Complete Wedding Photography for Couples Getting Married
This wedding planning podcast is meant to help couples, just like you, have NO REGRETS about their choice of wedding photographer or the resulting wedding images. It will walk you through every single phase from getting engaged to the anniversary session as it mostly relates to photography—though there may be some general planning tips from time to time. The publishing schedule is every Tuesday at 6 a.m. CST and periodic bonus episodes on Thursdays at 6 a.m. CST. In each episode, I’ll try to tackle a common problem or obstacle that I have personally experienced over the years of shooting weddings or I’ll discuss something that I'm currently observing in the industry. Occasionally, I’ll invite other photographers from all over the world to join me and offer their insight and expertise for your listening pleasure.
