The wedding industry isn't immune to social media drama, and this week proved just that! The last week was a whirlwind thanks to "sepia-gate". If you need a refresher, or just don't know what that is, just go to tiktok and look for it. The Bride, to date, has posted over 20 videos on the platform about this, and only recently, did the photographer get a chance to say her part, thanks to our friends at @thevendortable .

In this episode, we deep dive into what actually happened, give our opinions on the topic, based on what we have heard from both sides.

Ne sure to check out the podcasts we mention in this episode for more on this subject:

HOT TOPIC ALERT!

On this episode we dig into the luxury wedding market, and discuss some things that have been said, and why it is incorrect and a limiting mindset idea. THAT topic is all about Photo Video teams in the wedding industry. It has been said by some Luxury wedding planners that photo video teams can't be considered luxury, and some even have said they would never hire a team like that. We dig into everything that is wrong with that mindset, and set the record straight on why that is an outdated mindset, and should change. Getting fired up on this episode!
