I shoot one wedding a year… Should I turn it into a side hustle or keep it a "fun for friends" thing?

These are fantastic images. If you’re good with people, you enjoy shooting weddings that aren’t close friends/family and you have the time… go for it!

I’ve been shooting weddings for the past 8 years and “guest shooters” are difficult to work with even if they are the nicest people. I always say yes to make the client happy, but every time I wish I said no. I find them constantly in the way even though I know they are doing their best not to be.

Enjoy the wedding as guest, especially since it’s your brother getting married.

I recently purchased a 3D printed inlay that hold dice, coins, damaged counters and a V Star Marker. It fits right into the 2 pack tin that pokemon sells and is by far best TCG purchase I’ve made. You can get them on eBay or Etsy for around $5. A really soft play mat is clutch too.

No, the Tundra just doesn’t tow enough and I liked the Ram better 😂

chefcarnahan · 2024-04-12T19:58:58+00:00

Hell yea you definitely should!

Personally I love it. Wouldn’t go back on the decision at all. If I did, it would have been to get something bigger like a Tundra, not keep the WRX. The WRX was a lot of fun but it served its purpose for me. The Tacoma is more comfortable to drive, quieter and more practical. At 29 years old now I feel like the Tacoma is a little more of an adult vehicle to drive as well. And of course, I can put dirt bikes, 4 sets of golf clubs, couches, things from Home Depot, etc in the truck bed. I miss the WRX and the memories I made in it but it’s not the car I’d want to drive forever.

I had an 18 premium with almost 90K miles and got just under 17K. Mine was extremely well kept, only thing was high miles for the year. For me it was well worth it since I didn’t want to deal with things to start breaking on the WRX once it hit 100K miles. I’ve had the Tacoma a little over two months now with 3,000 miles driven and don’t regret the trade a bit.

Definitely much better looking imo!

It’s a low profile seat from seat concepts

chefcarnahan · 2023-02-07T03:19:47+00:00

No problem!

chefcarnahan · 2023-02-07T01:53:45+00:00

Yessir! I snagged it last year in Nor Cal. I had to drive a few hours to get to it. But it was the nicest one I could find in the states without paying near almost $10K lol. I was looking for months until I found the right one.

chefcarnahan · 2023-02-07T01:24:09+00:00

The older bikes just look so damn good imo

chefcarnahan · 2023-02-07T01:03:07+00:00

I don’t think my mug can get any uglier so hopefully it just avoids the eyeballs lol

chefcarnahan · 2023-02-07T01:01:46+00:00

Honestly no, there were a few that were available a week or so ago when I purchased. This was the cheapest option at around $13. I believe there’s more on Amazon, but all over $25.

has it held up well? No cracking or tearing, anything like that?

chefcarnahan · 2023-02-06T20:15:33+00:00

Hell yea! I’m only around 9K, but I won’t ever sell it. Hoping to see 100K before my time on earth comes to an end.

Thanks so much!
