You hear the phrase tossed around all the time, “go the extra mile.” That’s what this episode with Deanna of Harrison Films reminds us. In an industry where so many creatives are trying to scale quickly or stand out through aesthetics alone, Deanna and Grant have built a business grounded in intentional growth, attention to detail, and high-touch client experience.
Their story is one of brick by brick growth. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just consistency, craftsmanship, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes effort most people never see.
Are you showing up for your business when it feels like no one is watching? If not, this is your sign to start.
Seven years in, they’ve created a brand that feels both refined and personal, and it didn’t happen overnight. It happened because they’ve been steadily going the extra mile with every wedding. It’s a powerful reminder that you don’t need to be the loudest or trendiest in the room to succeed. You just need to do the work and communicate your value clearly.
Another thread throughout this conversation was how seriously Deanna takes collaboration. She’s not just showing up on the wedding day and figuring it out—she’s in communication with photographers ahead of time, scouting the location a day early, and pre-producing moments that feel seamless and intentional.
That’s what it means to go the extra mile—not because anyone’s watching, but because that level of care creates luxury.It’s also what leads to referrals, strong vendor relationships, and high-value bookings. When you treat the creative process like an experience—one that begins way before the cameras roll—you build a reputation that planners and clients talk about.
And it’s this kind of work (the unglamorous, often invisible effort) that separates good businesses from great ones.
The truth is, success at the luxury level isn’t reserved for the lucky few. It’s built by creatives who are willing to get clear on what they stand for, refine their process, and consistently show up like the expert they already are.
