[Vendor Feature #16] : Eggs Benedict Chan

DELEGATE: Tell us more about yourself

I like eggs and my name is Ben. Five is the number of times I’ve actually had EggsBenedict in my life.

D: How did you get the idea or concept for your business?

Honestly, I didn’t wake up one day and decide that I was gonna be a wedding photographer. But I’ve always enjoyed taking photographs of people and one fine day (years back) I had the opportunity to shoot a church wedding alongside a buddy and then “BOOM! SHOOTING WEDDINGS IS FUN! THIS IS IT!”

D: What is your vision/mission for your company?

To keep using pictures to tell honest and real stories of my couples.

D: How did you start it? What were some adversities you faced when starting it?

Initially, I was shooting for another studio but I came out on my own a few years ago.

It’s definitely difficult when you are new. And well, people around would think you’re just a bum pressing buttons for cash, of course you don’t get much encouragement from that.

D: What is something we might not know about the industry you’re in?

It is not just about clicking a button ,haha!

D: What has been the most memorable experience for you so far in running your business?

I guess its when my couples and I become friends after their respective weddings. We grow from clients to friends starting from witnessing their big day, seeing them bask in all the anxiety and joy, following up to the times when we would just hang out. These are just some memorable experiences that I’ve appreciated throughout the years.

D: How do you define success? Who do you see as successful?

Success to me is when I see my couples stoked to receive their images. It’s always awesome to hear that an event or moment they missed during their big day has been captured and they can look back on it in years to come.

D: Which habits of yours have gotten you to where you are today?

Probably not leaving home without a camera.

D: What is one thing you would like your customers to know about your company?

Sorry guys, I can’t do flying veil shots.

D: If you could give advice to fellow and budding entrepreneurs, what wold it be?

Have fun and explore your style and directions.
