    SFPP 304: Building A Luxury Brand Grounded In Gratitude, Elevated By Excellence With Chris Evans

    Luxury in photography isn’t just about shooting at castles in Europe or working with high-budget clients—it’s about the way you carry yourself, the experience you create, and the values that anchor your brand. Today’s guest, Chris J. Evans, knows this inside and out. An internationally celebrated wedding and editorial photographer, Chris has photographed over 500 weddings around the world—from Lake Como to Cartagena, Paris to Maui. With roots in fashion photography and a family steeped in art and couture, Chris blends cinematic elegance with deeply personal storytelling.  But what makes Chris stand out is more than just his images—it’s the way he’s built a luxury brand on a foundation of gratitude, calm confidence, and uncompromising excellence. What I love about Chris’s perspective is that it reminds us luxury isn’t about being unapproachable or out of reach, it’s about elevating every part of your craft and client experience while staying rooted in gratitude. It’s about showing up with excellence, creating trust, and making your couples feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

    SFPP 303: How To Know When To Outsource In Your Photography Business With Rick Liston

    If you’ve ever found yourself drowning in editing, emails, or admin work and wondered, “Is this really what I signed up for?”— today’s episode is for you. Rick Liston is the founder and CEO of Wedding Workflows, an outsourcing agency that supports photographers across four continents with a team of over 60 specialists in the Philippines. What makes Rick’s story so powerful is that he’s lived both sides of this journey — first as an overwhelmed wedding photographer trying to do it all, and now as the leader of a global company that helps creatives reclaim their time, energy, and passion. In this conversation, Rick breaks down how to know when you’re ready to outsource, what tasks actually make sense to delegate, and — maybe most importantly — what it’s really costing you not to outsource.

Chris Stiles is a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer who blends his background as a meteorologist with his passion for storytelling. He’s also the co-founder of Lens & Light,one of the few summits that brings together wedding, portrait, and commercial photography education under one roof. In this conversation, Chris shares what photographers should look for when investing in education, how to spot red flags, and how to actually implement what you learn so the event pays off in your business.
