Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Christina Montemurro of www.christinamontemurrophotography.com was recommended to me by Jenny Stein, another podcaster, photographer and past guest on the show. Jenny told me Christina is unique and offers both wedding photography and video. I reached out to Christina for an interview after looking at her work, and in her initial reply, she said… I'm not great with sales/profit/marketing. But I am good with efficiency/workflow/productivity. And I may be a bit unique as I'm pretty evenly split between photography and video. I learned Christina has been in business since 2009, and most wedding clients spend between $3000 – $3500 USD. That was enough for me, and my guess was there's more to discover about the business of this married mother of two, based in Pittsburgh, USA. In this interview, learn how you can successfully combine wedding videography and photography into your business.  Here's some more of what we cover in the interview: What’s on Offer for Premium Members If you’re a premium member, you should have received an email with links to your version of this interview – the full length and more revealing version where you hear the absolute best tips and advice from every guest.
