Julie is a Bridal School graduate who is getting back into the swing of all things wedding and sent in a question<\/a> about\u00a0 her wedding planner portfolio:<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Can you tell me how to go about putting together a portfolio of wedding photos. (I don’t have any clients, yet).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

A wedding planner portfolio refers to a visual collection showcasing your best stuff as a professional wedding planner. Your portfolio can be physical or digital and is an excellent opportunity to show others what you can do.<\/p>\n

If you’re a wedding designer, wedding stylist or a full-service wedding planner, your portfolio lets a prospect know whether or not you’re on the same ‘style’ page.<\/p>\n

No matter what type of wedding professional you are, each one of your potential clients want the same reassurance: that they’ll get their money’s worth (and more) when they hire you.\u00a0 A portfolio of weddings and events that you’ve managed\/created\/designed helps with this reassurance.<\/p>\n

The thing is, if you’re a new wedding planner without clients and have yet to work on any weddings – Julie’s dilemma- then, how do get the images for your wedding planner portfolio?<\/p>\n

Well, I’m glad you asked!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
