FloInsider

This week’s guest is Jac The Hitcher - a wedding celebrant unlike anything you know. Jac’s approach to weddings is different from your average wedding celebrant in suit and tie. She loves to break every wedding rule in the book, runs Damned Romantic with her friend Ben from Kings & Thieves, and even sells her own celebrant merch. We chat about the importance of establishing a strong brand voice, with clear guidelines of how it speaks, looks and shows up.

Jeremy Beasley is a Facebook ads expert, film director, wedding photographer, and overall an incredibly curious and fascinating mind. A few years back, he sold a documentary that he made on Tiny Houses to Netflix! Prior to that, he was an international wedding photographer for several years, then left the industry and founded a Japanese knife company. Together with Jeremy we dive into the topic of allowing yourself to try new things without worrying too much about them being perfect and successful right from the start. The pace at which you create new things, is the pace at which you learn. Hence, ignore the unorganized ducks and imperfect circumstances. Stop waiting for signs from above. Follow your instinct and passions. Not all of them need to be life-changing decisions. Some, are simply there to make your life more fun and enjoyable.

After premiering FloInsider international with Leonie Cappello’s interview in German (episode #13), today we are bringing you our first ever Italian episode! Our host, Nadia Meli, interviews the wonderful Lelia Scarfiotti - a destination wedding photographer based in Italy. The topic of this conversation, while focused on the Italian market, is applicable to all wedding photographers anywhere. We talk about comparison, storytelling, and how we're all so infatuated with the trendiness of certain destinations for weddings, that we forget to appreciate and leverage what we have at our doorstep. Lelia pleads to lust less after the ‘cool’ weddings from Pinterest, and rather fall in love with the history and uniqueness of the place you live in and work at. Explore Lelia’s beautiful work on her website: leliascarfiotti.com. Or connect with her via Instagram: instagram.com/lscarfiotti This is also the last interview recorded by our lovely host, Nadia Meli.

In today's episode we chat with Chanel French, an award-winning, published Portrait Photographer and UX Designer, living and creating in Atlanta, Georgia. As Chanel specializes in self portraits, and teaches others how to embrace and master this whole process (via The Art Of You course) we dove deeper with her into the intentionally, logistics and the mindset one should have when planning a self portrait shoot. Because while the outcome may result in more self love, self acceptance and self reflections - it’s not always an easy and sweet journey. Apart from that, we break down the idea of trapping yourself into one Title and the unnecessary pressure you put on yourself, for not having everything figure out in life. Tune in and enjoy!
