Are you relying too much on Instagram and wondering how to build a more sustainable, relationship-driven business? In this episode of the Take Your Shot Podcast, I chat with renowned wedding photographer Liz Banfield about the power of relationships, long-term strategy, and showing up offline to build a business that lasts.

Liz has been a wedding and editorial photographer for over 25 years, with features in top publications like Martha Stewart Weddings, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar. In our conversation, she shares how nurturing connections—both in-person and online—has fueled her career. She opens up about her early days in advertising, what helped her stand out in the wedding industry, and her approach to long-term success in a fast-changing world.

Whether you’re new to wedding photography or ready to level up your brand, you’ll walk away from this episode with tangible ways to get in the room, build your network, and position yourself for high-end visibility.
