6. Level Up Your Wedding Entertainment - Nyquest Entertainment

Episode 30 has been seven years in the making. This week, I look back at my first seven years in the wedding industry as I embark on the next chapter of my wedding business. It will also mark the last episode of season one of The Alberta Wedding Podcast!

The future of the podcast is unknown after this episode as I will be evaluating the success of the first season and if there is a large enough market that will benefit from it moving forward. 

Thank you to everyone who has been a guest on the podcast and for all those who have tuned in to my weekly episodes. I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting this podcast from the Alberta wedding industry and I hope I can return for a second season. I love this community!

If you have enjoyed season one of the podcast, please do me a favour by leaving a review and sharing this show with others that you believe will also get a lot out of this podcast. The future of the podcast is dependent on you spreading the word. Thank you!

Adventure elopements! They’re not for everyone but more and more you are seeing couples opt to go down that route for their special day. I’m lucky to have Dave Fay with Worn Leather Media on the podcast this week to share his journey towards photographing epic adventure elopements for a living. If you are thinking of eloping instead of having a traditional wedding or you just want to hear two cool dudes (haha) talk about mountains, hiking and being true to yourself, this is a must listen.

Dave also drops so many tips and recommendations for photographers/videographers who are looking to lean more into the elopement market.
