If you are searching in the Upstate South Carolina area for a really good photography team, you are sure to come across Bozwell Photography. Ron and Gretchen’s work is pretty amazing and they are such a sweet couple to work with.
I recently asked if they would take a few minutes to let me interview them so my readers could get to know a little more about the Bozwells. Below is the interview. Enjoy!
Tell me what makes your company special:
We are a husband and wife team, and we really enjoy working together ... even though some of our clients tell us they could never work with their spouse! It works for us because we each specialize in different areas. Ron brings the photography and technical expertise; I (Gretchen) focus on client relations, marketing and production. On wedding days and portrait sessions, we work together on creativity and unique angles.
How did you get started in the business?
Ron started his work in photography as a high school student, and then moved on to complete his bachelor's and master's degrees. Basically, he hasn't put down his camera since he developed his first roll of film more than 20 years ago. Shortly after we got married, Ron put his photography experience and my career in public relations together and launched Bozwell Photography in 1997.
What do you like best about your job?
Meeting new people ... by the time we finish a couple's wedding, we often feel like we've gained a new set of friends!
Tell us about your favorite wedding or event:
To be a bit generic, our favorite wedding is (1) well organized; (2) outside on a beautiful day; and (3) features a couple who is relaxed and not taking themselves too seriously, but totally enjoying themselves and their guests.
What are the questions a bride should ask when choosing a vendor in your field?
1) Can I see samples of your work?
2) Will you be the photographer or will you send an assistant without telling me prior to the wedding?
3) Why should I hire a professional when I can have a friend or relative take the pictures?
4) How much experience do you bring to the event?
5) Tell me about weddings similar to mine that you have photographed.
What’s the hardest thing about your job?
Taking terrific photographs when the wedding is completely unorganized!
Anything else we should know?
Don't skimp on your photography budget ... your photographs are the only tangible memories of your day and the time/money you have invested in all of the other aspects of your wedding.
