Point, click and photoshop: lessons from your event photographer

08/21/24 • 53 min

Episode eight, the spotlight is on...the event component that literally lasts a lifetime...photography!
We sat down with Samantha Clarke who left the world of law to pursue photography 15 years ago. Samantha's commitment to excellence and undeniable talent have earned her recognition as one of America's top photographers by BRIDES Magazine two years in a row.
In this episode, we talk the questions you should ask before you hire a wedding/event photographer, why photoshop is a pet peeve (and not in the way you think), that AI is not the villain we thought it was, bras and unbaked cookies?

We also finally get a professional's opinion about the #SepiaBride debacle once and for all.

Episode seven, the spotlight is on...one of the most important event components - the music!
We sit down with seasoned event, club and corporate event DJ Lissa Monet, a 6x award-winning female DJ based in Toronto with over 15+ years of rocking nightclubs and corporate events around the world. In 2016 she DJed Beyoncé's Formation World Tour VIP events in Toronto and Detroit. (Does this make me 2 degrees of separation from Beyoncé???)
She also co-founded LUXELIFE SOUND, an all-female DJ boutique agency where amazing female DJs are placed at exclusive private and corporate gigs across North America. She is also the creator of THAT SLOW JAM PARTY, Toronto's first-ever all-slow jam party.
We talk what clients AND guests should know, how DJing has changed since the days of hauling milk crates with vinyl records, pet peeves and what the alt title of the podcast might have been.

Episode nine, the spotlight is on...more event stories that had gotten the people going in the last 30 days.
From the triumph of the Paris Olympics to film festival season to couples charging wedding guests an admission fee, events from great to small are definitely in full swing.
With about 95% of the venues used during the Paris Olympics in existence prior to the city’s winning bid to host the Games, it set a new standard for reduce, reuse and recycle.
And what's up with this new trend of charging wedding guests admissions like it's a Beyonce concert? I am in total confusion and don't pull any punches with my feelings about it.
