  • EP90 - The Photographer/Videographer Dynamic on a Wedding Day -- with Georgia & Micah, and Kristin Meuth
    Jan 5 2026

    Who should lead posing on a wedding day — the photographer or the videographer?

    We sit down with two wedding photographers (Georgia & Micah) and a wedding videographer (Kristin) to unpack the real dynamics of working together on a wedding day. From sharing space and pacing long timelines to managing ego, energy, and communication, this conversation gets honest about what actually makes collaboration work.

    We cover:

    • who should lead posing (and when it depends)
    • how photographers and videographers can support each other under pressure
    • why kindness, communication, and teamwork matter more than control
    • how keeping the focus on the couple changes everything

    If you shoot weddings and want smoother days, better collaboration, and a stronger client experience — this one’s for you.
