00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: so excited to find out why. Uh do we need

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: to cover anything about the big show, the Wednesday show

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: before we can move forward? It's a great show, great show.

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: We hammered out another home run. Everybody boom that we

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: guessed the secret news anchor Butt Holer. We all guess

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: who it was? Can we say who it was? Or not? Well,

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: when you say butth Holer he explain what that means.

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: So somebody who's a hunky ABC former ABC news anchor

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: is supposedly a nudist, So we're all guessing who it

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: wasn't We did not guess it on the air, but

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: we guess it off the air. And the nudist to

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: me is a butt holer because you're just walking around

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: sitting on everything. We bot hold out. So I don't

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: think we could say the the story because the reason

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: why Rob can't say it is because he can get sued.

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: We can say, permit, we just guessed it. Yeah, it

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: to Andrew Cuomo. Yeah, there you go. It's he sits

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: running but holes his furniture. Who cares? Why are we

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: making such a big deal out of it for a

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: governor who family? Can you imagine going up to Syracuse

34
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and going to the governor's mansion. You see a little

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: brown dots on all the furniture and you want to

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: be naked in your house. That's all good, but there

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: it's all But he not Syracuse. We should move the state.

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't. Doesn't the former governor also have nipple rings?

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the big one? So Phil is here, Phil

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: uh to tell the story. Again. Phil used to work

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: on our show years and years ago, and then he

42
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: left our show and became this superstar in the photography world.

43
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he shot some of those

44
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: beautiful some of those beautiful, beautiful shots at people's weddings,

45
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: and uh he got what a job he did at

46
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: our wedding several years ago. We saw him the other

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: night close to the microphone. What's that I've made my

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: go around at this table. Yeah, many different ways. Tell

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: us didn't. Wasn't even a doubt, like we're getting filled

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: because he's oh wait, wait, you didn't for what the wedding.

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: We weren't invited to that one. The only way we'll

52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: ever see that wedding is through Phil's photography. So basically

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: Phil has done most of this table. So of course

54
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: he was at Sam's wedding the other night. So next

55
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: week we have to all get together. Froggy's flying in

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: for a very special morning show uh photo shoot and

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: fills in charge. So we're here for you to tell us,

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: give us some tips on how we can maximize our

59
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: time together and look great for these photos. What do

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: we wear so clothing wise optional? No, I would say

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: dress like you unless there's some kind of specific outfit

62
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: that they want you in. Be as you as possible,

63
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: because when you take a picture, you want to see you.

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to see made up version of who

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. Right, we want you to be you.

66
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: So sky's the limit I guess as to what you

67
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: can wear. Um, well, I tell you this. The people

68
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: who think they are our bosses who aren't, are suggesting

69
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: certain outfits, right Andrew, and Andrew, he's busy with the movers,

70
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: He's right there, he's here. Andrew has been in contact

71
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: with one person in particular that it's just the worst. Hey, Andrew,

72
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: can you hear me? Yep. So we're talking about with

73
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Phil about our our photo session next week and what

74
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: wardrobe should be. So the people at Premier are saying

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: they want us to dress a certain way, and we're saying,

76
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: fuck you, We'll do what we want. What are they

77
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: suggesting we wear? So the casual outfit? Maybe if we

78
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: all want to pick a color that we kind of

79
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: all match in this way. We don't have some green,

80
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: some red, some blues, some pinks, some oranges. What's wrong

81
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: with that? I like a lot of different colors and

82
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean it makes more fun. Yeah, I think that

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: would look good. I think do colors great? Don't go

84
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: to match you, match you. We don't want this to

85
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: look like a Chris This card, definitely, although we do

86
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: also have to take a Christmas card, so be aware.

87
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Um so uh yeah, just not too many colors like

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: casuale and then give us a color number. That to

89
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: an Indian person, that's all we do is too many cards.

90
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: I will give you a pantoe number prior so you

91
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: can match the pantone. Here's one thing I will tell you,

92
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: whatever you do wear, don't let it conflict with your

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: skin tone. Conflict perfect example, see how you're wearing a

94
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: bright orange shirt right now, Yes, don't do that. The

95
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: brightness of the color on you will bounce onto your

96
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: skin complexion and you kind of blend. So who could

97
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: wear this shirt? Well right now to work? But ill

98
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: that thought for people watching this podcast. They don't see

99
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: scary where's this camera Diana's cameras, so they're watching, they're

100
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: watching bright orange shirt. Thank you, no shirt. I'm just

101
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: saying for Oh, I mean, listen, I'm wearing a Clark

102
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Griswold Christmas T shirt right now I wouldn't wear that

103
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: for a photo session, but try and stay away from

104
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: colors where if you took a picture of yourself, like, wow,

105
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: that looks really bright. Stay neutral. Neutral tones always work

106
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: the best, but not flesh tone because sometimes people look

107
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: naked and weird places like Josh Groban yesterday on whatever

108
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: show he was, Yeah, it looked like he was naked

109
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: under his jacket. What about Gandhi though she's dark, complexed

110
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and and and diamond, what should they wear? I would

111
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: wear colors that neutralize you like, So what colors would

112
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you normally wear on a daily basis? I wear a

113
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: lot of black. I also like royal blue, like a

114
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: sapphire blue color. I like green those. Okay, so you

115
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't wear something though that like Alvis just said, like, uh,

116
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: brain fart, sorry COVID brain neutral um, flush time, yes,

117
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: flushtimes for a photo exactly? No way. Do you see

118
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: how he's wearing orange kind of matches his fleshing? Okay,

119
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: all right, all right, all right? Can I can? Can

120
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: I do like a different color camussels underneath, like a

121
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: cute leather jacket type of thing. Those types of works

122
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: like leather. I'm doing leather we'll do leather together, leather too,

123
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: This is great, there's okay, it's okay, cal hide fabulous.

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: What else? Andrew? The people from who they think are above,

125
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: what do they say they want us to wear? Um,

126
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: So a casual outfit, something that shows off your personality,

127
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of like what Phil was saying. I think we've

128
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: all agreed. Nothing that's gonna be flesh tone or neutralize you.

129
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: But then they also want like a classier photo, more formal.

130
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: And that's where I stepped in and I said, we

131
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: can't make it look like we're doing like a like

132
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: a cabaret type of dealing to a formal Yeah, no,

133
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: none of that. So again formal but our version of formal,

134
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Which why do we pull off? Well, why don't we

135
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: just choose one outfit? That's it? Just bring an outfit.

136
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: Don't I love that? Ye don't bring a change of outfit. Really,

137
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: people in the back, we're just bringing one outfit. Well,

138
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: let's bring one outfit. Okay. Well, they only wanted you,

139
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: Danielle and Gandhi to do the formal ones. So I

140
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: guess maybe they thought you were doing a cabaret change

141
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: but maybe not like a formal outfit not a ball down.

142
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I have a ball. I think I'm

143
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: just going to bring a couple of different colored jackets. Yeah,

144
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: you want bring different jackets to put over what you're wearing.

145
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Perfect will change everything? Great idea, I'm in. I got

146
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: a questions. Great, is a white camisol okay? Or is

147
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: white not good? What's a camisole like a tank top?

148
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: I fancy? Or one? Um? What about wearing white? Bill?

149
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: How does that work? Wearing all white? I looked a

150
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: little pale in my wedding picture. I noticed about that

151
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: white shirt. I looked a little gone or one tone.

152
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even joking for me. It is for me.

153
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: It is for me. It is I take my shirt off,

154
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm like black alabaster. It's a kay, but just a

155
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: little hint of color. Yeah, but I would have color

156
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: on top of the white. That's fine, that's fine. I

157
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: can't do black because then my hair blends. Right. Somebody

158
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: who photographs people in white every single weekend, it obviously works. Yeah,

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's okay, it's fine. Can you make me

160
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: tan when you do the touch ups? You wear his

161
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: T shirt? Can you can you do stuff to remove

162
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: some excess fat? On my face. We have angles angles,

163
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: the angles, because there are plenty of times where like

164
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: I'll take a picture and I think, oh, that's a

165
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: great picture, and then someone else will take a picture

166
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: and I have seventeen chins. Yeah, me too. You just

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: thought heads up on that. For anyone who's ever worked

168
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: with me before, I'm notorious for saying, yeah, I hate

169
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: the way that looks. I'm going to tell you I

170
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I will literally look at you and be like, wow,

171
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: that looks like we have to Can you make my

172
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: forehead not a five six eight head instead, It'll be

173
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: a forehead. A lot of miracles here all of us. Hey,

174
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: can we talk about what it was like. We were

175
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: all in Santa Fe for our wedding and Alex and

176
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I were taking all these photos dozens of millions of

177
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: trillions of photos with Phil and at one point Alex

178
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: just stood up and said no, mar and he got

179
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: mad and stormed out. That was my favorite moment. That

180
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: was at the end of the wedding. We were like,

181
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: no if that was the night of the rehearsal dinner.

182
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: My my favorite part was on your wedding day when

183
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: we were walking through the streets, and you looked at

184
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: me and went, all right, phil you have ten minutes. Go.

185
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: The whole vision of doing all these amazing photos throughout

186
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: the streets, I mean, I went on a a search

187
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: mission to get all these different spots, and then we

188
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: get there and you're like, yeah, you got ten minutes,

189
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: so go. We were at the end of our rope.

190
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: But I will say it turned out amazing because what

191
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: we got was phenomenal. And yeah, you the two you

192
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: had an amazing day and the pictures show it. But

193
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: you don't feel your photography always always it turns out

194
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: extraordinarily perfect. I mean, if you what is your what's

195
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: your Instagram? Philip underscore Siciliano. I know everyone tells me

196
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: to change it, but if I change it, no one

197
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: will know where I am anymore. You can you can

198
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: follow find him from our follows too. Yeah, I mean

199
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: check all of these incredible photos. This this beautiful artwork

200
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: he creates his and his little girl is the cutest

201
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: thing in the Oh, she's adorable. We had Jack's on

202
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: the air today. She talked, we talked about Daisy May. Yeah,

203
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: but anyway, I want you to check out his photography

204
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: because it really if you can't get filled to your

205
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: wedding or your event. You can at least say, hey, photographer, person,

206
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: look at what this guy does and let them be

207
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: inspired by what you've been told. My page is a

208
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: good inspiration board. There's actually several photographers who come around

209
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: and they don't like it so much. I take it

210
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: as flattery, but the brides will go to them with

211
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: a packet of photos and say, hey, can you make

212
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: it look like this? And it's a bunch of my photos.

213
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: So let me just come to you and ask you

214
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: to do with them. Know there's that they could be

215
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: an Alaska or Paris. But how did you get into this?

216
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a great story. Phil was with

217
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: us doing radio and then all of a sudden we

218
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: all sort of win our separate ways. Then the next

219
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: thing you know, he's a superstar photographer. How did you

220
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: pick up a camera and get this started? So I

221
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: always kind of liked photography, it wasn't something that was

222
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: a passion of mine forever. Um My wife bought me

223
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: a camera for my birthday because right after we got married,

224
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I want a good camera. I

225
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: want to start taking pictures. And she said, you know,

226
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: you're good at this, why don't you start a small business?

227
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: So all right, you know I was a teacher at

228
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: the time. I said, I will teach during the week,

229
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: take pictures on the weekend. One thing led to another.

230
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: My first year a book six weddings, second year of

231
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: book twelve, third year of book sixty weddings. It was

232
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of a that's where you're supposed to be in life,

233
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: this is what you're supposed to do. The job found

234
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: on me. I didn't go look for it. And then

235
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: that when you do something that doesn't feel like work,

236
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: it shines through. Have you become judging about weddings now,

237
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: like you're going this food is ship. Well, I will

238
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: tell you this, being a wedding photographer and being at

239
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: a wedding every single weekend, it's very dangerous on the

240
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: stomach because if you talk to anybody, they'll all tell

241
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: you the same thing. The best food is at the

242
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: cocktail hour. And think about how you just engorge yourself

243
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: at a cocktail hour. Now try doing that to three

244
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: times a weekend. You know, you could choose not to

245
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: get in line at the cocktail it's just so tempting. Yeah,

246
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: what's the worst wedding you've ever been at. Oh god,

247
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: just like you know name, give us something about it.

248
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: Nate's in the room, Nate's wedding. I will say this

249
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: food wise was amazing because we actually went for pizza,

250
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: my favorite pizzeria and that's right. Yeah. We did a

251
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: photo shoot, which is actually, this is something that you

252
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: should recommend to people. Just do a day where you

253
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: do pictures with your significant other, where you with your wife,

254
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: your wife or your your husband, because it takes all

255
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: the stress off. Oh my god, we had such a

256
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: fun day driving around different parts of Manhattan in New

257
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: York City and just he's like, oh, get out of

258
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: the car, let's take a picture here. We don't even

259
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: know what to hang up in our house because we

260
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: have four dozen photos that are like, well, what about

261
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: this one? What about this one? What about that one?

262
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: He's just he doesn't take pictures. What do I say, Phil,

263
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: He makes pictures. You create art, you capture moments. I'll

264
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: back to the worst wedding. Well I shouldn't say worst wedding,

265
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean challenging. In the ten years that I'm doing

266
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: this ten years now, there's three brides that if someone said, yeah,

267
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: they got hit by a bus, I'd probably say, Okay,

268
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: out of almost, you know, eight hundred weddings, i'd say

269
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. But there was one wedding and it

270
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: was out a venue in Brooklyn, and caterers are usually

271
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: the biggest assholes there are, and I will never forget this.

272
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: We walked in, we had just worked about seven hours,

273
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: it was time to eat, and they said, listen, you

274
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: cannot go near any of the food. What are you

275
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: talking about. I purposely have in my contract I am

276
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: allowed to eat like a guest, fit like a guest,

277
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: drink like a guest, pretty much be like a guest,

278
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: and if you don't abide by it, I will create

279
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: my own rules for the day. They were not happy

280
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: about that, so I proceeded to order a pizza and

281
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: we waited outside until that pizza came, and we did

282
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: not make it in for intros. I said, where is

283
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: my photographer? And I said, we're waiting for our pizza

284
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: because your caterer said we cannot eat. Rather than being

285
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: treated like steerage, yep, hold on, hold on, I think

286
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of a pompous ass thing to do. Yeah,

287
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: if I paid there to take my pictures, you need

288
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: to have you get your accentery and take my picture.

289
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: We were there for the photos. But the thing I'm

290
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: not going to nourish you fuck you. So it comes

291
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: with the territory. I know it doesn't fuck you in.

292
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: And then you tried fifteen times more than all the others.

293
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: If I listen, if I'm gonna sit, if I'm gonna

294
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: be with you the entire day, and I'm gonna be

295
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: with your family, and I'm gonna be treated as an

296
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: equal with you for the entire day. When I get

297
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: to your venue, I don't get shot down somebody. The

298
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: energy to shoot those pictures is important. You've done so

299
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: many weddings after all these years. What are you doing?

300
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: One said, these couples are still together? Oh ship, um,

301
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: how can you get Well? I'll tell you this. There

302
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: is one way that we know that they're not together.

303
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: The wedding album process is the last phase of your

304
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: wedding photos. If I don't hear from you in about

305
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,919
