WE'RE BACK! It's been a while since our last episode (thanks to the busyness of our weddings taking over), but we are back with a bang gearing you up for this years wedding season!

If you're still here with us, what a way to kick off the new season.. an actual chat with a real life bride & groom. We hear from their perspective; how they booked suppliers, what their priorities were and what gave them the ick.

A really interesting, unique & possibly polarising take, that will make you rethink how you communicate with your own couples.

Before you start this episode, if you haven't seen today's guest, Andrew, on Instagram, PLEASE go and look at his page. He is unashamedly, often hilariously, carving out a small corner of social media to post his musings on the wedding industry and wedding photography.

The result is highly relatable, witty & thoughtful content for anyone in the wedding industry. What started out as a lighthearted "30 day challenge" for Andrew has turned into a revolution for his business. Doubling his followers and now (6 months in) averaging 1 million engagements per month, he is busier in the DM's than ever and is getting more enquiries than ever.

It really goes to show that there is no right or wrong with social media, and if you've ever been stuck on 'what to post', this conversation is a great example of staying true to yourself and just going for it.
