Ep. #144 - Can You Shoot Your Mom's Wedding During the Coronavirus Pandemic?
03/31/20 • 81 min
This week we’re talking about the Boston photographer that unwittingly spread COVID-19 to a bunch of clients, family, and friends after contracting the disease at a biogenesis conference. We also talk about a wedding photographer whose social media was hacked at the beginning of the global pandemic causing a lot of stress for her and her clients and after that we talk about a photographer that threatened to delete a problematic client’s photos. We also take a trip to the drone zone to talk about a new drone that can play dodgeball.
Beer Talk:
Dustin - Puppy Slumber Party from Metazoa
Steve - Double Dorian Stout from Scarlet Lane
Q&A:
Should you shoot your mom’s wedding she’s refusing to cancel due to the pandemic when she’s not paying you anyway or signing a contract?
Anybody printing at home during the pandemic instead of having their prints done by a lab?
How often do you feel like bludgeoning the celebrant with your camera?
What do you do when you’re friends with the bride and she updates her facebook to say she’s in a relationship with a man who is not her soon-to-be groom?
Can you shoot a proposal at a park when your state has a stay at home mandate?
Does anyone offer more things to bring in extra income?

Ep. #143 - Dark Booty WPH Livestream
Howdy partners! WPH went live this week in the facebook group. We talk a lot about COVID-19 and the continued effect it is having on wedding photographers. We can promise that future episodes won't be so pandemic focused, but we can't promise they'll be as much fun as this one. This might be the best episode we've ever done. So come listen to Dustin do his Dustin thing, and listen to Steve criticize Dustin for doing Dustin (that's kind of Steve's thing after all).
Beer Talk:
Dustin - Blackberry Farm
Steve - Glutenberg Stout
Q&A:
Can we go live more often?
Will the Canon EOS R5 really be $3499?
Why are you guys wearing your Sony Pony shirts?
How do you film weddings without the camera stops every 30 minutes?
What do you think of "fake watercolor" images?
Would you consider changing your editing style for a client?
How do you estimate losses for the wedding part of your businesses due to the coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic?
How can you speed up your editing process?
Is it a "jerk" move to buy the domains for my competitors websites and redirect those domains to my site?
