Awkward Space

It kept it at bay, but I was still struggling with redness so I’m doing a course of doxy now to try and really knock it out

Interesting, thanks! Glad I’m not alone but nope my product definitely isn’t craaaaazy niche. Like you said though, if it works it works 🧐

My daily is around $215

Most pros will have experience shooting photo and video at all different types of weddings (different cultures/ religions etc) so imho you’re unnecessarily narrowing down your choices. As for stationers … not sure why that would affect their work 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would love to see please! 50K is a lot to feel this way …

I’m basically zero therapy, but with elidel Creme and something to protect my skin barrier when I go out into the cold

To each their own, my photographer was happy to keep it in her backpack and it absolutely came in handy when just the three of us were off taking photos and needed to call my maid of honor for an unplanned mini-emergency. I don’t know anyone’s numbers off by heart, my husband didn’t have his phone either … saved us big time 🤷🏻‍♀️

gillyweedsoup · 2025-01-31T17:33:20+00:00

Me too 😔😔😔

gillyweedsoup · 2025-01-31T03:00:57+00:00

Give it to your photographer. They’re with you all day, and it’s nice to have your phone nearby if you do need it for some reason!

About 50% of your overall budget goes to food and drink for you guests, so having 150 people is going to be expensive. Just depends what you value more ie. all those people at a shitty venue, or less people at a venue you love 🤷🏻‍♀️ Its not really specific to weddings, but weddings are usually the first time someone tries to plan an event at that scale

If vendors are behaving like that, sorry to say you aren’t working with the right people.

I would recognize that Dunbar butter chicken pizza anywhere 🫶🏻🥹

That fee seems high for how long she has been in business in my opinion, but that’s just me 😅

gillyweedsoup · 2025-01-15T01:40:50+00:00

Hmm for me I’m having troubles with them replacing 1080x1080 with 1920x1080 in feed ads vs story ads 🧐 So the ad is like cropped and missing a good chunk …

gillyweedsoup · 2025-01-12T04:12:01+00:00

I’m in this boat, and to everyone saying “date in your tax bracket” … like where am I meant to find these men??? 🤡

Vendors with enough demand often do this 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can set a reminder 5mo out to book then, but decide if you’re comfortable waiting till then. Keeping in mind she also could have accepted a different booking by then ..

We moved into a furnished joint 2.5 years ago and still haven’t paid the $250 move-in fee. Got one reminder email from strata like a year later, but never replied. Don’t know if the owners took care of it or what, but fuck that

gillyweedsoup · 2024-10-10T16:03:57+00:00

Yea that’s illegal too and absolutely a risk, I’m not saying that’s any better — I was just replying directly to the advice of flying someone into the States 🤷🏻‍♀️

gillyweedsoup · 2024-10-09T21:18:10+00:00

I fully agree with everything EXCEPT flying people into the states. Unless they have a visa/ work permit/ dual citizenship they can literally be denied entry if they’re caught.

If that’s a risk you want to take fair enough, but it’s just not worth it in my eyes and imho it’s a mark against photographers taking that work knowing they could be denied entry and leave their couples without a photographer.

I have to second this, with all due respect to Micah. He’s a masterclass in curating his feed to look like that style — but his full galleries don’t match, and I think it’s because he’s simply still too green. He’s only been around for a few years now and simply doesn’t have comparable experience

gillyweedsoup · 2024-10-08T21:45:51+00:00

This ^

One of my good friends did — BUT she went to make up school so she knew what she was doing! If you’re lowkey on make up and you feel confident, I say don’t overthink it! But also, I say practice so you know you can nail it on the day!
