032: You're not a documentary photographer!

Well…this episode ended up taking quite an unexpected turn!!
When we sat down to record, we planned on making a fairly light-hearted chat about how we’re holding up in the height of busy season and the things that we’re dealing with.
What actually happened is we got to the topic of ‘reading the room’ and that ended up moulding the shape of the entire episode!
This topic is on the lips of a lot of wedding creatives at the moment and we obviously both have strong enough feelings about it to make it dominate the conversation of this chat.
-How difficult can it be on a wedding day if the photographer and videographer have different views on how to capture the moments??

-Is there a right or wrong when it comes to capturing moments naturally or re-creating moments just for the camera?

-Are we as creatives being totally honest about how we capture these moments to our couples in the lead up to the wedding?

We both felt so much better after recording this episode and sharing our views on this idea of ‘reading the room’ and just how important that is as a skill for a wedding creative.
Hopefully you’ll find yourself screaming back at the speaker as you listen and we’d absolutely LOVE to hear your views on this crowd-dividing opinion.
