Well it is official, I am now a Limited Liability Company (LLC). It is kind of like a corporation with less paperwork. Basically it makes my business a separate entity from myself. By creating an LLC (or a corporation) you give yourself some liability protection, and you have to pay taxes for the LLC separately from yourself. It does involve some more record keeping, but that won't be a big deal.
I had my first wedding show last Sunday, it was at the Boettcher Mansion where I have signed up for their vendor referral program. I pay them ($900) and I get to be in three wedding shows, I am on their vendor referral list and their event manager will personally recommend me to certain brides and grooms. I will also have the opportunity to network and meet other wedding professionals. The show went pretty well, I met and talked to some brides and grooms, I was also able to better gauge the competition. I met a few photographers who said they would be happy to meet with me and answer any questions that I may have. So all in all it was a very successful day, and I am certain that being a part of the Boettcher Mansion will be very beneficial to me. It also showed me that I do have some work to do. I am getting very excited for Mike and Carly's wedding in two weeks. To be able to add to my portfolio, is going to be extremely helpful.
I have a lot of work to do, and I know things aren't going to be easy, but I feel that I am setting myself up and putting things into place that will help me be successful.
