Thank you for this great intro and I’m looking forward to learn more details in the future videos! Here’s one of my biggest concerns regarding sales tax: with many of us shooting outside of our home state, how should we approach sales tax for each of those states or even destination weddings in foreign countries? My guess is that we need to get help from the accountant every time we deal with a new state, new country, having to set up a way to pay those sales taxes or VAT. It may be quite complicated for just one accountant and these accounting fees may pile up – initially we might not even consider this expense when we get that new exciting booking for a destination wedding and later we discover that accounting fees lowered or maybe even eliminated any profit we expected from that booking. This leads me to the next issue of the income tax. If we frequently shoot in neighboring states, shouldn’t we register our business in each of those states as well and then pay income tax? I’ve heard that some states may also have tax laws that in effect hit you with a double taxation (paying taxes in your resident state and non-resident state). This is where we need our accountant to help us out, even though it will cost a pretty penny. I’d love to see a series or at least worksheets dedicated to these tax issues individually tailored for each state.

I struggle with my name, I named my buisness DeAnda Photography, I was married at the time,
but have no children and we have since divorced last year, I do plan on getting remarried and will be changing my last name since that is important to me. I have built up my buisness and have pretty decent SEO, Would be it be wrong of me to keep “DeAnda Photography” Even if in the next 3 years, DeAnda is no longer in my name, is that confusing? Im so torn….
