    The Positive Episode!! Episode 61: In this episode we are joined by our good friend from across the pond, Steven Van Elk to get a more upbeat perspective on the current state of events!   We are fed up with all the negativity surrounding the wedding industry right now, so with the vaccine roll out going well both here in the UK and in the US things are finally looking up! We’re all coming into wedding season and although bookings are a little down from normal for everyone, it is safe to say we are all buzzing to get back behind the lens and infront of a wedding ceremony again!   Obviously it wouldn’t be an episode from one half of the Wedding Photo Hangover without some booze so we chat whiskies, our favourite films and also field some questions from the Facebook group.   Enjoy!
