Behind the Scenes of the Hawaiʻi Wedding Industry | Tessa Gomes & Joseph Esser | HOWNH Ep 218

Tessa is a veteran wedding planner and Joseph is an incredible wedding photographer, and together they launched "Unveiling Paradise" – a podcast focusing on destination weddings. They shared stories from working at countless weddings throughout the years, wedding trends they like, and how they each got into their careers (somehow their paths involved a PhD and culinary school?!). We also talked about how the wedding industry was hit during the COVID lockdowns, and how they got together to advocate for our community of wedding professionals.
