Staci Brucks has one of the wildest stories we’ve shared on this podcast. Just five years ago she was working in cardiac rehab. Today she’s a fast-rising wedding photographer with over 150K followers, a thriving business, and an authentic approach that has made her stand out in the industry. In this episode, Jared and I talk with Staci about how she built her career from the ground up, what she’s learned about destination weddings and travel, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how she uses simple behind-the-scenes marketing (yes, even Meta glasses) to connect with clients in ways that feel real.
