This week on Our Creative Commune, Pete, Laura, Liam, and Bee dive into a whirlwind of topics! We brace ourselves as Google Gemini's AI delivers some hilariously harsh feedback on our podcasting style (are we really that insular?). Then, it's war stories from the wedding front lines: Liam shares his ordeal of shooting a wedding post-dodgy-fish-and-chips, and Pete recounts battling a painful eye infection mid-shoot.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OurCreativeCommuneWe tackle the big debate: how are content creators impacting the wedding industry, and are they really taking work from pros? Plus, a crucial heads-up on the UK's "Making Tax Digital" changes that all freelancers need to know.As always, we share our highs and lows, and issue an important alert about a "pervy caller" targeting photographers.

Imagine waking up the morning after your wedding, still basking in the glow of the previous night's magic, and receiving a link to a treasure trove of candid photos and videos from your special day. Within 24 to 48 hours, you can relive the laughter, tears, and joy through hundreds of unedited and edited moments captured by a wedding content creator. Sounds great, right?But here's the real question: “When is it a smart move to book a content creator for your big day, and when might you be setting yourself up for disappointment or even undermining the work of your professional photographer and/or videographer?"I've been inspired by the Brad and Karina podcast episode as they shared a few less-than-ideal experiences working with content creators and contrasted that against the times when they've worked with collaborative team players. I thought that it would be super valuable for you, to help you understand how the roles of photographer, videographer and content creator are very different and which one (or ones) you choose to book for your wedding depends on what you want to get out of it, where your priorities lie and your values too.When should you hire a wedding content creator and might it not be the best choice for you?

Welcome to my latest video! In this one, I am reacting to a video by Jessica Kobeissi called "Bride THREATENS DJ & Photographer After They LEAVE Wedding". As someone who specializes in weddings, I was intrigued by this video and wanted to share my thoughts with you all. Here is the original video: https://youtu.be/oKornTT3ch0 As we all know, weddings can be stressful events, but this video takes things to a whole new level. Jessica Kobeissi's video showcases a bride who becomes a "bridezilla" as she threatens the DJ and photographer after they leave her wedding. It's a shocking example of how emotions can run high on your big day. While this video may be entertaining to watch, it also serves as a cautionary tale for anyone planning a wedding. As a wedding professional, I always stress the importance of communication and setting expectations with your vendors. It's essential to have a clear understanding of what you're getting and what you can expect from your vendors. But what happens when things don't go as planned? This video highlights the potential legal consequences that can arise when a vendor doesn't meet your expectations. Lawsuits are never a good thing, and they can be costly and time-consuming. It's imperative to do your research and hire vendors you trust to avoid any potential issues. Overall, this video is a fascinating look at the wedding industry and the potential pitfalls that can arise. As a wedding professional, I always strive to provide my clients with the best possible service and mitigate any issues that may arise. I hope you enjoy this reaction video, and I encourage you to take a look at Jessica Kobeissi's original video for a deeper dive into this crazy wedding story. So, what are your thoughts on this video? Have you ever had any experiences with difficult clients or vendors? Let me know in the comments below! And if you're planning a wedding, be sure to do your research and hire vendors who are both professional and trustworthy. Thanks for watching!

I am reacting to a video online of a bride that filed a lawsuit against her maid of honor for crashing into her car. There are allegations of drinking, lewd conduct, fighting and so much more.

However, I do admit it's entertaining

Joe and I have some BIG FEELINGS about this topic, and you're gonna want to hear our thoughts.Tessa's key takeaways:Everyone tells me "I'll never watch my video again" or "I don't want to watch myself - it's so cringey" BUT, what if we tell you this video isn't about you?I watch my video to see my grandma laughing at my wedding (she passed away about 3 years after my wedding).My daughter watches my video (not me!!) to see my and my husband on our wedding day.Joe's key takeaways:Working with a company that can do both photo and video is a major WIN-WIN. They work together seamlessly like a well oiled machine.If you're hiring 2 separate companies, find a photographer and videographer who have a mutual respect for each other and understand the value they both add to the client's wedding day.You may not want a video of you for YOU to watch, but we promise that one day in the future, you'll wish you could see someone's raw emotions - parents, grandparents, friends or another loved one. That's what a wedding video gives you.At the end of the day, the only takeaways you'll have from your wedding are: your photos, your videos, your podcast BFFs, and the lifetime friendship you have with your wedding planner! :) Support us: patreon.com/unveilingparadiseSupport the showFind Us on Instagram:Unveiling Paradise @unveilingparadiseJoe @josephesserTessa @fredandkateeventsEmail us unveilingparadisepodcast@gmail.comWeb unveilingparadise.com

I am the owner/operator of a videography company and I wanted to react to a case on Judge Judy where a husband and wife sue their wedding videographer for thousands of dollars when they only paid far less for the service.
Wedding guest sues Florida caterer after allegedly being served marijuana-laced food According to a lawsuit, which was filed on Monday, Virginia Ann Tayor-Svoboda said she suffered "severe, permanent injuries" and became "immediately ill" after eating the food at the wedding. She alleged Joycelyn Bryan, who owns Joycelyn's Southern Kitchen Inc., was negligent in allowing marijuana into the food, and is seeking more than $30,000 in damages. She has demanded a jurat trial. The wedding took place on Feb. 19, 2022, at The Springs Clubhouse in Longwood, Florida. Seminole County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the venue after some wedding guests began to complain of stomach pains and vomiting. Some guests were taken to the hospital, officials said. Video from a deputy's body-worn camera showed a deputy ask the bride and groom if they authorized the catering company to put cannabis in the wedding food. One person responds "no, sir," while a woman appears to stare and does not respond. The bride, later identified as Danya Glenny, and the catering manager, Bryant, were both arrested and booked into jail on several charges, including tampering with food and delivering marijuana. Glenny, the bride, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to online court records. Bryant has also pleaded not guilty, according to online court records. A bride and her caterer in Seminole County have been accused of lacing wedding food served to guests with marijuana, according to arrest warrant affidavits. Around 30-40 people were at the venue and several complained of stomach pains and vomiting, authorities said. In two affidavits, authorities state that the bride and caterer have been charged with culpable negligence, delivery of marijuana, and violating Florida's Anti-Tampering Act, according to the outlet.
