In today’s episode we’re sharing all the things we thought we knew, but really didn’t, when we started working in the wedding industry. Nothing is taboo today! We talk money, competition, comparison, knowing when to throw in the towel, dealing with loneliness, FOMO, strategizing your workflow, building wealth, and tons more. But, probably the most important part of this episode is a real-life story we share at the end that could have completely changed where we ended up today. You won’t want to miss this episode!

Welcome to C R Conversations.
We're professional photographers who've survived the unpredictable and grueling path that took us from rudimentary dreamers to fully self-employed business owners. From sleepless nights of editing to daring leaps of faith when quitting 9 to 5 jobs; we kept pushing for the dream to become reality and we did it together every step of the way.
In our 15+ years in the industry, we’ve acquired a wealth of information that goes far beyond camera settings and marketing dos and don’ts.
We hope you’re ready to take a deep dive into life behind the lens and so much more!
