Do you have a dream idea in mind but you’re unsure where to start or lacking the expertise to bring it together?

We’ll share practical advice and expert knowledge to guide you through the planning process, help you decide on your wedding theme, create your mood board and ensure a consistent look and feel from start to finish, getting you closer to creating what you want, with the budget you have.
Including plenty of interviews with vendors and industry professionals such as wedding stylists, planners, photographers, videographers, celebrants, florists, caterers, hire companies and more, you will leave feeling clear on your non negotiables, your overarching style and what comes next in order to achieve your vision.

Your Day, Your Way Weddings + Events Podcast
09. Supplier Secrets: Michael Briggs | It's a celebration, not a photoshoot with wedding photographer Briggsy
In today’s episode I have the pleasure of chatting with born and bred Yarra Valley wedding photographer Michael Briggs, better known as Briggsy. He’s shot over 400 weddings and he truly believes he has the best job in the world. His goal is to immerse himself in your entire day, capturing it as honestly as possible, so you remember exactly how you felt, every time you look at your wedding photos.
He loves bringing an energy and vibe to a wedding day that enables his couples to have fun and spend lots of time celebrating with everyone, while also creating some awesome couple portraits that you'd be stoked to hang on your wall.
In our chat, we cover:
- Briggsy’s wedding photography style and the mantra he believes in
- The often not very positive preconceived image people have in their heads about wedding photographers and how he’s breaking the mould
- The biggest compliment he can receive as a wedding photographer
- What he believes makes up 95% of the job and his thoughts on family photos
- The one thing he does less with his couples, that other photographers think he’s crazy for
- The pros and cons of a “First Look” and when you should definitely decide to have one
- His surprising stance on “Unplugged Ceremonies” that makes total sense
- His top tips for booking your photographer and ensuring you choose the right fit for you
- Why he recommends booking photographers and videographers that know each other and so much more
I absolutely loved this conversation with Briggsy - he’s so passionate and honest and very generous in sharing his tips for choosing your photographer and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
