    In this episode, we talk about the things that hinder creatives when it comes to running their business, and how they can excel at both.

  • The wedding industry isn't immune to social media drama, and this week proved just that! The last week was a whirlwind thanks to "sepia-gate". If you need a refresher, or just don't know what that is, just go to tiktok and look for it. The Bride, to date, has posted over 20 videos on the platform about this, and only recently, did the photographer get a chance to say her part, thanks to our friends at @thevendortable .

    In this episode, we deep dive into what actually happened, give our opinions on the topic, based on what we have heard from both sides.

  • HOT TOPIC ALERT!

    On this episode we dig into the luxury wedding market, and discuss some things that have been said, and why it is incorrect and a limiting mindset idea. THAT topic is all about Photo Video teams in the wedding industry. It has been said by some Luxury wedding planners that photo video teams can't be considered luxury, and some even have said they would never hire a team like that. We dig into everything that is wrong with that mindset, and set the record straight on why that is an outdated mindset, and should change. Getting fired up on this episode!

  • You can't give if your cup is empty!

    We've all been there. We load ourselves with so much stuff, that the second something bad happens, things start to fall apart. If you are constantly giving without focusing on refilling your own cup, you will end up burnt out or maybe worse.

  • There is no "one size fits all" solution to photographing your couples!

    One thing we LOVE about what we get to do, is the sheer diversity of clients we get to work with. When you work with such a diverse group of clients, the way you interact and photograph them is going to be different, if you are going to create the best photos for them. In this episode, we talk about how we go about finding what makes our couples unique, and working through the best way to photograph them and make sure their true personalities shine through in the photos.

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

    We are so excited to start a new year, but as with every new year, comes the influx of people setting New Year's resolutions. Whether it's to be healthier, make more money, or any number of things, New Years resolutions are always a hot topic. HOWEVER, in this episode we are going to talk about why resolutions dont work, and why so many people fail at them. We talk about why a shift in mindset and strategic goal setting is far more important than vague resolutions, when going into a new year, and how to actually make those goals a reality!
