We had the good fortune of connecting with John Moler and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi John, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I really wanted to be in charge of myself. Growing up my father ran his own business and I always admired that and wanted to eventually do the same.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I think what most sets me apart from others is always staying calm and collected under pressure. Wedding days can be very hectic and often times are not exactly on schedule.

The biggest challenge I faced was developing my own artistic style. With social media it is easy to look to others when you are first starting out. The best thing you can do is just to be yourself and create the art that you want to. Not what others are doing.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My friends and I are big sports fans so we would definitely catch some sort of sporting event. Most likely a Rockies or Nuggets game and have a few beers.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My wife Monica. Without her encouragement and support I don’t know if I would be where I am today. Also all the other photographers that I have been able to work with and learn from along the way.
