. Ben shares his journey from solo photographer to managing three distinct wedding brands alongside his wife, Karis, allowing them to capture over 100 weddings a year. We dive into everything from finding the right people, defining brand identity, and the power of networking to keep a business thriving. I found this conversation super inspiring, and I hope you do too!
About Ben:
Ben Lau is one-half of a husband & wife duo who owns/manages 3 award winning wedding photography brands, photographing over 100 weddings every year in NYC & Northern NJ. He's also a sales & marketing educator, teaching wedding creatives how to do better in their sales & marketing, so they can focus on what they do best - their photography, filmmaking, or whatever it is that they sell. He and his wife are the founders of the Focused AF Summit, a business-focused wedding conference here in Northern NJ, and they're also co-hosts of the Focused AF Podcast, where he, his wife, along with another husband & wife duo, interview other successful entrepreneurs to learn how to level-up in their businesses.
