Tom and Mario Muñoz, the fourth-generation power duo behind Muñoz Photography in South Florida, know what it takes to win in the luxury wedding space. In this behind-the-scenes webinar, they break down their playbook for turning timeless portraits into high-profit sales and creating an unforgettable client experience from first consult to final album.
Whether you’re an established wedding photographer or aiming to break into the high-end market, this webinar gives you a practical, replicable strategy.
Crafting an Expierence that Sells:
What sets Muñoz Photography apart isn’t just the imagery, it’s the experience behind the photo. From day one, the Muñoz team focuses on creating a consultative, service-first relationship with their clients. Their approach starts with:
- A simple, time-based booking structure (no packages)
- A follow-up “discovery consultation” that introduces high-margin products
- Clear onboarding for clients with dedicated concierge support
By shifting the product conversation away from the initial sales call and focusing first on connection, they reduce sticker shock and build value before any upsell.
A La Carte Pricing that Works:
Instead of selling packages, Tom and Mario book events based on hourly rates, starting at $750/hour. This lowers the barrier to entry while allowing total flexibility. The real profit comes later from albums, wall art, parent add-ons, and reprints.
Key points:
- All initial coverage includes time only and digital files
- Albums, upgrades, and additional products are introduced post-booking
- Clients receive incentives like 20% off pre-ordered albums and sneak peek delivery options
- On average, their clients spend an additional $8,500 after the event
Consistency in Lighting= Higher Perceived Value
The Muñoz team prioritizes continuous lighting for both photography and cinematography, creating a cohesive, polished final product. Using The Level Up System and Nanlite gear, they simulate soft, natural window light in any environment, tight hotel rooms included.
Advantages:
-
- Seamless photo and video integration
- Minimal setup with maximum visual impact
- Real-time light control and consistent color temperature
- Works beautifully for behind-the-scenes content and quick edits
Creating Lifelong Clients
The Muñoz model is built to scale. After the wedding, they stay in their clients’ lives photographing babies, family portraits, school portraits, and events. It’s a business ecosystem fueled by strong relationships and repeat service.
What helps them stand out:
- Professional presentation and attire at every job
- Custom onboarding videos and client education touchpoints
- Data capture tools like Spot My Photos to gather guest contact info for future marketing
- End-of-year revenue campaigns like file reactivation and album reinstatements
One simple campaign, offering to “reactivate” expired image galleries before deletion, generated $150K in pure profit in Q4.
Takeaways that Drive Growth
If you’re serious about selling high-end bridal portraits, these are your next steps:
- Focus on quality over discounting
- Lead with service, then layer in product sales
- Create lighting consistency with the right tools
- Make every client touchpoint intentional and branded
- Build systems that encourage repeat clients and referrals
