We chat about the challenges of working internationally as a photographer, the impact our images can have, and how to give back to the places we are visiting with our clients.

What happens when you get to a wedding day and the clients have a balloon release or some other activity planned that you know if incredibly damaging to the environment?

Do you still photograph it?

That's a dilemma I've faced in the past, and after speaking with Aida from My Wedding Season Podcast, I'm not alone.

So what can you do as a photographer to make sure you don't end up in this awkward position in the first place?

In this episode I chat with my good friend and fellow elopement photographer & coach Steph Zakas.

We chat about trends within the wedding photography industry, and how they can leave many photographers confused and unsatisfied with their businesses.
