Alex has been working professionally as a wedding photographer for well over a decade and has captured love stories in different parts of the world from Australia to Europe and Central America.

Alex has a wealth of knowledge and extremely useful tips for couples. We chat through how he got into wedding photography, his process in the lead up and with couples on their wedding day and some pearls of wisdom that he's picked up along the way. 

We LOVED chatting to Alex and hope you get as much out of this conversation as we did!

In this week’s episode we chat to Claudia and Andrew who got married at The Savoy on Little Collins St in the heart of Melbourne on Saturday, 4 February 2023.

Claudia’s niece Paulina initially reached out to enquire of their behalf about a DJ for their big day (including the ceremony) on the recommendation of their photographer, Meagan Brown (who we simply adore!).

The guest list included a large Latino demographic and people from all around the world so we were very excited for the prospect to spin a variety of tunes that wouldn’t ordinarily have the chance to otherwise.

Eddy had a blast for their wedding and it was so lovely to catch up with them again and reminisce about their special day.

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we loved recording it!

There is SO MUCH good music around and so many factors to consider when hand-picking tunes for a function. Often you have a mixed demographic with different ages, backgrounds and music tastes. Some people love to dance and some need a little more encouragement. How do Eddy and Aleks go about selecting what to play?

In this podcast, we shgare an insight into how she chooses music, including pre-gig and of course, throughout the night!

If you're planning your wedding, you might be overwhelmed with articulating what music you do and do not like as a couple.

In that light, we've created 8 playlists organised by musical “vibe”. We came up with these by reflecting on the types of clients that we attract and the best parties we’ve played to date. This resulted in a handful of playlists that represent the very best of the songs that make our weddings awesome.

Your music tastes may fall into more than one category but the main thing about these playlists is they transcend genres, decades and artists. They're grouped according to their overall "vibe"! We've uploaded samples of each of these to our Spotify, which you can listen to below!
