Wedding Talk is 6 months old!

Hello! Because I am SO SHOCKED but also SO HAPPY that we have made it to 6 months we're working through a little compilation episodes where I have pieced together some amazing advice that have been given out by our past couples. What a task it was to choose the advice for this episode, there has been so many great things said.

Industry Professional ep 06: The Big Day Events and Content

In this episode I talk to Claudia from The Big Day Events and Content. Claudia founded her content creation business during her own wedding planning when she realised that there wasn't enough people doing this in Australia. They just celebrated their one year birthday which makes them one of the first companies in Australia to be doing this!
Claudia speaks candidly about what is involved in content creation, from the time that they get to the bride, then capturing all the moments from the day (literally all - prepare yourself for 3000+ pieces of content!) to giving clients a 12-24 hour turnaround for receiving everything.
