About Kyle

He’s a funny guy, our Kyle.
 
Having been with us since our 3rd guest interview, he adds humor to our productions. You can see his editing in action in our ads – dare you not to laugh out loud while watching.
 
It is amazing how he manages to take our big, silly, sometimes over the top interviews and somehow make sense of them.
 
He likes cookies (watch him drink wine in his own interviews, he grimaces with every sip), Star Wars, and typing out the word “braggadocious”. He also co-hosts a comedy/advice podcast with his fiancée called Roommate Lovers – it’s not “good” advice but it is “advice”.

His Favorite Videos & Why:

1 – Love this heartfelt story and it changed my mind on the concept of kids at a wedding.

2 – Pure narcissistic reasons.

3 – Because, as someone who just planned a wedding, I did NOT KNOW ABOUT THOSE FEES HALP!

Featured Question

Q: Is there really a wedding mark up?

Do you feel like the industry charges more “because it’s a wedding” and they know it’s an emotional purchase?

Do companies think that they can charge more for weddings since the bride and groom may be willing to spend more on their dream wedding?

Hey wedding pros – is this higher price tag justified? Why? Do you charge more for your service if it is a wedding?

This is a taboo topic, whispered but not discussed… until now.

    I have been asked this so many times... does the wedding industry inflate prices when they hear it's a wedding?

    Here is my honest answer (as a former wedding photographer)... NO. Did I charge more for a wedding than a 50th birthday party or a family portrait session? Yes, absolutely. I charged A LOT more for a wedding.

    Was I taking advantage of the emotional sell? Absolutely not.

    The main reasons I charged more for a wedding were: the unseen amount of work involved in the 12+ months leading up to the wedding, the skill level needed on the day, the INTENSE pressure to create perfect "portfolio level work" no matter what the reality of the situation- but mostly it is to compensate for the time AFTER the wedding in post production.

    Little known fact about wedding photography - the real job is sitting at a computer editing photos. Photographers spend many hours behind the computer carefully selecting and editing photos. They make adjustments, crop, and adjust colors to ensure each image it's best. Don't forget the time it takes for batching, renaming, importing, exporting and uploading the photos and preparing them for delivery.

    Do you think this justifies why photographers charge more for weddings than for other types of shoots?

    Couldn’t agree more! And on the videography side its an absolute ton of data + editing discipline.

    Its a double sided coin- weddings are extremely high pressure but also high reward when we nail it.

    Our products (photo video) in particular are the only thing that genuinely will last forever . Having fun and ALSO nailing the product is worth the price of entry and frankly more.
