Eric Ronald of www.ericronald.net is an Aussie-based wedding photographer. Not just any wedding photographer, though — his work cuts through the noise and stands out as something special.
He jumped into film school after completing high school and learnt the skills to become a cinematographer. But things in that world weren't what he imagined. He found his way onto television and worked on shows including Deal or No Deal, Dancing with Stars, Australia's Got Talent and many others.
Ten years later, he quit TV, bought a camera and travelled for a year.
From there, a love of photography was born, and he found his way into wedding photography, where he's been able to create dramatic and emotive stories for his couples ever since. Once you see his work, it's no wonder he's been so highly awarded for his wedding albums.
In this interview, Eric shares exactly how to run a profitable and successful wedding photography business by correctly structuring your prices and delivering an incredible experience. Plus, how to quickly design and sell wedding albums today.
Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes or Google reviews, and it's always a buzz to receive these… for several reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes and Google are the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts, and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and, ultimately, a better show.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you! If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes or https://photobizx.com/google, and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show, and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.

You don't need fancy destinations to make beautiful photos. You could hypothetically create the greatest wedding photograph ever made in the burbs, in Melbourne. There is no reason that is impossible. – Eric Ronald
Another great way to get a backlink to your site is to send a video testimonial. It doesn't need to be fancy, and your phone will be perfect. Click record and tell me how PhotoBizX has impacted you and your photography business.

★★★★★ It’s like I’ve discovered a whole new world! Simply brilliant!
Via Google Reviews by Scania family, children and newborn photographer Agnieszka Tünnissen, in Sweden on January 6, 2023.
So I took a few minutes one morning to investigate that PhotoBizX website. Just to get some value for the money I just paid, I thought. I was ready to cancel at the end of this month, but then I started listening to the interviews (finally!)…That was three days ago or so, but I’m hooked!
Now I only need a parallel life for all this. It’s like I’ve discovered a whole new world! Simply brilliant!

Thank you!
Thanks again for listening, and thanks to Eric for sharing his thoughts, ideas and advice on how to run a successful and profitable wedding photography business and how to easily design and sell wedding albums today.
Good design, I feel like, should be about celebrating the photography rather than being about the design itself. – Eric Ronald
