EP20 - Spotting Red Flags: Clients Wedding Photographers Should Avoid

In this episode, Manav and Kartik discuss one of the trickiest parts of the business: identifying red-flag clients before it’s too late. From clients who haggle endlessly on price to those who show up to consultations with their parents in tow, we cover it all. We also chat about the ones who ask overly technical questions like, “What camera do you use?” (spoiler: it shouldn’t matter!) and those who insist on constant phone or video calls when a quick email would suffice. And let’s not forget the infamous “unrealistic inspo” clients—sending photos of extravagant celebrity weddings from halfway across the world while planning a backyard ceremony. Packed with personal stories, laughs, and advice, this episode is a must-listen for wedding photographers looking to protect their time, energy, and sanity.
