Aaron Nace joins us this week to talk about his conceptual photography, his journey into becoming a photographer, and his recent trip to Alaska where he shot the reception of a wedding. He's not a wedding photographer, but he did get the photos turned around and sent back to the client in one night. So he's putting us all to shame. We also talk with Aaron about his company Phlearn and the motivation behind teaching other photographers his craft.

It's fall. We're busy and the planet looks like it's slowly dying a beautiful death. This week we're talking about videographers getting all up in our business. People posting candid photos from weddings and then saying they need a photographer that can recreate that for them at their wedding. We also talk about disappointing food at weddings.

STOP VAPING NOW! Look, we gotta get this important message out. Vaping is too cool and the government doesn't want you to look so cool anymore. So you have to stop now... also people are dying... but mostly the government hates how cool you look. So leave your vape stick at home and take professional vapist off your business card. Now that we've finished that, let's get to the episode! We're talking about about reproducing art with your camera, shooting in houses/buildings with art on the walls, and shooting in public in front of artwork (graffiti, sculptures, statues). Have you heard of the iPhone that outshot a professional wedding photographer with some sort of DSLR or Mirrorless camera? Cause we're talking about that this week. We also talk about Steve's accident on the way to a wedding, Dustin's video woes, and the concept of having a minimum amount of money a client is required to book you for if they want to shoot on a Saturday or Sunday.

This week we're joined by Raymond Hatfield of the Beginner Photography Podcast! Raymond is a Indianapolis wedding photographer with a lot of experience. This week we're talking to Raymond about the LA Dodgers, his journey from Tech High School to Film School to Wedding Photographer, his photography podcast and its awesome community.

What do you even do with $4k cash? Having trouble figuring out what to do with that drug money your client used to pay you? Don't worry, we can help. Also we're talking about those iPhones 11 Pro Max, bothers that steal your photos, Skylum Luminar 4, and advertising on Facebook. We also talk about the Hillary Clinton gangster infested Google groups (and we have no clue what the hell that means).

We’re joined by James Kelly and Ross Eaglesham of the Photographer’s Craic Podcast this week! We’re talking about ways to jazz up your real estate photography with sexy pictures… like literally, pictures of yourself having sex. James shares a story about a couple having sex at a wedding in a deliberate attempt to to destroy family photos. We’re also sharing stories about the pettiest things that have happened at weddings, as in the pettiest things we’ve made the mistake of doing. James shares the secret to doing shooting three weddings in a row that are all over 12 hours.

This week we recorded with Josh Withers! Josh is a marriage celebrant from Australia, but this episode is about so much more than just celebrating marriage. Josh and his wife Brit run a company called the Elopement Collective and we talk to Josh a lot about planning and running elopements. We also talk to him about the role photographers play in elopements and what his wife and him look for when they're trying to identify photographers to work with for their company. Josh is also an amazing drone photographer and while he's out doing elopements he takes a lot of drone photos of the surrounding landscapes. So we talk with Josh a lot about the drone photos and what he looks for when shooting drone photos.

Spider-Man is out of the MCU. A photographer loses photos in a house fire. A photographer in Wisconsin who lost their gear, get it all back... with the wedding photos still on the cards (after running recovery software). A multi-year winner of the Knot's 'Best of Weddings' award is sued by a bunch of clients and the media thinks this is a big deal. We learn about the beauty of death and see brainstorm how we can incorporate that into our weddings. DJI puts out a new Osmo pocket thing for cell phones.

This week we’re joined by the world’s greatest photographers, Booray Perry and Gary Hughes, of the Photobomb Podcast! It’s a claim that the intro to their podcast makes every week… and I guess now we’ve made about them too. We’re talking about Comic books, Dungeons and Dragons, parenting, podcasting, the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and a little bit about actual photography at some point too!

This week, we're joined by Andy Buscemi and Neal Urban of Wedding Photographers Unite! for a joint episode! Unfortunately, Jimi Ferrara couldn't make it on the show, but we'll get him next time. This week we are talking about non-disparagement clauses, what should you do when a vendor wants to use your photos but won't meet your terms for use (crediting you as the person that took the photo), how to identify vendors you want to work with, how to handle fans of your work when they're wedding guests, Sony cameras, and drones. Neal also brings a conundrum to the table in this episode. What would you do if the videographer got in a bunch of your photos? Photoshop them out? Deliver the photos with the videographer in them?
