In today's episode, Ashley talks about one of her favorite parts of the wedding she photographed last week. This convo leads us down a rabbit trail of talking about photographing bridal details. Chris shares about an experience one of his brides is having with a vendor not getting back to her for 3 weeks and we get on the topic of how to handle a vendor not getting back in touch with you!

This episode has 2 parts to it! In the intro, we have a conversation about the future of the podcast (we almost called it quits this week yall) and some format changes that are coming. The second part of the episode is us two catching up since we haven't really chatted in a few weeks! We talk about a few random (but entertaining) things and Ashley shares some fun things she saw at the wedding she photographed in LA!
