Everything Everywhere All at Once… But Make It Wedding Details

The not-so-secret society for wedding creatives

Second shooters, wild timelines, planner expectations, and actual friendship forged through wedding-day chaos? We’re covering all of it in this convo with Jimmy Lick of Second Society—the platform that’s making it way easier to find second shooters you can actually trust. We talk about the (very relatable) mistakes we made early on, why second shooting is way more than backup coverage, and how approaching your team like a strategy, not an afterthought, can completely shift your brand, your galleries, and your stress level. Also: blushing, British accents, and a story about hiring a friend that might just change how you build your team forever.

Everything Everywhere All at Once… But Make It Wedding Details

Hot take: Details are dramatic. Whether it’s planners begging photographers to straighten a spoon or TikTok coming for our flat lays, the group chat has officially spilled onto the podcast. Charla and Jennefer talk about what clients really want, what vendors actually need, and why shooting beautiful details is still worth your time (and then some). Consider this your permission slip to stop overthinking and start storytelling.

We talk about: * Life and business after divorce * Raising kids with ADHD while living with ADHD * Creating structure when your brain and schedule want to do anything but * Choosing excellence—and refusing to settle * The real reason 40-hour workweeks are unnecessary (and honestly, a little absurd) Whether you're neurodivergent, a single parent, or just tired of feeling like you’re drowning in your to-do list, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently—and still win. 📍Also mentioned: Doechii, Derek Shepherd, Grey’s Anatomy, and the exact ADHD brain hacks that actually help.
