Initially hired by a friend to step in for a wedding photographer who had dishonestly sold their services using someone else's portfolio, Sam Meggs found himself thrust into a genre he had no prior experience of. What began as a one-off favour became a defining creative moment. Over a decade later from that day, Sam now runs a successful business in Ontario, a popular Canadian go-to destination for couples. We talk about that initial start, how his new photographic career blossomed and why working in your community alongside and with your competitors is a strong business decision. The show starts with a story of why signature images are your strongest USP, plus last week's guest Rahul Khona shares his Story of the Completely Unexpected.
