In It For Love
E1: In It For Love with Marcus Bell
Marcus is one of the most awarded wedding photographers in the world. But his awards don't define him as a human being or photographer. He is one of the most humble humans I know.
He has been one of my personal idols for nearly two decades. He was the first person I reached out to 16 years ago before I launched my business Lovebird Weddings, and so it felt so right to have Marcus as my first guest speaker. It's an absolute honour to call Marcus my colleague and friend.
At the very heart of Marcus' success is his passion to capture the moments that many of us may take forgranted. Marcus lost his father at the age of 16, and now channels his own experience, to capture love and those important moments with such wisdom and care.
He is a storyteller at heart, and in this very first podcast, he encapsulates all that I love about the wedding industry...that we are In It For Love. Without the passion within us, its very difficult to make it in the wedding industry. And he shares this so succinctly in this very candid and enlightening interview.
In this episode we hear about:
- his mentors and why this was an important beginning to his career
- why love inspires him
- how he ended up in Pantano, Brazil shooting with a Pulitzer Prize winner and a National Geographic photographer - what he calls accidental accidents
- and how he "just says yes to everything"
- what he realised he had missed out on when covid struck
- what's on the agenda for Marcus Bell in the coming years
