Luxury clients don’t fall from the sky—they’re built through connection, consistency, and knowing how to show up in the right rooms. ✨

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Alyssa Lizarraga, a photographer who has mastered the art of networking and creating authentic connections that lead to high-end bookings. If you’ve ever wondered how to break into the luxury market, this conversation is packed with gold nuggets you can put into action right away.

Here’s what we dive into:

  • How Alyssa worked her way into the luxury space (and what photographers often overlook).

  • The role networking plays in building real relationships with planners, vendors, and clients.

  • What high-end planners and clients are actually looking for when hiring photographers.

  • Tangible ways to show up and be remembered in luxury circles.

  • Alyssa’s best tips for cultivating long-term, referral-driven connections.

Whether you’re dreaming of booking $8k+ weddings or simply want to elevate the level of clients you attract, this episode will give you the roadmap!!
