"this stuff transcends money and success; it's life, and it's deeply fulfilling work." wow. i'm a big fan now, you've changed how i view photographs now, thank you.
very well put! I couldn't agree more!
A lot of photographers do weddings as their income whereas their passion is another niche in the photography world that doesn’t bring in $$. Weddings can be a wonderful but it can be a grind. It’s good to see wedding photographs like you who are passionate about wedding photography. I once heard a professional photographer in his web class say wedding photographers aren’t photographers, they are wedding experts with a camera
So sooooo true.
"This stuff transcends money and success guys, it's life and it's deeply fulfilling work, and anyone who says it's unimportant doesn't understand its power. Honestly, if you're in this business I hope that money doesn't even matter to you at the end of the day. More than anything I hope that you care about serving your clients and their families and giving them the greatest intangible gifts they could ever receive, photographs."
Dude... you're the first person I see give a meaningful and thoughtful talk about this. I see people care about the money, settings, and gear. But at the end of the day is about giving irreplaceable photographs. Hits the feels.
Thx for writing it I just screened shot this is definitely deep!
@@reykfoto same here. Thank you and o also screenshotted this. ✌️
Gotta be honest, walked into this a little skeptical because of the $100K thing. But this was incredibly refreshing and good to hear. We need more positive voices like this in our circles!
"Anyone who says it's unimportant, doesn't understand it's power." BOOM. SUBBED.

Excellent video! Glad I took the time to watch it.
To clarify, all of the yearly totals are after all of my expenses, and before my taxes, much like any salary-paying job describes the amount to be paid.
Eric Floberg came here for the money but left with something else... thank you for what you do!
OMG same! I was not expecting to get emotional towards the end. I’ve been struggling to book weddings and this solidifies that I shouldn’t give up and that it’s deeper than the lucrative income I desire. Thank you for this video!
Thanks, Eric for this great video, really appreciate that you share this for other beginner photographers. Much love!!
You're incredible, this really helps alot. I'm currently trying to discover my worth as a photographer trying to make it as a living. I don't know why but I can't help but feel bad when I charge people for my work. Its making it hard for me to move forward.
Nathaniel Killian I feel that. I love photography, and I love the behind the scenes and having fun with people who ask me to do it. I love editing them and love the process of it all. But I’m too scared to ask for what I deserve.
This was perfectly done, you're the man Eric. I shown your work to so many people already, you're extremely talented and grounded. Keep doing your thing fam 💪🏁
Dude great video, gold info in there! Hope everyone took notes!
That barber scene came out really nice! I see what you had in mind now :)
Can't wait for our ultra secret project XY1 to come out!
I love how open you are about your success as a photographer and how you made this happen. Thank you so much, now subscribed:)
My wife and I are shooting our first photo/video wedding today, this video hit us right in the feels. Your passion is evident and that's obvious in the way you speak. Look forward to seeing more of your work! Green Bay WI - Subbed 👊
You’re one of the most genuine and real people on this platform. Keep up the good work brother.
Dude just found your page but you are SO genuine in who you are and it’s inspiring! Not to mention that your work is phenomenal too!! Keep it up and I’m stoked to see other videos from you!!
I love this. When I am tearing up at the mother son dance or laughing along with the maid of honor speech it just fires me up to capture more emotions at more weddings. Please always stay this authentic. It's so refreshing.
Man, this was so powerful. I always try to explain to people why i shoot weddings and why I love what I do but I've never put it as beautifully as this. Well done! I look forward to seeing more of you pursuing your passion
Thanks for the inspiration and reassurance! I'm just starting out as a wedding videographer and it is soo good to hear someone else out there talk about how this work is so much more than the money. Happy to see there are more of us out there. Keep it up dude!
So happy to be subbed and enjoy part of your journey. Thank you for taking the time to share
I've only ever captured very small friends or family weddings due to being so overwhelmed by this side of the photography industry- and because I've only ever wanted it to be a very personal moment for me to capture. But you're the first photographer I've come across that hasn't made it feel entirely daunting or out of reach for me to finally pursue- even if it truly makes me so terrified that their one day lies in my hands to capture... thank you so much for sharing this! SUBBED and bingeing on your series of creative work!
Oh my gosh, where has your channel been hiding all this time?! This was an awesome video and I'm pumped about the rest of the content you have on here as well! Subscribed! I'd love to hear more about your experiencing with wedding videography, because I'm thinking about trying to get into that realm with my freelance videographer work.
You won me over with that Office reference shatatatatataata lolol
Awesome stuff Eric! Great breakdown and love the message at the end. Capturing fleeting moments for our clients is the best feeling in the world. Great to see your tips and advice and I'm excited for the next video!
Wow this was absolutely beautifully said. Thank you for showing everyone how important the wedding photography industry is important and more just snapping a photo! Beautiful.
the last few minutes of this video was so good. One of my favorite few minutes of youtube I've watched in a while. Being a wedding photographer I'm not biased at all :)
Massively inspiring Eric! Love your ethos and attitude. Fair play mate!
Eric. This video is incredible and speaks volumes about who you are and about the work you produce. I've rewatched 11:28 - 12:38 Three (3) full times now - going on 4 - Subbed and tapped the bell before you could even ask. Definitely looking forward to what 2019 has in store for you. Don't stop creating.
So encouraged by your hustle! Definitely love your heart to serve others and make it so special. Definitely taking notes. Thanks for setting the standard on what it looks like to capture quality photos and emotion and build relationships. Keep it up! You've become someone I want to learn more from!
LOVED this video!!! You actually had me in tears towards the end when you spoke about photography being a way to serve people, rather than squeezing the very last penny out of them. Photography is soooo much more than just an income and unfortunately photographers that chase cash, take away the respect of photography as a profession. You explained that sooo beautifully! This video was very helpful and inspiring. Thank you!
I was moved when you made that connection at that personal level and to how this is about peoples lives. It kind of made me reconnect for a moment with something I feel I've nearly forgotten in the midst of it all. Appreciate you man. I see why your clients say those things. Earned my sub!
I got so emotional watching the pictures at the end, you captured priceless moments...literally cryingggg
BRRROOOO I seriously appreciate this video. It’s sooooo good. I’m currently in your “2016” and am about 1 year out from quitting my day job. Everything you said in this video is beyond true and I love that you really honed in on how you really have to care about your couples and care about their wedding. It’s really the only way to do this work. You have amazing work. You’re deff on my list of inspirations now. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍
YES! You're right there, man. Thanks so much for watching.
Nice and clear speech. My favorite part, the last one with the wise and emotional words. Congratulations! Everyone who connects harmonically with his purpose deserves success in life. You own a new follower.
Dude! This was so dope. Thanks for taking the time to put all this together and share with everyone!
Oh wow, this gave me shivers! You are 100% in the right business, so much heart and so much passion! Thanks for the tips and tricks and thanks for the transparency and honesty! The ending just took my breath away 🥰
This video really resonates with me. Being also from Chicago and seeing the human connection inside portraits more than caring about the money just speaks to me and my ideas. Thank you for this. I clicked on the video for one reason and received so much more from it. Hopefully one day our paths will cross in this crazy business. Thanks again Eric!
Amazing video! I love the honesty throughout the video, and love your voice and expressions on camera!
goals oh my gosh, this is the first video i watch of yours but i'm subscribing and can't wait to watch all your videos
one of the best videos I have ever watched on youtube. your passion, just inspiring. You truly, truly get photography
That photo montage with the music and the stories you led up to with it gives all the feels. So good Floberg. Thank you for your creativity, inspiration, and transparency. ✌️
This is most inspiring video I've ever watched about wedding photography. Thank you so much for the awesome content Eric! Keep up the great work
We just started watching your videos & are SO on board with your community over competition!! Glad we found you. Keep up the hard work!!
Man, I really enjoy your authenticity in these videos. I just started in photography and find it hard to find photographers who are real about the business. Thank you for what you do!
This video alone is so motivational and heartwarming. Subbed.
Authentic, emotional, informative, down to earth and sincere. You have the right recipe to capture the important and beautiful moments in anyone's special day/event. Thank you for Sharing Eric. I'm just starting out but I have been getting so much from your channel. I hope this year is massive for you.
That slide show really shows the reasons why photography is so special and like u said intangeable. It was so emothional and made me tear up
This video is super stunning. Touching, informative and at the same time entertaining. I really do hope you share more this year haha
What a video! The song, the pictures you selected towards the end of the video, and your choice of words, everything was so perfect it almost brought tears to my eyes!
Bro you're extremely good at what you do.
Bro. You've just inspired me to keep pushing even harder than before. Staying focused on the vision and going all in. Thanks!
Love your humor, love your attitude, and love the up front community and client vibe man. Keep it up, subbed and can't wait to check out some of your other videos next!
By far the best video I’ve seen when it comes to this particular subject! Loved it!!!
Great video. Thanks for putting it all out there. It's good to see someone who's really into what they're doing.
Hey Eric! This video popped up on my recommended and I'm so happy it did. I just wanted to pass by and thank you for being so transparent in this video. I'm a filmmaker based in Cairo, Egypt and I don't even do anything wedding related but still watched all the way through because I feel like we share the same passion for a craft and always want to share and help people grow themselves. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next videos! :)
Man, that means a whole lot, Youssef! Thanks so much for watching!
ok this was an amazing video, well done sir! i was crying by the end :,)
I got teared up towards the end.. Photography is so,so incredible and impactful. The thought of being able to capture a moment and turn it into a memory that will last forever - is incredible.
This inspired me so much to work harder at turning my passion for photography into a business, which I would gladly pursue full-time.
Thank you Eric.
I wish I could like this over and over. What a great message, amazing photos, and such a great video. Keep up the great work!
This was a really great vlog. I love the point you made about people chasing money. The point you made really made sense, about taking care of your clients and making them feel valued.
Beautiful video man! Love that you incorporate "life" to your business. Also, you're doing great job with those pictures! They are soooo good. 👏🏼👏🏼
Keep this up, the title brought me here but the amount of creativity, thought, and personality is making me stay here.
Community before competition. That is truly the best route. I'm nowhere near this level of business but I really value so many of the bits of knowledge spread throughout! Definitely a video to look back on often when I feel stuck in my passion. Thank you so much!
Loved the message, thanks for the video. Shot my first wedding a week ago, and it left me pumped. Can't wait for the next one to get here!
Thank you so much Eric! Very inspiring.
Great video! It's great to hear that you're doing so well with what you love to do!
Thanks, man!
Finally a great RUclipsr! Bring more values to our life, thankyou Eric!
Loved the message at the end man
Nice one, wedding photography is about relationship that is the goal in our business, thanks for the remind me to keep going
Keep it up dude! Proud of ya!
the ending is just beautiful thank you so much for sharing and giving me inspiration
Soooo freaking good. 😍 You are honestly my #1 inspiration right now. Love your love for your clients and how that just translates into your work. Soooooooo good! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! This is such solid advice for anyone who shoots or is thinking of beginning to shoot weddings. As always love your work Eric! Keep leaning into what makes you different 😄
You're the best, Sam.
Wow wow wow. One of the best videos I’ve seen on this topic. Raw, honest, and spot on. It’s so important to be passionate about shooting weddings.
This video was so much deeper than I thought it would be. Thank you for sharing your experience. You’re an amazing photographer . Just followed and subscribed!
I’m thrilled that you emphasized the emotional aspect of your impact on people’s lives. Not many other wedding ‘togs talk about that. The only wedding I solo-shot impacted me the same way. I formed a long-lasting friendship with “my couple” and am shooting their new baby this week. Thanks!
thanks man i never really considered weddings, but seeing this plus a great wedding video you shot makes me realize how fulfilling it can be!
Thank you Eric for sharing your tips. I too was a teacher and have fallen in love with videography. I am entering the wedding market soon and your valuable information helps a great deal. I also liked the moving stories you shared. Good stuff.
Eric, I don’t even have to look at your instagram after watching this video. This clearly shows the passion and devotion you’ve had into this industry and business you have built. I am beyond words after watching this video. Not based on your numbers, and quite honestly not even based on your tips and tricks, simply based on the fact why you do what it is that you do. This was by far the most motivating and inspiring video I have seen within the industry. I will definitely be following you and your adventures this year much closer in great detail. Thank you Eric.
Thank you for being so open and sharing. Huge help in someone creating a new and 2nd career!!!!
not only was this informative it was super entertaining, you're really cool!! im starting off my wedding photog business in berlin right now!
Eric. You’re the real deal sir. I was hooked. Such a great video. Alfie from Toronto 🇨🇦
From the 10:00 mark onward was honestly my favorite part of this video and that alone earned a sub from me. I'm about to dive into the rest of your channel and can't wait to see what else you have in store in the future!
Thanks for making this. It encourages me to continue pursuing this as a career. Currently doing this as a side job and working as a Math teacher, but I'm loving this field more and more. Thanks for this, that ending is beautiful man!
Literally this video was so well put together and everything :)
Thank you for this
Appreciate you bro! Love the content keep it coming for us up and coming learning photographers!
Love your video Eric! You're a rockstar! I wish you continued and growing success!
New to the channel but stoked to stay. Amazing mission and vision Eric! Cheers
Love the vibe man. Great work. And the photographs at the end... Right on spot
I don't even wanna be a photographer, but the thumbnail was cool, and I subbed bc your content is really interesting and entertaining. Btw I liked the earthy tones in this vid
Fantastic philosophy Eric! Exactly the goals we believe in too. Subscribed and look forward to more...and leaning into what makes us different!
Dude, I really wanna say thanks for sharing this. I left a high paying job last year to pursue my dream of being a full time photographer. My photography mentor/friend moved to Germany before I left the job. I became lazy and did very little self promotion and lost sight of the reason I wanted to follow my dreams in the first places BUT this video was something I needed to see to remind me that making those numbers ARE POSSIBLE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. It’s amazing what memories a photo can hold and you showed and reminded me of that with the outro of images.
I love this so much. I am currently struggling on how should I continue my photography side hustle (I have a full time work and doing photography only on weekends) and your words really hit me. Will start organizing and building my photography business little by little. I love your work! 💖✨
Great, genuine insight. Good watch man. All the best!
A much needed jolt of inspiration in the midst of a...at times... monotonous industry where you are still challenged to care more about money than your clients. I listened between the lines and I got what I needed to hear. Thanks man!
You're one of the best photographers I've ever seen, thank u for being my inspiration
Man, this video was so good. Stumbled upon it but your vibe and your style, it's exactly what I wish mine was. Thanks for the inspiration, definitely earned a new fan!! Keep making videos and you'll blow up dude.
I've been doing photography for while now using my canon t5i (my first dslr) I make no money yet because I'm still a shs student and I just enjoyed taking photographs of my friends and enjoying every moment with them and turning that moment into a memory. I just love documenting stuff, I am an introverted person really shy to socialize with others and when I just keep doing what I love which is taking photos, I made friends and they helped me to socialize and feel comfortable doing it
I just watched two of your films and I'm literally in tears! If I were to talk right now no one would understand what I was saying. lol beautiful artwork Eric! Inspiring!
Your set is simple and so amazing! Seriously amazing!
Subscribed ! That was good at the end. Right through centre of the heart. I love taking pics of people emotions. Got to get out of my comfort zone.
Wow man.. That was straight from the heart! Thanks for the great vidéo, you inspire me a lot
This is probably the best video I've seen, anywhere.
I love you :P
Amazing job evoking emotion! I look forward to see more of your content! :)
Eric. I am a wedding videographer and I have been doing it for 2 years now. This is probably the most useful/informative video I have ever seen. Thank you for this!
