192: Pt1 - Love Hires and the Ripple Effect: How Things Change on Your Wedding Day with Wilson & Lewis Photography

In the wedding industry, there is an unspoken code: solve the problems quietly, smile and protect the couple's experience. But it has an unintended consequence, because it means engaged couples are making planning decisions without understanding what they are actually costing them.Tereza and Tony from Wilson and Lewis Photography have witnessed hundreds of wedding days from first light to sparkler exit and they are talking about love hires: what they are, why more couples are turning to them than ever before, and what really happens when an important vendor role is handed to a friend or family member who has no idea how big the job actually is.You will learn:Why the money you save on a love hire is rarely the full cost of the decision,What actually happens to the friend or family member who says yes, andThe knock-on effect that runs through every other vendor’s experience and ability to do their job on the day. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series. Part 2 continues the conversation next week, and Part 3 brings the practical, what to book instead. Plus if you do choose to go ahead with a love hire anyway, the planning tweaks that can genuinely reduce your risks.RESOURCESWilson and Lewis Photography on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilsonandlewis/https://www.wilsonandlewisphotography.com/Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
