A humorous, candid and inspiring podcast for wedding photographers who want to learn and be inspired. We're Brighton wedding photographer duo Anna Pumer and Todd Lawton from Kick Ass Photographers, and we share our experiences and discuss business stuff (with some silly banter thrown in for free). We've been wedding photographers since 2012, and also run Kick Ass Photographers - a membership for photographers who want to get booked up with dream clients. "Funny, insightful, irreverent and on point." - John Woodward, wedding photographer
