I, too, am in my metalcore stage of life, Lauren. Not that I was ever out of it.😂

i've worn bright red to a wedding before i knew it was an upstaging color... in my defense it was a destination wedding!

I hattttteeee when people talk during speeches. I offer photo and video, and when I do video for couples and people are still cackling and having conversations during the speeches makes me have the highest of blood pressures. I glare at them across the room and curse their existence. LOL

That schedule breakdown is solid

Yasssssss

Vegas local here, can't wait to see you @ WPPI!

Omg the "MENERGY" blast from the past!! Core memory unlocked haha

As a photographer myself, I am upfront with my family photographer every time, Hey-We don’t show our kids faces on social media, please don’t share any photos with our kids faces showing. They know upfront, and usually she plans to take shots without our kids faces showing just for *me* to be able to post and they come out beautiful, usually silhouettes or everyone walking away.

“Its 9:40 in the morning” been there too

I once had to photoshop the face of one of the groomsmen because for the entire wedding he was like the most intense frown, and I legit just had to build over his face with him smiling in like 4 photos where I just needed evryone to be looking okay

Loved seeing all three of you on the same podcast!! I will say I find myself going to tiktok instead of KZbin for how to's. Let's be real we are the Amazon prime get it today generation. I don't want to watch a 20 minute KZbin when I can learn it in 30 sec on tiktok!!

Great episode! Thanks for bringing all these amazing creators to the podcast 🙏🏼

On the subject of the Goodhue thing - there was actually a plugin for Lightroom 5+ years ago called the PresetRipper that did the exact same thing, the concept has been around for a while

I'm not sure what I'm more shocked about... The app to copy Lr settings or the Sepia Bride becoming a photographer 🤣🤣 My jaw was on thw floor for both portions.

I am FEELING HIS FEELING!!!

I hit the thumbs up before even watching because I know its going to be good. Love your podcast and your dynamic as friends!

I'm with Lauren about the Norovirus. I'm not even a wedding vendor and I have no desire to catch Norovirus from anyone lol. When the kids come home from school sick with it, I feel like I'm trapped 😂

MY PEEPS! Thanks for the shout out. Love you guys ❤ 3:23

Hello! I’m very indecisive on how I should create guides, but I’m finally gonna start after watching this ep! 😅Do you suggest making these as pdf files or do you create a page from your website? Any tips or recommendations would be helpful 🤓

Vendor Table Crew meet up and a live episode of the podcast??

Keyboard lawyer here. Chat GPT told me it was good enough.😂

So nice to listen to you guys! It’s not only informative but also entertaining.

Yall are so funny omg

My podcast parents are fighting 😄 😂

Say yes to the podcast! 🎉

When you upload it into Lightroom, it is already duplicating the files because you’re storing it in two different places. Redundant!!!

I import using photomechanic to two separate drives. Then I cull in photomechanic or use aftershoot, then import into lightroom only the photos I need in there

Michael needs to up his studio set up. Lauren’s set up is on point with the lighting makes Michael’s look like he’s in the kids bedroom lol

LAUREN I love your office 😭 I need help decorating mine

You guys should talk to Miles Wittboyer. I would love to hear a conversation among you three.

I break out in the summer and thus love the winter 😅. I'm sorry to hear about the winter struggles, Lauren.

i like this format - as a viewer i feel more included, like im a part of the call / conversation. your normal format feels more like i'm watching a show

I also break out in hives from the cold I thought I was the only one!!!!!

I know that you are typically on the sides you are on (Mike on stage right, Lauren on stage left), but because you are both looking in the opposite directions when you are looking at each other through your screens you might consider swapping your placement when you do remote recordings like this so it looks more like you are looking at each other, instead of off camera.

If you need to go out and drag someone in this manner after your wedding. I am going to go on a limb and say.... I don't think you should be married and need to re-assess your priorities.

this episode was entertaining 😂😂

I’m on the photographers side and the bride seems like a nightmare but she should have just sent them the unedited photos. If she didn’t want to send the raw maybe just the unedited jpegs. At the end of the day it’s photos of the bride and her friends and family. Just send them the unedited versions, not like you’re gonna do anything with them anyways. Her style is great for her Instagram page but doesn’t fit all circumstances. When I got married our photographers sent us all the unedited photos and raw videos including the edited gallery and we paid much less than what happened here.

You know what's funny guys? Michael and Lauren sharing stories is almost look like they are doing a poetry jam session. (Minus the hand snaps)

“Her cake wasn’t moist enough either” 😂😂😂

I do the same thing Lauren!! I create a album on my external and then into Lightroom.

I knew this episode would deliver, but oh my 😂

One of my favorite episodes so far 🤣🤣

Loooveddd this episode

"I have to give a shit or else I won't be able to produce something good for you." YES 100x over yes!! As a photographer, I need clients to understand this! 🙌🏼

this podcast is golden...this is a good find and its relatable

Had a wedding on Father’s Day this year

Mike: I feel very fucking educated right now. Same, Mike! Great episode. ❤ 💐

Oooo love the perspective from another type of vendor! Maybe do a series, an episode with a guest from each vendor category! Perhaps invitations/signage vendor next?

I really enjoyed this one!(although I enjoy all of them) So great and refreshing to know about all that goes into florals. Good job everyone!

I’m so excited for this episode. I preach how florals are incredibly expensive- and that clients should be looking at inspiration photos in their budget - not 100k Pinterest ideas. Can’t wait to listen.
