How? |
On October 6th, 2018, my wedding video business, Orphonic Weddings, shot its very last wedding video. A week later, I did my last wedding photograph gig. It was a few years coming. I had been a stay-at-home dad for my then 3-year-old daughter, and I just couldn't juggle any more wedding seasons with raising a toddler. Some folks can, and hats off to them, but I can't. In 2019, my wife and I had another daughter, and the adventure of raising a newborn started all over.
What I was able to do from home was write three published books, which taught me a lot about the industry. I also started learning more about audio engineering from hosting a podcast, assisting other podcasters with technical needs, and then most recently in 2020 I started recording musicians, which has been my newest obsession. That interest as been a long, slow development ever since I started recording my first album of original songs in 1998. But now (starting this fall of 2023) both of my kids will be in school, which means I'll have a solid 20 hours a week to maybe earn a few bucks. I'll take everything I learned from running a photo/video business for 8 years, and combine that with my knowledge of writing, recording, and publishing, and offer up my services to help anyone in any way I can. But no more weddings. 😅 |
