NW Creatives

Several years ago, I got a cold email from a freelance videographer looking to get some second shooting gigs. I replied to him the same way I reply to every email like that, saying, “I don’t have anything for you at the moment, but I’d be happy to meet up for coffee if you ever want to talk shop. Maybe something will come up down the road.”

It’s important to note that I find myself in email exchanges like this almost on a weekly basis. But since we’re very careful about who we bring on our weddings, I would never offer a gig to someone without meeting them first.

So, I NEVER reply with a gig, but I ALWAYS reply with an offer to meet.

Only once has anyone taken me up on that offer. And that person was Scott.

Fast forward to now, I’ve lost count of how many weddings Scott has worked with NW Creatives, as a second shooter and a lead. In six years, it has to be getting close to a hundred.

Undoubtedly, our work has improved because of him.

Without meaning to, he weaseled his way into becoming an integral part of this little business, all starting with one email.

Anyway, thanks to , we finally got this good team photo so I figured it’d be a good excuse to share this bromantic letter.

Cheers, friend 🍻
