Serena began her career in the wedding industry as a catering sales manager. After several years working with venues, she moved into hospitality sales management where she helped train and develop sales leaders for fortune 500 companies. After settling into married & parenting life, she came back to the wedding industry via a publication company with a wedding magazine. During this time, she identified a need for industry professionals to develop and maintain a consistent online presence for today’s couples. She’s a taco-loving, coffee drinking, nap obsessed #boymom (of one) and wife that enjoys hiking, traveling, camping, yoga, flowers, organizing, reading, online shopping, dreaming big and most currently, Orange Theory Fitness. She loves bubbly (champagne, sparkling water and beer) and is always up for an adventure. And she has the world’s biggest sweet tooth and thinks the best part about a wedding, aside from the cake, is the moment a couple locks eyes for the first time from one end of the aisle to the other. She also happens to still cry at every wedding – even the ones she only sees pictures of.
Key Takeaways:
- Stock photos are a great way to supplement your content on social media and blog posts.
- Be sure to add your own caption when you post a stock photo; you can tell a personal story even if you didn’t take the photo!
- When you don’t know what to say in your IG comment, default to education. There can never be enough thought leadership in the wedding industry!
- You cannot just use any photo you find on Google!
- When you license a stock photo you can edit it to match your branding.
