  • Amanda Miller Photography: “Tell it like it is” Gal
    Join Robin + Kelsey as they welcome via Zoom award-winning wedding and lifestyle photographer  Amanda Miller from Chicago, IL! There is so much fun to cover and hear on this episode! Amanda is a “tell it like it is” gal and has a few opinions to share! 
    You think it’s obvious, but photo crediting is so important guys! What about client expectations and the perceived importance of sneak peaks from your wedding day? Listen in on Amanda’s take on the artist's process, and how long a photographer/artist needs to edit the gallery of photos  - couples should understand and accept the communicated timeframe.
    Amanda really feels that “living in your day” as a bride or groom, gives them the ability to be present on their day, and allows your photographer to capture the absolute best images! Having a photo list is great, but being relaxed and letting your pro take the reins is key! Robin + Kelsey LOVE the private champagne toast idea … hint hint! 
    Make sure to follow Amanda on Instagram @AmandaMegMiller as her insta stories are seriously some of the best we see! And to learn more how to hire her as your photographer, check her out online  - she’s based in Chicago but travels all over the place to follow a love story!

  • Heather of Editor’s Touch
    Zooming in from Meridian Idaho, Heather of Editor’s Touch joins Robin + Kelsey on today’s guest episode.  Heather is known for being a little spicy and not shying away from talk about “triggering topics” which keeps conversations with her so fresh!  Her specialty is “removing the ugly from the internet one website at a time” and boy does she! Heather was trusted to design the website for Chris Harrison, the man, the myth + the legend behind creating the Bachelor Nation.  
    Robin + Kelsey cover the following hot topics with Heather that she writes about on her blog. Whether you’re a vendor or a bride to be, Heather’s blog is a great “go to” to vent all the wedding stress:
    You’ll piss off a lot of people when you start doing what’s best for you as a business owner
    When wedding planners do this…double dipping into vendor costs - smart or shady?
    You’ve hired a creative, now let them create!
    You’ve received money for your services; now dance monkey dance! abso-F*CKING-lutely NOT! 
    What came first: the photograph or the details? The battle between the photographer + planner.
    Interested in having Heather design your new website? Check out her work online and give her a follow on insta @editorstouch
