Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Lei Lei Clavey of www.leileiclavey.com is on her way to becoming one of the world's best wedding photographers. She's a Melbourne, Australia-based wedding photographer who entered the market differently than most. She launched right into the luxury market. Invested in her branding and amazing styled shoots before booking real couples. In no time at all, she had made a name for herself as the luxury, editorial wedding photographer and only books up to 20 weddings each year. Take a look at her website or socials; it screams luxury and sits perfectly amongst world-famous fashion labels like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Gucci and Dior. Her Instagram bio states that you can enquire about European wedding dates in 2025. And yes, she's fully booked for 2024. In this interview, Lei Lei shares how to go from zero to hero in the world of high-end luxury weddings.
