Keeping the Peace
With 20 years in the photography industry and a background in business, Curtis Copeland puts a lot of effort into building a relationship with his clients before their big day. “We like to sit down with our clients and find out what their expectations are.” An initial meeting can take up to two hours. Copeland says he works with many affluent clients, mostly around south Florida, who don’t want to be told what to do. They want the photographer to be unobtrusive while capturing their moment, he says.
