In this episode, we sit down with Justin to explore how he got started in the wedding videography business and how building strong relationships through networking opened unexpected doors. He shares how stepping into second shooting has brought a refreshing shift during a quieter season, and walks us through his smooth, client-friendly process from enquiry to booking. Whether you're new to the industry or looking to grow through connection, Justin’s story is full of insight and inspiration.

In this episode, I’m sharing two very real stories from my journey as a wedding photographer—one where I said yes and deeply regretted it, and another where saying no opened the door to the kind of work I truly wanted. We’ll talk about the hidden costs of misaligned bookings, the long-term power of intentional choices, and why protecting your calendar is really about protecting your brand. If you’ve ever struggled with whether to take on a booking “just because,” this one’s for you.

Hey everyone, It’s Jess — and welcome back to the podcast!

It’s a beautiful morning here in sunny Ireland. Yes, you heard me right… *sunny* Ireland. The sun has been shining nearly every day for the past three to four weeks, and I am absolutely loving it. I'm starting my day with a fresh cup of coffee, and I hope you're feeling good wherever you're listening from.

Today, let’s chat about something I think we’ve all wondered at some point — photo and video *delivery times*.

How long is too long? Is there even such a thing as the "right" amount of time?

It’s been a little while, and wow — a lot has happened since we last caught up.

First of all, wedding season is here and it’s already wild. We kicked things off just last week, and from here on out, it’s a full-on sprint! You know how it is — travel, events, outfits, late nights, early mornings. It’s a beautiful chaos.

And so, what better time to start recording podcasts again, right? 😅 I know, I know — this probably isn’t the ideal moment, but honestly, when is? So let’s roll with it.

In this episode we talk about attending networking events, what to expect, having the right mindset, things to avoid and mistakes I've made.

In today's episode I recap our 6 events in a row and talk about everything we learned and what we would do differently.

I also share my thoughts on Meta's verified blue tick for Instagram and why we got verified.

Flothemes just announced that everyone that bought a theme from them has one year to change over to Pixieset or start a new website somewhere else. So instead of relaxing in the sun somewhere in Mexico over the quieter winter months, you will find me stressed out in the office shouting at the computer while we create new websites.

Also, I would love to hear from you, what would you like to hear next in the podcast?
