This is a question heavy episode. Jenn, Steve’s wife, fills in for Dustin this week because he’s incapacitated. Steve and Jenn answer questions from the internet in this action filled episode.

Beer Talk:

Jenn’s drinking an Apple Pie Wine from Oliver Winery.
Steve’s drinking a Two Hearted from Bells Brewery.

It’s almost all Q&A:

  • Have you guys shot a disabled wedding before and do you have any thoughts on posing, apart from close ups looking down, so the bride (who isn’t disabled) doesn’t look like the caretaker?
  • Why do brides send timelines to vendors that include lots of extraneous information?
  • Have you ever been in a creative rut and feel that the work you’re producing is crap? If so, what do you do?
  • The bride’s dad passed away three weeks ago. How should you attack that situation?

Gear Talk:

Call in about the Fuji XT-3 from Carl Osmond of Driftwood Media Productions.

More Q&A:

  • The family gave me a boutonniere on the wedding day. What am I supposed to do with this? I’m the photographer. Has anyone else been given a boutonniere or corsage while shooting?
  • SOS… How can I avoid black holes for eyes? I understand basic editing. I’ve tried radial filters, brushes and levels and nothing seems to help. Can anyone help?
