In this episode Gabby and Kari dive into the moments that they have been fired or gently let go by a client and then watched another planner get hired by that couple. Gabby also shares how she got hired by a couple that fired another planner and she's diving into the interesting facts of that scenario. We talk about how to handle the awkwardness and yes, even the hurt and how to move past it. It will inevitably happen and we want to make sure everyone knows how to handle it in the best way possible. Thanks for being here Jabbers, enjoy!

On today's episode we're chatting with Raphaëlle Granger all about curating your content to help attract more ideal clients. It's not always about getting better weddings but being able to tell a story through your content that you curate on social media.

Raphaëlle is an international wedding photographer based in Montreal, known for her deeply human, emotionally intelligent approach to documenting weddings. Blending documentary sensitivity with an elevated visual language, her work is rooted in presence, atmosphere, and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed but become unforgettable with time. Her photographs have been recognized internationally, including being named one of Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography. She has photographed celebrations across Canada, Europe, and the Middle East, and is known for creating imagery that feels both cinematic and deeply personal. Beyond photography itself, Raphaëlle has become increasingly recognized for her thoughtful perspective on curation, brand direction, and emotional storytelling within the wedding industry. Her work and education focus on helping photographers move beyond simply documenting what exists, toward intentionally building portfolios and businesses that reflect the kind of work and life they truly want to create. Whether photographing an intimate gathering or a multi-day luxury celebration, her approach remains the same: to create images that feel honest, timeless, and profoundly alive.

Hey Jabbers!

We're back this week with an episode chatting all about brides taking to TikTok to leave reviews or complain about the wedding industry and the so called "price gouging" and how it kind of feels like the new Yelp for vendors. We're sharing our honest thoughts on why brides are complaining, what's appropriate and not appropriate and how as vendors we can respond. Also, talking about ways that we can just avoid getting a video made on TikTok about our services. If you're living up to the services contracted for and going above and beyond, you're doing great! But if you're not providing the services that you contracted to your client, it might be time to step it up. Lastly, don't let potential clients complaining about pricing make you nervous and then you reduce your pricing, stay strong Jabbers, you know what you're worth!

Chime in and tell us your thoughts! Thanks for being here Jabbers!

Hey Jabbers! This week we're chatting all about the proper etiqette of inviting kids to a wedding or not and our honest thoughts and advice on how to handle the situation on both ends.

Kids at weddings can be a cute photo op or it might be guaranteed chaos? We're chatting about child-free weddings, family expectations, RSVP confusion, couples and guests being offended, and why this topic somehow becomes everyone’s strongest opinion overnight.

We’re talking about how couples can communicate their wishes clearly without sounding harsh, what guests should not assume when it comes to bringing their children, and how you can respond to this from both sides. Whether you’re planning a fully kid-friendly wedding or setting firm “adults only” boundaries, this conversation is all about navigating it with respect (and maybe a little less family drama). Thanks for being here and we hope you find this episode helpful!

If you’ve ever been on a wedding day where the vibe between vendors felt… off, you already know: it can make or break the entire experience.

In this episode of Just Another Biz Podcast, we’re talking about vendor collaboration and what it actually looks like behind the scenes, why it matters more than people think, and how it directly impacts your couples (and your sanity). Because a “dream team” isn’t just about a stacked vendor list, it’s about how well everyone communicates, supports each other, and shows up on the day.

Kari is sharing a real-life wedding fiasco that turned out perfectly in the end all because the team of vendors came together to make it happen! Whether you’re a newer wedding pro or deep in your wedding season era, this is your reminder that you’re not doing this alone and you shouldn’t have to. Remember, we're all in this together to make this day special for our couples, this isn't a solo gig. Team work is everything!

We'd love to hear your vendor collaboration stories! DM us on socials!
