Have you seen the "Where were you in 2016?" trend on Instagram? I've been seeing it everywhere, and when I look back at that year, it's literally the year that changed everything for me.    In this episode, I open up about what 2016 looked like for me, which was the year I launched Hazel & Lace Photography and the same year my life was completely derailed by a serious car accident, chronic pain, burnout, and a ton of medical debt. When everything else felt uncertain, photography became the one thing that gave me purpose.   This conversation is for anyone building a business while life is throwing curveballs, whether it's working a demanding job, navigating health or financial stress, or feeling like you're behind everyone else. It's an honest reminder that success is rarely linear and that building something meaningful often happens alongside hardship, not after it.   If you're questioning your timeline or wondering if it's worth continuing, this episode will remind you why you started in the first place.   Apply now for the Dream Destination Workshop The 2026 lineup for the Dream Destination Workshop: Alaska: July 12-17, 2026 Iceland: August 2-7, 2026 Switzerland: August 10-15, 2026   Connect with Megan:   🔥 Join Stoked Academy!

Does the amount of time you spend editing photos make you want to rip your hair out? Editing is a huge pain point for elopement photographers. Whether you're drowning in galleries or struggling to create a consistent style, it's keeping you from the thing you want most, which is more freedom, more creativity, and a business that feels sustainable.   In this episode, I have my own editor, Christopher Wurzbach of LUXEDIT, to talk about ways to make the editing process easier. He shares the importance of defining and sticking to one consistent editing style, how to cut your edits down to one minute per photo, and the ways AI can actually help when editing. He also gives some tools, shortcuts, and systems that help photographers escape the editing cave.    If you're ready for editing to feel lighter, faster, and far less overwhelming, hit play now and learn how to take back your time and get back to the part of elopement photography that you love.    Connect with Chris:  LUXEDIT Website:www.luxeditlab.com/ LUXEDIT IG:instagram.com/luxeditlab/     Get help defining your editing style: www.editwithchristopher.com     Power Keys, editing tool: Website: getpowerkeys.com IG: @powerkeysapp     Apply now for the Dream Destination Workshop The 2026 lineup for the Dream Destination Workshop: Alaska: July 12-17, 2026 Iceland: August 2-7, 2026 Switzerland: August 10-15, 2026   Connect with Megan: 🔥 Join Stoked Academy!

If you don't think being an elopement photographer is political, think again. Between working on public lands, photographing queer couples, and running businesses as women, we are exercising freedoms that people literally fought for, and freedoms that could easily be taken away from us.    We dive into specifics about how politics and elopement photography are intertwined, why we feel so grateful for the freedoms we have today, and different ways we can honor those freedoms not only in our businesses but in our lives.    This isn't about one side versus the other; it's about staying aware of what's happening with the things that deeply matter to us and our couples.
