Your work is beautiful — but in today’s world, it’s not enough.

In this episode, Ben Hartley and Noella Andre sit down with powerhouse husband-and-wife duo Lilly and Vic of Lilly Red to talk about the real secret to standing out in the wedding industry: building a personal brand and using social media with intention.

From Lake Como to San Francisco and back again, Lilly and Vic share their journey of creating a magnetic brand rooted in fashion, emotion, and experience — and how photographers can stop hiding and start showing up online in a way that actually converts.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your Instagram grid isn’t your brand — and what is
  • How to define your personal brand pillars (and use them to attract aligned clients)
  • Practical tips for showing up on social media — even if you don’t want to be on camera
  • The formula Lilly & Vic use for high-performing Reels
  • Why luxury clients aren’t just looking for perfection — they’re craving personality

Whether you’re posting every day or totally overwhelmed by social, this conversation will help you stop overthinking, gain clarity, and create content that works.

Born and raised surrounded by the golden oceans of Ohio's corn fields, homeschooled till it wasn't cool — I grew my first million dollar business in the garage of our studio apartment. The Podcast brings you all the experiences I learned along the way...minus the cornfields and living room education.
