Welcome back to the EPIC Podcast (Elopement Photographer Inspiration Compass), the go-to place where destination and adventure elopement photographers come to get inspired, connect, and keep learning new tips to grow their elopement photography business.
I’m your host, Sheryl Anne, a destination elopement photographer, Navy veteran, proud mama, and adventure seeker passionate about capturing epic love stories in breathtaking locations.
In our very first episode, I shared the heart behind why I started this podcast. Today’s episode digs deeper into my personal story and the path that led me into the world of adventure elopement photography.
We recorded this episode on location at Mount Rainier National Park, a meaningful spot where I photographed my very first adventure elopement and fell in love with destination wedding photography.
Joining me on this windy hike is my best friend and Navy sister, Mikayla, who asks all the questions you’d probably want to know.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How my Filipino roots and family culture shaped my lifelong love for photography
My transition from Navy ROTC scholarship recipient to a surface warfare officer, balancing military life with a photography business
The pivotal adventure elopement at Mount Rainier National Park that defined my creative calling
Overcoming cultural pressures as a first-generation Filipino-American pursuing a creative career path
Facing and overcoming professional challenges including burnout, loss, and rebuilding my business
What life looks like now as a thriving full-time destination photographer, mom, and adventure chaser
Reminder:
Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Whether you are juggling a full-time job, navigating family expectations, or starting over after setbacks, YOU are exactly where you need to be.
Stay tuned. Stay inspired. Stay EPIC.
