Hey hey! Today we chat about a pretty dumb Lightroom glitch where the image doesn't skip when you want it to - and through our own testing we might've found a workaround! Tom also gets hustled by a Facebook Marketplace user - but Big T get the last laugh. We also chat more about the a9iii... what a beast!- - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, AustraliaSponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19...
Hi SnappersIn 159 Greg and Thom discuss a big shift in mindset when it comes to shooting weddings: that of shooting fewer portraits, and allocating less portrait time, and placing more emphasis on documenting the day as a whole, and shooting more like a photojournalist. Thom has also discovered the G.O.A.T of Lightroom shortcut key software: PowerKeys! - - - - - - - - - Your hosts:Greg is based in Northland, New ZealandThom is based in NSW, AustraliaSponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50%...
Yo yo! So Tom has a pretty savage road kill story that kinda kills the mood... then Greg tries to salvage it with a workflow epiphany. No matter how hard we try to talk about things unrelated to photography we keep seeming to make them link back to photo stuff!- - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, AustraliaSponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 - 20% of...
Greetings, SnappersToday's episode has some SERIOUS thicc topics and some mega deep cuts! First, we chat about FloGate - Pixieset's recent decision to kill off FloThemes, the Wordpress theme company we all know and love (and most of us use). Thom explains how he has already bailed and fully rebuilt his website with Kadence blocks. Greg then drops the bombshell that he's considering moving to a studio business model - taking bookings then sending out associate shooters to shoot the weddings, w...
Hi Snaps, so after some waffling and sausage eating, Thom and Greg get to the meat on the bone and discuss their Top 10 Tips for brides and grooms. This is nuggie country so bring your pickaxe and get ready for some great nuggie prospecting!- - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia - - - - - - - - -Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 - 20% off ...
THE SNAPPENING RETURNETH Hey everyone, we are back! Sorry it's been a while. Greg and Thom have both been traveling, and while we did take microphones with us and really wanted to record on the road, we just didn't get there. Super stoked to be back into it and record weekly again. In episode 154 we start off with a good old rant. We've noticed that some photographers keep their books closed for a certain future period, and then make a big fanfare about opening them up. In this episode we get...
Hey there, AI-SnappersLook, our industry is changing fast, largely due to developments in AI. Computers can now edit for us, and even cull for us! But is this a good thing? Is it ethical to have an AI system edit our photos? Is the quality the same? Listen in to hear our take on things. In this episode full of ranty goodness we also discuss Greg's coming storm-chasing adventure, heavy metal festivals, and how long after a wedding you should be delivering your photos. - - - - - - - - -Yo...
Hey heeeey kids!!! Episode 152 is live and oooh it's a good ranty one! We speak about pricing - where is the balance between too many bookings at a low price and too few at a high price? We chat about a great way to send photos straight to the Photos app for easy social media uploading. Then we get to the meat of the bone about Content Creators... are they they annoying and intrusive or the next big opportunity?- - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is base...
Ok listen... the cat's out of the bag - Thom can't stand film photos at a wedding. He lies down on the velvet chaise lounge and vents his frustrations - to a very receptive Greg who basically feels the same way. Also - the Canon R3... we tried one and have in depth comparison to Sony. Then, thanks to Myckenzie Russell we have myriad questions to answer from her awesome Facebook post! Oh hey and Paul Walker - hope you're feeling ok after the 'lovely' feedback on your questions about your websi...
Wassssuppp!?!?!? Episode 150 is live - Thom and Greg talk gear today, as Greg is only a couple of months away from his next storm chasing trip. Thom has been scheming hard about having a single camera body at weddings - he's been eyeing up the Canon R3... We also touch on attracting your perfect clients and also helping clients have amazing weddings, without dictating or smothering them.- - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia ...
Hey Snap family! Listen, we all get hungry. Especially after standing and shooting for 6 hours. So it's supremely disappointing to find out our meal has been forgotten, or to receive a meal that isn't really filling. In Episode 149 we discuss our methods to make sure this never happens again! Thom also has a new Apple Studio Display, and some new lights. Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 - 2...
Hey snappers - where did the last eight weeks go? Well we’re recording today and we start off by getting into how terrible the weather has been in Auckland. What do you do when it’s a rainy day? Then we chat about what it’s like to take inspiration from other people's photography, or whether you’re better off to stick to your own style. And yeah the elephant in the room is how we kinda love blurry black-and-white photos now... after savagely mocking them a few episodes ago. The...
Hello, citizens of the Snap realmWe hope you enjoy our new looser format of recording! We basically just hit record and talk about whatever wedding-related thing comes to us - we love it. In this episode, we canvas a whole heap of topics including but not limited to the following: - How getting the bridesmaids on your side can really help your day go well- Music for your wind-down drive home - Being nice to makeup artists - Driving really far for weddings (and how this gets tiring) And a heap...
After a huge hiatus we're back at the microphones for some more Snappening goodness. Greg is lamenting over his first negative review, Thom is trying to not be so busy and we're both wondering if it's time to go to electric vehicles? - - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia - - - - - - - - -Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 - 20% off all pro...
We're back! It's been so long and we launch straight into the supernatural, cars and Greg has a Lightroom hack. But most importantly, Thom has some real world feedback on how putting his prices on his website has changed his lead numbers and conversion rate!- - - - - - - - -Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia - - - - - - - - -Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20...
G'day Snappers! So this week we chat about an age-old question that has been on photographers' minds for many years. Should we put our prices up on our websites for everyone to see? Or should we ask that potential couples contact us to receive this pricing?- - - - - - - - -Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia - - - - - - - - -Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 ...
Hey Snappers - This week we discuss Instagram reels and client red flags. Can you help us find the solution to turning down a client? Thom was confronted by a couple who didn't make it onto his social media.

Hey snappers - we managed to squeeze in an episode before Thom hits the road on his 6 month trip - but we promise we'll be recording as he goes as well. Today we chat about culling... it's the never ending saga of how to do it faster and easier and there are some compelling AI solutions that might be worth looking at. Also, Greg has a new business called Mountain Edits - www.mountainedits.com - which specialises in event and wedding photography editing. - - - - - - - - -Your hosts:Greg is bas...
Hey Snappers! It's mid autumn here down under - perfect photographer weather. In episode 140 things get a little heavy; unfortunately Greg recently had a groomsman get a little too touchy feely with him (similar to what happened to Thom last year), making things pretty uncomfortable. In episode 140 we unpack this situation and try to figure out how we could better deal with this if it ever happens again. - - - - - - - - -Your hosts:Greg is based in Northland, New ZealandThom is based in NSW, ...

Love this podcast. Hosts are genuinely likable and I've related to so many of the off tangent stories. Small insights into the photography world without being too heavy on anything technical, recommended for professionals in the business and newcomers too. Cheers. Matthew Bright Photography
