Designer nitpicking...

There's weak contrast between elements. Your logo, three images, sub-headings and call to action are all nearly the same size (freakin' HUGE). Instead, decide which element is the most important and create a visual funnel down or across the page to and from it. Guide the user, don't yell at them.

The general alignment is off. Using centered text throughout the page makes your eye jump abruptly from one line to the next. I suggest instead left-aligning everything except the images and their sub-headings (Photos, Blogs, Videos). This will make them easier to scan and comprehend.

Finally, use some proximity. The current layout is stating that every element is related when, really, they aren't. Each serves different purposes so separate your content into their own unique spaces.

Hope this helps.

Trusting "your" gut is fine and all, but which road do you take when there's multiple people, with differing opinions, involved in the final decision? This is when it's key to lean on people you are able to trust, communicate with and most importantly, forgive, if the situation doesn't work out.
