Feast or Famine w/ The Youngs

For the last year, content creators at weddings have become more and more main stream. Not only do couples add this service to their weddings, but wedding vendors are also taking advantage of this service for their content as well.

In this episode, we talk about what the future looks like for wedding videography and wedding day content creation, as well as discuss if vendors bringing in their own content creators is getting out of hand! Join us in this episode where we lift the veil and give our unfiltered opinion, and ideas, about content creators at weddings!

Why do we choose to photograph and film weddings?

In this never-before-released throwback episode, we share the real reasons behind our passion for wedding photography and videography — what keeps us going, what makes it worth it, and the parts no one else sees.

We also challenge the common idea that people join the wedding industry for “time freedom,” and unpack the reality of what it takes to capture a wedding day from start to finish. If you’ve ever wondered what drives wedding photographers and filmmakers, this episode pulls back the curtain.

Why does dressing well feel like a crime in the Midwest? In this episode of Feast or Famine w/ The Youngs, we unpack what it’s like to embrace fashion, design, and modern trends in a place where style is often stuck 18 months behind.

From being called a douchebag on a night out to navigating the passive-aggressive culture of St. Louis, we dive into why trendsetters get side-eyed, how the Midwest treats "boujee energy" like a threat, and what it really means to stand out in a basic city.

Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, or just someone tired of blending in — this episode is for you.

We talk about:

You can prepare for the worst when it comes to photographing a wedding, but sometimes things go beyond that. That is exactly what happened to us. One of the biggest reasons we took a pause, as we mentioned in the previous episode, was getting t-boned in the middle of a wedding day. With our car totaled, waiting on police, we had to navigate making sure we were able to get the rest of the day captured, and deal with the accident. In this episode, we deep dive into the entire situation and tell you all the details of our real wedding day nightmare!
