About I'll Bring You Flowers

Welcome to I’ll Bring You Flowers with me, Sophie Cullumbine, wedding florist, bright frock, big earring, chatterbox. This new project was born out of the love of chatting to people who inspired me through lockdown, when I would sit and natter to others on a Friday night with a bottle of wine, on Instagram live. It was the most fun and I learnt SO much about these folk, from all walks of life. So I decided to turn it into a podcast! Here we are in 2024, the worlds a different place, but my love for life stories is one getting stronger! Follow me on @sophiesflowerco & @sophiecullumbine

Dutch Tilts, Doves & Disasters: Inside Wedding Photography with Hannah Brook

Hello and welcome to I'll Bring You Flowers with me your host, Sophie Cullumbine! This week, I'm joined by the wonderful Hannah Brook of Hannah Brook Photography — a documentary wedding photographer based in North Yorkshire who I met (and has since climbed Snowdon, Scafell Pike, and Ben Nevis with!) on the Fay Cornhill Reconnect Retreat. Hannah has been shooting weddings for nearly nine years, and in this episode she pulls back the curtain on what it's really like behind the camera. We dive into the biggest photography trends right now — from direct flash and Dutch tilts to moody desaturated edits and the infamous "Sepia Bride" TikTok drama — and Hannah shares why she stays true to her own colourful, documentary style no matter what's in fashion. The conversation gets wonderfully honest when Hannah opens up about body image in wedding photography, why she refuses to "liquify" her clients, and the moment a bride asked if Hannah was comfortable photographing her — a story that will stay with you. We also get into the business side of things: how Hannah navigated a slow patch, the power of word-of-mouth bookings, and why SEO is her current focus over paid ads. Plus: the full reality of a photographer's wedding day (it's a long one), the food situation (bring your own snacks), and the unofficial role of on-the-day coordinator that somehow always falls to the photographer. And you won't want to miss Hannah's wedding disaster stories — a falling swing that won an award, doves that bolted out of their basket like bats out of hell, and a bride who arrived an hour and forty-five minutes late after having her makeup redone… to look exactly the same. Find Hannah at @hannahbrookphoto on Instagram or at hannahbrookphotography.co.uk. You can find me here: https://sophiesflowerco.co.uk As ever, thank you so much for listening!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
