We were lucky to catch up with Steven & Nicole Cole recently and have shared our conversation below.
Steven & Nicole , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Going back to the beginning – how did you come up with the idea in the first place?
Hello World!! We are Steven & Nicole Cole. Co-owners of the media company “Works of Wonder Studios.” Although we are a husband and wife team of creatives, even as kids and teenagers the arts are something that we both feel has always called us. I (Nicole) remember creating home videos of barbies with my dad’s old recorder. For Steven, when he was a teenager, he would create vlog-style YouTube videos of himself break dancing. We’ve both always had a passion for showcasing creativity through the lens of our own unique styles. When I (Nicole) started a photography & film company in high school, I did it as a hobby until I finished school in New York for dance. Then it became more serious for me as I came back to Georgia. I had no idea the level of talent he possessed for both film and photography. When we first got married, he was focused on beginning his career in the military. Unfortunately, he fell from a repelling tower during training and sustained a major back injury. While at the hospital on base, the military doctors informed him that he had a pre-existing back disease and they ended up releasing him from the military with a medical discharge and no benefits. At this time, I was pregnant with our twins. We both had no income source. My husband’s injury had become a painful reminder of dreams lost daily. Despite the hardships we faced, we began to find a shared passion in shooting photography & film. One day, I looked at all the photos my husband shot on his phone, and they looked like beautiful works of art shot on a DSLR camera worth thousands of dollars. At that moment, I quickly realized this wasn’t just the phone’s work. My husband had a gift to capture moments and create the most beautiful frames of art from these moments. So from that day, we decided to join forces and create a company that would encompass both our passion for media and the natural talent & abilities of my husband and I while preserving and magnifying the beauty of every moment. This was the birth of Works of Wonder Studios.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Our Company is founded upon the principle that every moment is essential. That’s exactly the mindset that we have in our everyday lives. However, the reality is that we can only live in our moments once in our lives. but the pictures and films from these moments can last a lifetime! This is why we take extra care in our products from equipment, to shooting, to editing. the details matter to us. they help us extraordinarily tell the story. Photography and film are our thresholds for making memories that not only last, but also leave a lasting “Wow” effect on every viewer.
How’d you meet your business partner?
We got married :) and discovered our talents. the rest was history.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The joy of creating itself is something that is inspiring to us. Creativity fuels us to be exactly who we were always created to be. And sharing our creations with our clients is a gift to us just as much as it is a gift to them.
