Introduction

In the first two quarters of 2024 at Royal Photos we have witnessed record numbers, one of our highest earning months, and many many many unique love stories – love stories we’ve been given the privilege of documenting!

As you may know, I moved out to Missouri in March of 2023, and not long after got sick (which lasted for several months). Coming out of recovery from this in January this year, I really haven’t had the chance to get out in the community, to make myself known, beyond what I could do behind a computer screen. I even learned recently that more than 85% of my online follower base still comes from my connection to North Carolina.

Fast forward to now, I’m still working through some minor health things, but I’m feeling so much better!

A Few Stats & Facts

For those of you out there who consider themselves a numbers “guy” (or “girl”), like me, lets dive in to some brief stats and facts from Q1 & Q2 here at Royal Photos:

  • Booked our highest paying wedding to date at just around $4k for 10 hours of coverage and several personalized add-on options!
  • Served clients in 7 different states – including my home state of North Carolina.
  • April: Best month in bookings since opening – sent out over $11k in invoices.
  • April: Highest earning month at around $5-6k in revenue.
  • 4,625 miles driven to serve clients all over the United States!
  • Photographed our first surprise proposal!
  • Covered our first event at Union Station in St Louis.
  • Hosted our first ever mini sessions!
  • Photographed our first hotel through our commercial photography brand!

…and the list could go on.

Conclusion

We’ve seen a lot of firsts this year, and made our fair share of mistakes, but I couldn’t be more excited for the trajectory of this business and our journey!

Brendan, Owner and Lead Photographer at Royal Photos
