Why Albums are still important in 2024

<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, I sit down with my friend Greg, a wedding photographer who&amp;#39;s gone full circle—starting in a 9-5, switching to full-time photography, and now back in traditional employment. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We dive deep into the reasons behind his decision, what motivated his return to full-time work, and why platforms like Wedissimo are a game-changer for part-timers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, Greg shares his top gear picks for anyone just starting out in wedding photography today.&lt;/p&gt;

From Full-Time Photographer to 9-5: Why Greg Made the Switch (Twice!)

<description>&lt;p&gt;This week, Daiga and I dive into a tricky situation where a church allowed photos but banned video—find out how we managed it and our top tips, including the nuclear button for when vicars try to change the rules at the last minute! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also chat about the challenges of family group photos, the latest gear I&amp;#39;ve added to my kit, and the jaw-dropping capabilities of Evoto AI. I&amp;#39;m both amazed and a bit uneasy about how easily it can alter appearances, and we discuss what this could mean for our future clients.&lt;/p&gt;

Churches & Groups - How we handled an awkward situation

<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode I chat to David, the co-founder of Wedissimo. David &amp;amp; I have a very open and candid discussion about what makes Wedissimo different from other wedding directories, its goals, and who it&amp;#39;s designed to serve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We explore the benefits that Wedissimo offers to wedding photographers and the couples who use it. But David doesn&amp;#39;t shy away from discussing the potential downsides or the types of photographers who might not find it a perfect fit. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also talk about the long term plans for Wedissimo and why they are trying to raise capital via crowdfunding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re a wedding photographer considering listing on Wedissimo, or just curious about new tools in the industry, this episode is a must-listen.&lt;/p&gt;
