  • In this episode of the Unexpected Entrepreneur podcast, Jessie and Aimee discuss the journey of rebranding Aimee's photography business, Please Don't Blink. We talk about the importance of unique branding in the crowded wedding photography market and the insights gained from the rebranding process.

    My name is Aimee, and I live in Central Pa. I am a big fan of our 4 distinct seasons, the woods, and having my family close by.

    As a lover of Love, adventure, and the outdoors, I feel like I hit the career Jackpot being able to photograph elopements and intimate weddings. I get to document the coolest couples, doing the activities they love, in epic locations, while they say I DO. Is there anything better?

    Coming from a photojournalism background, my strength as a photographer comes in anticipating moments and capturing them. I am also the ultimate cheerleader. I want your wedding day to be as amazing as you are!

    When I am not photographing weddings, you will probably find me running trails (I have actually run a couple 50 milers), paddle boarding, cross country skiing, drinking coffee, growing killer veggies, or snuggling with my cat Steve.
