    Why DJs and Photographers MUST Work Together at Weddings

    In this episode of the DJing Dad Podcast, DJ Jtorcher talks about a growing issue in the wedding industry: photographers and DJs not communicating. Weddings work best when vendors operate as a team, and when that communication breaks down, it can hurt the couple’s experience. We cover why DJs control the flow of the night, how photographers and videographers benefit from working closely with the DJ, lighting mistakes that affect photos, respecting shared setup space, and why vendors should support each other with referrals and reviews. This episode is for couples, DJs, photographers, videographers, and wedding pros who want smoother, better weddings. 🎧 DJing Dad Podcast💍 Book Kreation DJs: https://kreationdjs.com📩 Vendors & creatives — join the conversation in the comments.

    DJing, Fatherhood, and the Wedding Industry: My Story Begins

    In this first episode of the DJing Dad Podcast, DJ Jtorcher opens up about his 25+ year journey in the music world — from spinning vinyl at 12 years old, to working with artists, touring, DJing on cruise ships, and eventually building one of the most trusted wedding DJ companies in the Midwest. He shares the real story behind how Kreation DJs began, why becoming a father changed everything, and what made him transition from club life to the wedding and corporate world. Jtorcher breaks down the biggest differences between club DJs and wedding DJs, why today’s couples are demanding club-style mixing, and how modern receptions are transforming into full-blown nightlife experiences. This episode also tackles the good, the bad, and the inspiring inside the wedding DJ industry. From incredible DJs elevating the craft, to the scams and red flags that hurt couples and vendors, Jtorcher explains what he’s seen firsthand — and what needs to change. He highlights innovators like Nick Spinelli, Jason Jani, Joe Bunn, and Rick Webb, and how their forward-thinking styles influence DJs around the country. You’ll also hear why wedding education is badly needed. Most couples have never been married before, and with so many options, tools, and technical terms — uplighting, intelligent lighting, pricing, packages, mixing styles — Jtorcher breaks down why DJs must focus on value, not just “services.” One of the biggest themes of this episode is community over competition. Jtorcher talks about building relationships with DJ companies like Wedding Crash Kings, working alongside peers such as Bright Night Entertainment, and why helping each other level up creates better experiences for couples and corporate clients. From sharing gigs to shadowing each other at events, he explains how collaboration raises the standard for the entire industry. Finally, Jtorcher previews upcoming episodes, including the “Ask the DJ” segment — where listeners can send in questions about weddings, DJing, gear, pricing, mixing, or anything else they want to learn. If you're a DJ trying to grow, a wedding couple planning your reception, or a creative looking for inspiration, this opening episode sets the tone for a podcast built on education, real talk, and elevating the entire industry. 👉 Want help creating an unforgettable wedding or corporate event?
