In this latest podcast episode, Rahul Khona hangs out with the super cool duo, The Richters – Monica & Pol, who are all about alternative wedding photo and videos. They talk about what it's like dealing with the low bookings in 2024 and spill some secrets on how they stay on everyone's radar using social media.
We also chat about connecting with couples, staying true to their unique style, and even share Monica’s film editing process and Pol’s technique of mixing super 8 with digital for their amazing photo + films.
They also discuss about that weird feeling of being a bit insecure at weddings and how that actually turns up their creative juices. Plus, we have a discussion about the importance of not changing your style, sticking to your guns, and not following current trends that you don’t believe in.
