The Snappening - Wedding Photography Podcast

Hey Snappety Snappers, today I chat with Carla Mitchell, who is a super talented photographer from Queenstown. She spends most of the year shooting amazing help-elopments, and also has a Photo Booth company, The Photobooth. She is now setting up Slay my Day; NZ’s newest wedding and events platform, bringing together vendors and connecting them with couples looking for the perfect match! Slay My Day has a free signup period for vendors, which is valid until the 30th of June 2025 (although if you say you heard it here, let them know and they can extend it a few days).

Hi guys! Today I have a lovely chat with Martin Ellard from Wales! Martin is well known for his reportage / documentary style and we chat in detail about how that was forged. He has quite an interesting photographic journey and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers - has almost never had another job outside of the photographic industry!

Hi guys, today I'm speaking with Brendan Samuels from the Blue Mountains in Australia. We touch on his journey to where he is now, as well as how being confident with sales makes such a difference to wedding photographers. We also have a bit of a brainstorm on ways to improve the client experience (without giving ourselves too much extra work!).

Welcome back Snappers! The Snappening is back! Well... half back... and maybe not even the good half... but anyway, Greg is back and he's interviewing other photographers to see what makes them tick, have a few yarns, learn a few things and have a few giggles along the way.

In episode 160, Greg chats with Nick Thake, a very experienced wedding photographer (actually a hybrid shooter) from Perth. He's big time into diving and has quite an amazing story behind how he got into weddings - enjoy!

Hey hey! Today we chat about a pretty dumb Lightroom glitch where the image doesn't skip when you want it to - and through our own testing we might've found a workaround! Tom also gets hustled by a Facebook Marketplace user - but Big T get the last laugh. We also chat more about the a9iii... what a beast!
