    We’re back from a long hiatus and Mel blames Dwayne. The stories are wild today: An accident on the dance floor, a groom calls off the wedding the day of, a dead body interrupts photos, the father of the bride loses his pants, and an exhibitionist couple at an engagement session.

    Episode 33 - Britnee Shpeersh Reckerdzz

    Dwayne and Mel discuss a terrifying client who should be arrested. Once we are done talking about the serious and horrifying stuff, Dwayne becomes the terminator and we tell some stories such as when protective boyfriends call the police during your session, an incredibly disappointing family session, when an inquiry “gets gifted” their photography by someone else, and being sabotaged by angry guests at a wedding ceremony.

    Episode 31 - In the Pit

    Episode 31 - In the Pit

    In today’s episode we teleport to Las Vegas (okay, we zoomed) to chat with powerhouse photographer Brian Friedman of B-Freed Photography. He talks about his experiences photographing celebrities, big name concerts, being an NYC elopement photographer, and that barely scratches the surface of his career! He also tells some really fun stories including bloopers of shooting concerts like getting smashed in the face, and having paparazzi-level moments. What’s it like to be backstage with Lady Gaga? Listen to find out!
    We also discuss a wedding photographer being asked to pay for dry cleaning the wedding dress and how batteries dying during really important wedding moments really sucks!

    Check out the links below to learn more about Brian and his work!

Fun!

Two friends getting together and telling stories centred around photography. The hosts are funny and their interactions are natural. The stories and experiences are hilarious. You will have fun and not learn anything.
