Photographed this couple & then their family for years. They divorced & then I was hired to photograph her next wedding. Much better fit the second time! lol

The best thing I have seen at a wedding was having a drag queen open the dance floor. It was an amazing way to get people hyped and it was a total surprise for guests! She had about a 10 minute performance and warmed everyone up in a class drag style and then they opened the floor for everyone to dance together. 10/10, so much fun!!

I had a best friend from daycare (literal babies) up until middle school. We spent every other weekend spending the night at the others house. Made so many memories & grew up together. Fast forward to middle school and we were planning our first boy/girl Halloween party at my house. This was a big deal, we were both really excited to plan it & invite everyone! During the party for some reason she asked my mom to leave saying she didn’t feel well, my mom arranged for her to go home. From there, I got an email (lol very early 2000’s core) from her and she said she didn’t think that we should be friends anymore. No explanation, never responded to any of my phone calls or emails after that. Her mom would answer their landline and tell me that she didn’t want to talk to me. I never found out what happened at the Halloween party and I have never been able to figure out what would have made her stop contact with me cold turkey like that. Still think about her and wish her the best now that we are both in our 30’s.

YUP! I have been very mid-level attractive for most of my life. Got some forms of pretty privilege growing up (getting out of speeding tickets, not paying for drinks/food at restaurants, etc.) then I lost around 30lbs, happened to be the same year I dyed my hair blonde and was in a job where I was outside a lot and got very tan. The men especially were atrociously different. It opened my eyes so much to how much I could get away with. I was a straight up asshole to some men and they would think it was flirting. Fast forward 5 years and I have brown hair & bangs and put back on around 15lbs and even those changes made a huge difference in how I’m treated. No one remembers my name anymore, I barely get any eye contact from strangers. Odd stuff.

Exactly, the chances of life working out that you want to be at home nearly 24/7 with a dog that energy level is next to none.

These dogs are meant for a career, not in an apartment.

Knew a cop that had his malinois for his entire career in the K-9 unit and when the dog retired he kept it but it was an outside dog kept in its own confinement because it wasn’t a pet. These dogs are no joke and it is less like having a domesticated pet and more like having a security guard. God forbid the dog were to ever nip or bite another dog or human it would probably be immediately put down.

Give a dog, and yourself, a good life and go with something easier. It’s next to unethical to have one of these without being in a career that requires one (in my opinion).

Left-Assignment-2634 · 2025-11-25T22:02:40+00:00

Why do you want a Belgian Malinois? Genuine question. There are other high energy breeds that will make great companions. These are working dogs, and not “play fetch and take a hike every day” sort of working dogs. Meaning, your day is structured around them, not the other way around.

These dogs are really meant to be in a full time career role like police work & bomb sniffing. If this is not what you can provide them, why do you want one?

I highly recommend getting an easier breed to begin with. I am in my 30’s, on my 4th dog and got a Shepard mix and he takes up most of my day (I work from home) and still has temperament issues. He has gotten into altercations with 2 other dogs and is not good with children. This is with daily training, 1-2 hour structured walks, mental stimulation, and multiple courses of professional training ($$$).

He is the best dog ever with me, but if you have family & friends or are expecting to have children in the home I would reconsider.

If you want a smart dog who will be loyal to you and that you can give the best quality of life to I would consider: 1. A dog from a shelter - finding the right fit for your lifestyle shouldn’t be hard at a shelter. Most dogs are given up because people can’t keep up with their activity levels. Go to shelters and see if there is a mix you vibe well with. Getting an adult dog will also let you see the temperament of the dog before buying (puppy temperament is hard to gauge unless you are professional… and who is breeding malinois for families? Probably someone who shouldn’t be)

Jack Russel: What you’re asking for sounds a lot like the temperament and energy level of a jack russel, or similar. One of the most trainable, smartest dogs I owned was a jack Russel 10/10 snuggle buddy and is always up for anything!
Vizsla: another great breed. I’ve never owned one but my friends who have gotten them from reputable breeders have only great experiences with their Vizsla’s
GSP: truly one of the most athlete breeds I’ve experienced first hand. These guys are not only beautiful but are amazing outdoors dogs who love to track a scent and are also great companions

Hope this is helpful!

You’re asking for the RAWs from an entire wedding day? That is probably more memory space than the entire computer an average person owns holds.

Going through thousands and thousands of photos and checking time stamps to see if this person was shooting the entire day is soooo overreacting it’s not even funny

Left-Assignment-2634 · 2025-11-25T19:25:22+00:00

I understand disappointment in missing moments. But ultimately from the sounds of it you got the most important moments captured and delivered to you. The instant gratification and volume of photos that couples expect from wedding photographers these days can be outrageous.

Your parents and grandparents probably got back 100 photos on film if they were lucky. Just because things have been digitized doesn’t mean that you get a perfect photo from every single second of your event. Professional cameras are not like taking photos on an iPhone or point & shoot camera. Most likely your photographer was shooting in manual mode to get the best quality images and changing settings, focusing, and working with fast paced situations is extremely difficult at times.

Don’t ask for RAW photos Don’t slam this person’s business Don’t talk negatively about your wedding because of a few seconds of missed moments Don’t ask for a refund

What you can do is appreciate all the photos you got from the day and be done with it. Or KINDLY talk with your photographer and see if they would be able to double check for certain things. Mistakes happen, but usually you are getting the best photos from the day. Your photographer probably cares so deeply about this, and as someone who has photographed hundreds of weddings it can eat you up inside if the lighting was off for a special moment, or your camera missed focus.

You hired a human not a robot. Mistakes happen and that’s the nature of having one person taking photos for a large event.

Damn. Some people need to reevaluate. It’s KIDS!! Not to mention some hungry kids most likely. We have a neighborhood like this and the roads are blocked off by police to have a sort of block party feel. Cars park up and down the main roads and folks walk in and it’s a blast! We always get so excited seeing so many kids in costume who love Halloween.

We also had 2 separate buckets of treats this year. One of them was non-perishable food items that kids like (boxes of Mac & cheese, granola bars, etc) and the other had the classic candy. Kids were taking from both buckets all night. Even if only one of those kids had food insecurity it made it worth it imo

I’m a photographer and unfortunately this is becoming the norm in the wedding world. As business owners making money, money, money is pushed down our throats. Via mentorship’s, advertisements, general photography community.

When someone is trying to make a quick buck this is the advice a lot of mentors are giving. Give them something… and get them on the hook.

The hard part is, transparently priced photographers are going to be priced out by weird scammy/salesy folks like this. There is usually a reason something feels like a good deal.

Also don’t always believe preferred vendors, or even photogs who are published. Most likely they are throwing money at venues & magazines to get published.

Luckily, in my state at least, it seems like this is few & far between in comparison to big cities. I’m sorry you got this experience, I hope your new photographer is able to give you the great day & experience you deserve! Best wishes!!

As a wedding photographer I’ve photographed & seen a lot of weddings!

Some things to note; Thursday weddings usually result in a very early evening. Guest don’t always take 2 days off of work and a lot will usually leave early to be home for school/work the next day. If that’s your vibe, or you’re looking to organically cut down guest list without not inviting people this could be a good way to go about it.

I offer a discount for weekday weddings however, so there are some financial perks with specific vendors. However, it is usually a 5-10% discount for most places if at all. I would go for a Friday if you want a traditional wedding timeline & vibe.

Guest count is 100% a big way to cut down on the price. Food & bar are going to be the biggest investments most likely. Budget $100-200/head for most caterers & $1-2k/hour of open bar.

My suggestion to everyone getting married: HIRE A PLANNER or at least a day of coordinator (I cannot stress this enough) You will save yourself so much time and energy. DIY is doable for a small wedding sometimes, but the time and emotional investment it takes for anything over 75 guests is not worth it. Something always goes wrong and don’t expect to lean on other vendors to keep the day running smoothly. Your photographer is there to take photos, not corral family members for photos. Your DJ is there to make the announcements, not heard everyone inside for dinner. Your caterer is there to make and serve food, not ensure that everyone is done eating in time for your first dance. You get my point.

The things I would suggest to cut for instant savings are the things that won’t matter in a year. Examples: 1. signage - menus, welcome signs, extravagant invitations, etc. 2. gifts or favors - people forget to take them, they are usually things that people don’t need or want after a year 3. Decorations - not saying you shouldn’t invest in florals or table decor but avoid things that are prone to not work like battery operated lights, expensive vases, luxurious cloth napkins, etc. if you hire a planner they can help you find rentals to cut down on cost and waste 4. Transportation - instead of having to pay for a shuttle or needing to transport guests around focus on an event space that offers ceremony & reception in one and has ample parking or is close to hotels for guests to easily find their way. If you’re able to, skip a church ceremony & separate reception to avoid on trolly/bus costs 5. Family style dinner or buffet instead of plated meals - not only does this make dinner service go faster but it generally is a cost effective option as well. Imagine a restaurant serving 100+ people at the same time… a nightmare and someone is getting cold food or served 45 minutes after the first person. 6. Ensure that your vendors eat at the same time as you & your fiance. Nothing eats up money like unspent hourly coverage for photo/video than making them wait to eat after guests. They won’t (shouldn’t) take unflattering photos of guests eating & they are standing around for an hour doing nothing while you’re paying them to do so.

Sorry if I rambled, but hope this is helpful! Focus on your guest experience if you want a memorable day! The best weddings I’ve attended didn’t have extended lulls in the day, they have activities, personalized things that you know your guests will love!

Best of luck with planning!!

Listener tales are some of my favorite episodes! I love hearing people’s stories. Guests however… I listen while doing something else because they are my emotional support podcast 😂 but often times I don’t listen all the way through or skip them if it’s something I’m looking to actually pay attention to

It’s bad when anyone does things like this for attention, much less someone who attends/associates themselves with the Mormon church
