Two years after Cloe was a guest at a wedding I shot, she got back in touch to ask if I'd reshoot her portraits and key moments after being unhappy with her original gallery.

In this episode I have a chat with Cloe about:

• How she found her suppliers and specifically her photographers.

• What she felt her gallery missed and what hindsight has taught her.
• Why Cloe booked a content creator despite having two photographers and a videographer already.
• Why she chose not to leave a review, and how the reshoot completed the story for her
• Her advice to photographers listening to this episode.

Conclusion

This is a conversation I'm genuinely glad I recorded. Getting an honest account from a bride who was not thrilled by her wedding photographs isn't a conversation many of us genuinely hear. And I'm incredibly grateful that Cloe shares her experiences without bitterness and with real generosity toward the photographers involved. Her reflections on communication, expectations, and timelines are lessons we should all take on board and her advice on getting involved earlier in the planning is something I'm going to take seriously.
