In today's episode, we interview the elusive animal, PJ Brown -- a brilliant cinematographer who happens to be based out of Charleston. PJ has produced and directed commercial content, music videos, and is also a long time friend in the wedding filming world.

In this episode we discuss origin stories involving funerals, nudist weddings, and pizza shops-- evaluating the soul values of projects and if that dream client is truly a "dream", and the power of leaving the camera at home to take in the real moment (even when you're in portfolio-worthy places.)
