We’re baaaaack with some summer reminiscing and lots of random banter. Lots of wedding photography stories today! Including ones about a bride who disappoints everyone, a super rude wedding planner, a groom who is found unexpectedly, a persistent uncle Bob with a new camera, and a very grumpy groom.

We are joined by Nancy Arnold of Kiex Fotography where we talk about creativity, inspiration, and why we do this job. You realize we talk about other things as well like favourite chips and how Mel’s Instagram got hacked. Mel also says she wants to shoot double jpeg but she means RAW. We also tell some fun stories including finding out your groom has Covid on the wedding day so you leave the wedding early and are called out for being unprofessional, falling repeatedly at shoots, when posing prompts go wrong, stabbing yourself in the face while shooting a wedding, when your camera bag turns into a boat, and when someone steals your camera bag while you are shooting a destination wedding.

Dogs and disorganized wedding drama, an unexpected guest at a newborn session, a very angry mother of the groom and an absolute shit show wedding for the books. Also for some reason we talk about Mel’s first time having a baby, which is completely unrelated to photography or anything else for that matter.

This week we are joined by our very special guest, filmmaker and “sometimes photographer” Abdul Koroma.

Apologies for Mel’s audio as her microphone was on the fritz (she ordered a new one for next week). We discuss a lot of funny things that happen behind the scenes in videography!

So many stories this week! Including: an allergic reaction that brings a shoot to a standstill and leaves the models in a predicament, a gastrointestinal emergency at a reception, wedding party fight on a trolley, why you really should use a strap for your camera, and an open bar reception in a house.

As we try not to get depressed about our third pandemic lockdown, we discuss stories involving shooting the same session 3 times, what can happen when you “gift” wedding photos, an angry neighbour misunderstanding your home session and a very R-rated shoot request.

This episode is a deep dive into oblivion. Mel and Dwayne both had several beers and let the truth bombs fly while they discuss stories such as awful second shooters, a big surprise at a model portfolio shoot, both of your memory cards failing after a wedding, and being promoted from second to main shooter at a wedding only to be driven around in a car that requires a breathalyzer to start.
