Erin Hession-Wooton
What
is your title and position at your current company? Owner of Erin
Hession Photography in Carmel, Indiana.
What does your company do? How is it different
than others like it? We specialize in fun, artistic wedding photography
and we truly go above and beyond for every client. For
example, we provide vendor recommendations and custom photo
schedules to our clients, we bring an emergency kit with
us on the day of the event in case of any mishaps, we provide
cold bottled waters for our bride & groom during their
photo sessions and we even print a folio of images at the
reception, which they can take with them on their honeymoon!
How many years have you been in the industry? 17 years
What
was your very first job? My passion has always been photography;
I actually photographed my first wedding at
the age of 14! I built my portfolio and website while studying
photography, art & marketing throughout high school
and college. By the time I graduated college, I had built
a successful full-time photography company!
What lead you in into the event industry? I love photographing
people in love, so weddings were a natural choice!
Why
did you decide to join ISES? I enjoy networking with
other event professionals and following the trends in our
industry.
What
is your most memorable event? Why? Earlier this year,
I had the opportunity to photograph a 5K event for one
of our past clients who is suffering from cystic fibrosis.
Despite her illness, double pneumonia and 50% lung capacity
that day, she crossed the finish line with her walker and
dropped to her knees thanking God for the chance to be
an athlete for a day. I felt so honored to be there to
capture all of those emotions for her and it was one of
those moments that make you remember how important our
jobs are as photographers. She and her family will have
those photos from one of her greatest accomplishments forever.
What’s one thing most people don’t know about
you? My husband and I actually went to daycare together!
We reconnected in high school and got married after college.
We’ve been happily married for over 8 years now
and he’s amazing husband, web developer and photographer.
If you were not in the event industry, what would
be your dream job? I can’t imagine not being in the
event industry, I feel like I’m lucky to have found
my dream job already!
