I am a huge fan of the Wedding Photo Hangover Podcast, and I have been fortunate enough to get to know the hosts as well as making an appearance on their podcast. Recently Dustin flew in to California to film a wedding, I took advantage of his trip and drove down to San Diego to meet him and get him on the podcast! We talked about outsourcing your work, adding different streams of revenue to your photography and how to run a sustainable business with a future. Give it a listen, its another great episode!

Episode 37 Gustavo Caraveo - Photographing my first wedding

View fullsize

Gustavo Caraveo had the opportunity to photograph his very first wedding. This was an interesting perspective on someone who did not necessarily have the intention on becoming a wedding photographer, but as the opportunity presented itself, it definitely gained his interest. Gustavo is a close friend of mine, so this was a very special for me to able to sit down with a close friend and talk about photography.

In this episode I sat down with my wife Maria to talk about some of the weddings we photographed throughout the year. We talked about some of the experiences we had throughout the year, the good, the bad. It was fun sitting down with Maria to go over the past year and give thanks to all our couples who gave us the opportunity to photograph their weddings, and also to give thanks our listeners for all your continuous support of this podcast!

Episode 33 Associate Shooting

View fullsize

In this episode i talk about associate shooting. We had the opportunity to have an associate photographer shoot a wedding for us on our behalf for the very first time. This is something Maria and I have been talking about for sometime, and it is definitely something we have wanted to add to our packages. Associate Shooting can be a really great opportunity to expand your work and take the next step to a more sustainable business. This is something that is very new to us, so I would really love to hear your thoughts on the subject, if this is something you have tried, or currently offer for your business, I’d love to hear your take on this, or if you have questions of your own, I’d love to hear what they are so we can get a discussion going and see what would be the best way to add this to your business.
