What happens when one really bad wedding makes you question everything like, why am I even doing this? It’s so easy to spiral and focus on the negatives as a vendor, especially when the burnout hits hard. In this raw and honest episode, we’re talking about what Jess is going through right now, what it looks like to fall out of love with weddings and how to falling back in love with them again.

He’s not a regular wedding photographer he’s a cool wedding photographer.

We’re back with Part 2 of our wedding hot takes, and this time Lisa is in the driver’s seat firing off questions that have Jess and Shelby spilling all their unfiltered opinions. 👀

From the adorable (or chaotic?) presence of kids at weddings to the ever-controversial debate on guests using their Ipads during the ceremony nothing is off limits!

Here’s what we’re tackling in this episode:

💍 Should kids really get a wedding invite or is it better to keep things 18+?

📸 Guest photos: sweet memories or a photographer’s worst nightmare?

💸 Budget battles: should you stay in your lane or splurge on your dream day?

Get ready for laughs, a few passionate rants, and maybe even a hot take or two you definitely weren’t expecting. Whether you’re planning your own wedding or just love a good debate, this one’s for you.

Let’s get real, wedding vendors if you woke up tomorrow and couldn’t run your business… would it keep going without you? Or would it crash and burn before you even had time to text the group chat?

This week on Weddings Unfiltered, we’re having the conversation most vendors avoid the “what if” scenario that could make or break your business. From surprise emergencies to planned breaks (hello, burnout), we’re unpacking why your systems, boundaries, and business model might be the difference between thriving and barely surviving.

- Challenge how you think about automation, delegation, and growth

- Show you the exact red flags that mean your business can’t survive without you

- Give you the steps to start building a business that works even when you’re not in the driver’s seat

It’s part reality check, part pep talk, and 100% the tough love you need to future-proof your wedding biz.
