Behind the Scenes of a Celebrity Wedding Photographer
Manage episode 378652132 series 3074771
Do you want to know what made Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and music heartthrob Joe Jonas say “you’re hired” to Corbin Gurkin, photographer extraordinaire?
I certainly did! That’s why I brought her on the Play It Brave podcast this week!
Corbin is a photographer of more than 20 years and has photographed weddings in California’s wine country, the striking beaches of Thailand, country estates in Ireland, and the hillside villages of Tuscany. Her work is regularly featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Town & Country, and she’s captured PDN’s Top Knots Wedding Photography grand prize award. Corbin’s celebrity clients include Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas, Allen Leech & Jessica Herman, Ashley Tisdale & Christopher French, and many others she can’t tell us about.
Corbin was able to build her reputation by not only exceeding the expectations of her clients with outstanding work, but she often submitted her images for publication. After being featured in publications like Martha Stewart Weddings, Once Wed, and Elle Decor early in her career, she became widely trusted by high end wedding planners and couples. This just goes to show that putting off submitting your work could mean putting off your goal of reaching the luxury clients of your dreams!
