Buckle up for a special on-the-road episode! This week, we recorded our podcast while driving to Canberra to capture a beautiful wedding. Amidst the long drive and endless road views, we dived into a whirlwind of stories that had us laughing, cringing, and counting our blessings. From Kartik’s wild trip to India, where he not only captured a stunning wedding but also gate-crashed another (because, why not?), to the nightmare of getting food poisoning and throwing up multiple times at the airport – this episode is packed with drama. And just when things couldn’t get worse, Kartik lost his camera bag! But in a twist straight out of a movie, he managed to miraculously find it. We also shared highlights from our recent Hawaii trip.

EP20 - Spotting Red Flags: Clients Wedding Photographers Should Avoid

In this episode, Manav and Kartik discuss one of the trickiest parts of the business: identifying red-flag clients before it’s too late. From clients who haggle endlessly on price to those who show up to consultations with their parents in tow, we cover it all. We also chat about the ones who ask overly technical questions like, “What camera do you use?” (spoiler: it shouldn’t matter!) and those who insist on constant phone or video calls when a quick email would suffice. And let’s not forget the infamous “unrealistic inspo” clients—sending photos of extravagant celebrity weddings from halfway across the world while planning a backyard ceremony. Packed with personal stories, laughs, and advice, this episode is a must-listen for wedding photographers looking to protect their time, energy, and sanity.
