We've been away for a few months, the volume of work and lack of time to put aside to sit down meant we haven't recorded an episode. Well..... we did sit down and record once, but due to Darren's bad throat at the time of recording the episode didn't get aired. But we now have something for you, with some proper good nuggets to take away!  We recap on some weddings we've covered this summer. There was something unique about them all and an underlying current was present in them. How hard is it to find your ideal wedding photographer? We have some advice for couples in the process of tryin ..read more

A repeating topic keeps cropping up here and there. The feeling is there from couples planning to wed that most photographers are out to just extort money from them, by over charging for photography. This is a feeling that has festered in many peoples minds. But is this right? Do those planning to wed and seeking a decent photographer need to be educated at all? We discuss this in our latest episode. When is a professional photographer not a professional photographer? When they complain about rules put in place by venues! We'll give our take on this, and remind ourselves that we are JUST the p ..read more

We're often asked many questions from potential clients. Some standard, and some not so. How do you answer the more obscure questions? Copyright is a complex law. It can be the most contentious of topics between photographers, and clients alike. What's the right way to deal with this, and what could be the potential outcome of the decision? There has been a surge in the amount of people now offering wedding photography services. We embrace all those that want to give it a go and forge a path in this very competitive, very saturated but massively rewarding side to the industry. But as newcomer ..read more

In our latest episode we catch up with things that the last month has presented us. We have had a few weddings and other photo jobs. We've been on the road a bit, and a very nice Welsh wedding has been a highlight for us.

What do you favour and why?? We'd love to hear your preferences. Venues thinking about charging su ..read more
