Joining Andy in this episode of The Wedding Biz is not one but two guests – Gina Esposito and Sheena Meekins! Gina and Sheena are best friends turned business partners who are the owners and principal photographers of Anée Atelier, a wedding photography business based out of New York City. They are listed in Brides as being one of the best wedding photographers in the United States and are also listed in Harper's Bazaar as one of the top wedding photographers worldwide! Andy actually had the pleasure of meeting both Gina and Sheena in person when he produced the music for Daniela Braga's wedding, at Amanera in the Dominican Republic and they handled the photography for it. Today, they chat about various things like how they each developed their love for photography and their prior experience in photography prior to meeting and forming Anée Atelier. They also reflect on their friendship prior to partnering in 2016 and how their friendship led to the business partnership, how photography is a method of storytelling and how the story needs to be told via the client's perspective, what their collaborative process usually looks like, how they respond to and handle pressure, what their hopes and goals are for the future, and so more! Andy really appreciates Gina and Sheena taking the time to talk with him about their business and careers as wedding photographers, and hopes to have another opportunity to meet them again in person in the future! Be sure to visit their website and their Instagram page, and also be sure to share this interview with at least three good friends and/or colleagues who might benefit from and/or enjoy it and to leave a top review of the podcast wherever you listen! Have you heard about  Stop and Smell the Roses with Preston Bailey on The Wedding Biz Network? Listen as Preston shares the secrets, tools, and technologies behind his extraordinary ability to create a theatrical environment out of any space. Also, don't forget about Sean Low's podcast  The Business of Being Creative, where Sean discusses the power of being niched, pricing strategies, metrics of success, and so much more.

402 GINA ESPOSITO AND SHEENA MEEKINS: Partners In Photography

Anée Atelier is a New York City photography boutique led by best friend duo, Gina Esposito and Sheena Meekins. While, Gina is an accomplished photographer with more than 16 years experience capturing weddings throughout Manhattan, the Hamptons and destinations as far as Dubai; Sheena is a seasoned creative who co-founded Anée Atelier following an esteemed, eight-year career in publishing, with magazines including Teen Vogue, People, StyleWatch and Essence.  Gina and Sheena open up about the creation of their business after Gina was feeling worn out from too many years on her own, and Sheena was growing tired of an industry that was so corporate and had wanted to embark on something more meaningful.  They both discuss things they’ve overcome and what it took for them to get to where they are now.  Gina talks about her struggle with anxiety and Sheena talks about how her family life inspires her. Sheena explains how her obstacles pale in comparison to her father's who has worked so hard to provide for her and her family despite having lived through segregation, oppression, and marginalization.   You can find out more about Anée Atelier via their website (https://www.aneeatelier.com) or Instagram(https://www.instagram.com/aneeatelier/).
