WE ARE WED TALKS.

Welcome "WED TALKERS" to episode 19 of WE ARE WED TALKS. This episode is the second in a series that we recently recorded and shot in Atlanta at Ambient+Plus Studio.

Our guest for this episode is Andrea Miclea of Heirloom Foto!
Andrea got her Bachelors in English Literature and a Masters in Early Childhood Development, but always had the spark for photography burning inside her. Starting when she was eight years old shooting roll after roll of film on her mom's Olympus cameras. At age 15, she received her first DSLR camera from her dad and became "that girl with the camera." Andrea quickly figured out that she loved capturing moments and was utterly fascinated by photography but didn't think it would end up being her profession.

After getting her Masters' degree, Andrea was still not 100% satisfied. At the age of 21, she decided to pour gas on the idea of being a professional photographer and has never looked back.  Now 27, Andrea's business Heirloom Foto is blowing up and taking her around the world to weddings for brides and grooms .

Andrea is a shooting star!  We are honored that she sat down with us to do our podcast and gave our listeners tips on how to create a work-life balance.  Listen as she shares some tips on social media and how to get acclimated to your surroundings, all while traveling for photography.

Wassup "WED TALKERS" We are so excited about sharing the next few episodes with you all!! First off, we love every episode as they all have their own uniqueness to each one, but for the upcoming four episodes, WE ARE WED TALKS. went on the road to Atlanta, Georgia! We are so thankful as well as Ambient+Plus Studio was so gracious to host our guest for the podcast recordings and us all day.

Our first guest Kaitlin Long of Downtown Flowers, actually recommended where we recorded and is just one of the sweetest, most creative vendors we have had the pleasure of podcasting with.

Kaitlin started as a veterinarian assistant in 2009. She loved helping animals, but in late 2014 when she and her husband Dillon Long were expecting their first child, lifting 50-pound dogs on to the vet table didn't seem like the best idea for an expecting mother. As things would have it, about that time, an opportunity came available to start helping at Downtown Flowers. So Kaitlin took the jump and left the vet gig and started working at Downtown Flowers, not knowing how far it would take her. 

2019, another child and, another storefront later, Kaitlin is the sole owner of Downtown Flower's two locations and pursuing her dreams and enjoying making her client's dreams and visions come true.

By continuously pushing the business to grow, getting out of her comfort zone, meeting new vendors, using her creativity & resiliency, Kaitlin has made Downtown Flowers into one of the best florists around the North Georgia, Atlanta area!

Welcome back "WED TALKERS" to ep.16 w/Melissa Wilson of Melissa Wilson Photography!

Melissa got her start as a photographer at the age of 16 when she started doing weddings and events for her friends from church. Even though she was a new photographer, people were in love with the moments she was capturing. Melissa knew then that this is what she wanted to do as a career.

Fast forward a few years after Melissa had gotten her degree, and she was still not where she wanted to be. Due to having a day job and trying to figure when was the right time to start her photography business.  Well, there is never a proper time so, Melissa took the BIG leap of faith. Coinciding with having tons of faith, working super hard and having a community over competition attitude Melissa has risen to be one of the top wedding photography businesses on the Gulf Coast.

Melissa is super talented, sweet, funny. She feels super blessed that she gets to work with people on some of the most special and happy days of their lives and can make her schedule so she can hang with her husband Ace and their daughter Jewels.

Hello "WED TALKERS"!

Welcome to ep.15 with the amazing Chloe Sexton from Supposey.co, RentSupposey.co & The Posey Bus!

Chloe got her start in the industry at the age of 16 while working at Fiore. By age 19 (that's right...19) she was inspired to start her own wedding floral business "Supposey" by all the creative professionals she was working around.

A few years later, after her business was blossoming & booming, she ran into her future husband and business partner Nick Sexton. Being inspired again this time by her husband, who comes from an entrepreneurial family, they decided to grow the business. They added Rent Supposey.Co and The Posey Bus to their line of services so they could also help their clients with wedding rentals, wedding planning and photo booths making them the ultimate one-stop-shop on the Gulf Coast!

Chloe & Nick are some of the hardest working people you will meet in the industry and will go all out for their clients.  Their "go get 'em / never give up" attitude is infectious and ultimately the key to success for their businesses.
