[S4/Ep104] Finally—The World Gets It: Real Over Posed Artwork

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.

🎙️ Episode 104/Season 4: Finally—The World Gets It: Real Over Posed

After years of championing authenticity, award-winning wedding photojournalist Tammy Blalock shares her excitement that the wedding industry is finally embracing real, candid moments over staged perfection.

Tammy reflects on her early misconceptions about photojournalism, how her perspective evolved, and why she believes documenting is far more powerful than directing. If you’ve ever felt torn between posed and candid photography, this heartfelt episode will remind you why emotion always wins.
