We always have fun playing “This or That” with our guests, so we figured it was time to take a turn of our own! On this episode, we sat down to decide what we would choose for a wedding day. Would you spend more money on a wedding photographer or a DJ? Choose a live painter over a photo booth? Have a first look or stick with a traditional aisle reveal? We cover all of these debates (and so much more) on this week’s episode. Let us know what YOU would choose! 👀

In this episode, we dive into the world of "preferred vendor lists" and the controversy surrounding them. From venues that appear to charge couples extra for hiring vendors outside their preferred list, to planners allegedly encouraging vendors to raise their prices so they can earn a commission, we tackle some of the biggest conversations happening in the wedding industry right now. We also weigh in on a vendor who wanted to raise her prices after couples had already booked—a debate that sparked some strong opinions. It's a juicy episode from start to finish, and one you won't want to miss.

We were planning to take the week off, but instead we sat down with Aftershoot founders Justin Benson and Harshit Dwivedi to discuss the launch of Aftershoot 2.0, its newest features, the role of AI in photography, and the company's commitment to building ethical, local AI solutions that empower photographers- not replace them. We also dive into photographers' biggest concerns, explore the future of AI in the industry, and discuss how Aftershoot is staying committed to ethical innovation in a time of growing uncertainty.

After a recent Vogue post about showcasing the pricing of real weddings went viral, we knew we had to dive into the conversation. Should wedding publications regularly share what weddings actually cost? It's a topic the industry has been asking for, and the discussion around pricing transparency is finally gaining momentum. In this episode, we break down the viral post, explore the pros and cons of publishing real wedding budgets, and discuss what greater transparency could mean for couples, vendors, and the wedding industry as a whole.

A hot topic has come up recently: Is wedding behind-the-scenes content going too far? Are wedding vendors starting to prioritize their next client over the one they're currently serving? With wedding day BTS content becoming one of the industry's most powerful marketing tools, more vendors than ever are creating content to get in front of potential clients. But is it starting to take away from the reason they were hired in the first place? We dive into all of that and more in this episode.

Ever wonder what it’s like to coordinate a wedding day? Our friend and Long Island wedding coordinator, Cassidy Wilkinson, joins us in the studio to talk all things wedding coordination.
We dive into her journey, what it’s like being the point person couples rely on throughout the wedding day, and how coordinators keep the chaos under control when things inevitably get hectic.
Cassidy’s personality is larger than life, this conversation was fun as hell, and we know you all are going to love this one.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a fully unhinged wedding story episode, and this one delivered some of the most chaotic stories we’ve ever heard. From scandals and overbearing mothers to so much more, this episode had it all.

We recently celebrated 3 years of the show and thought it would be fun to look back at some of our most controversial statements to see if we still agree with them today. We cover everything from styled shoots and blurry photos to vintage cars on wedding days and so much more. We also discuss how ticks can ruin photo shoots and why communication between wedding vendors needs to be better.

This week, we're joined by Kareem Virgo - wedding photographer, educator, and one of the most recognizable voices in the industry. With more than 300,000 followers, Kareem has built an audience that most photographers only dream about. But that led us to a bigger question: are photographers actually building businesses... or are they just building audiences? We talk about the realities of social media in 2026, whether luxury clients care about follower counts, what truly separates a luxury photographer from someone charging luxury prices, and what clients value that photographers often overlook. We also get into some deeper conversations around representation, visibility, diversity in the wedding industry, and what it means to be seen. Kareem shares his perspective on navigating the industry, feeling underestimated, and the conversations many people still aren't having.
