Danny Dong Photography: From Side Hustle To Luxury Wedding Photography Brand
Exotic, breathtaking locations, luxury wedding photos that wow, and a mastery of lighting – these are the words that we associate with ShootDotEdit customer Danny Dong Photography. He came to the US from China to get an MBA but ended up carving a niche for himself in the wedding photography industry in San Francisco and he never looked back. A lighting and location guru, Danny wants people to remember him; to talk about his work long after the wedding day is over, but he is also an open book when it comes to educating fellow photographers on what it takes to be successful. He believes that “you should be trying to find your uniqueness and make people remember you to set yourself apart from a market that is always flooded with competitors.” From starting out at bridal shows to making word of mouth referrals work (one of his strongest marketing strategies) – in this interview Danny talks to us about how he, along with his wife, built a 5-star wedding photography brand from what initially began as a side hustle.
