Building a Sustainable Photography Business in 2026 with Summer Grace
In this episode of Perspective, we’re joined by Summer Grace, wedding photographer, educator, and founder of Summer School to talk about keeping photography fun, building a sustainable creative business, and using marketing with intention. Summer shares her journey from elopements to multi-day weddings, how she pivoted markets (including a move to LA), diversified her income streams, and why confidence and creative play are key to long-term success in the wedding industry. A must-listen for wedding photographers and filmmakers navigating growth, burnout, and business evolution.
