What is Head & Heart Photography?
Head & Heart Photography is an invite only, locally focused and limited membership collective of California based photographers. The primary role H&H plays for its member photographers is to source and deliver as many high quality leads as possible, from as many sources as possible, as well handling all contracting, payments, creation and maintenance of hosting hosting galleries. The Head & Heart Photography Collective consists of photographers/videographers who are vetted, selected and invited to apply. Head & Heart Photography provides responsive and attentive personal service and attention to each couple and client booked with as much emphasis on the photography experience as on the resulting photographic and video work created.
DON’T PAY FOR LISTINGS THAT DON’T GENERATE QUALITY LEADS
The most well-known wedding sites charge premium rates to be listed alongside hundreds of other photographers – just to be listed.
These sites, blogs and directories can charge anywhere from $70/mo. to $600/mo and more – just to be listed.
But that’s all they are – directory sites. Their purpose is to inform couples of their options, NOT to send you quality leads.
In my 10 years as a photographer, regardless of which tier I’ve paid for, I’ve probably booked fewer than 5 leads from any these listings.

DO PAY FOR A SERVICE THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF & MUCH MORE
H&H member photographer annual fees are often covered within the first 1-2 bookings, depending on the type of shoot.
In it’s first full-year of operation H&H Santa Barbara booked over 30 weddings, elopements, sessions & events for three photographers.
H&H member photographer positions are capped at a low number to ensure that there is a high lead to photographer ratio.
Head & Heart Photography | For Photographers
Head & Heart Photography is like a cross between a trusted local photography studio and your very own booking expert & liaison. While Head & Heart provides couples, families and individuals with all the support and information necessary to make an informed and confident decision when booking their photographer, we also do the same thing for our member photographers.
One of the things that makes us different from other photography companies is that we also work just as diligently on behalf of our member photographers, focusing on connecting them with couples and clients who understand the value of high quality photography, and who understand that a higher price doesn’t always equal a higher quality experience or image set.
My goal for all member photographers is for them to receive so many qualified leads that they have to start turning them down. And because being a part of Head & Heart requires a paid membership and an annual (though flexible) contract, we allow the amount of demand in a given area to dictate the number of positions we create in that area. This way we can guarantee that a member photographer’s investment is covered and exceeded within the first 2-3 bookings depending on the type of events/sessions photographed.
