#156: Are Photographers Building Businesses or Just Audiences? (with Kareem Virgo) 26.05.2026 1ч 11минThis week, we're joined by Kareem Virgo - wedding photographer, educator, and one of the most recognizable voices in the industry. With more than 300,000 followers, Kareem has built an audience that most photographers only dream about. But that led us to a bigger question: are photographers actually building businesses... or are they just building audiences? We talk about the realities of social media in 2026, whether luxury clients care about follower counts, what truly separates a luxury photographer from someone charging luxury prices, and what clients value that photographers often overlook. We also get into some deeper conversations around representation, visibility, diversity in the wedding industry, and what it means to be seen. Kareem shares his perspective on navigating the industry, feeling underestimated, and the conversations many people still aren't having.__Reem's LinksInstagram // Website // YouTube__TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Do you want Elevate your post processing workflow?

#152: The Chicago AI Wedding Photography Scandal that Rocked the Industry 28.04.2026 1ч 7минThere’s a story making waves in the wedding photography world right now involving a Chicago-based studio that’s been accused of allegedly using AI-generated and heavily manipulated images, along with work that appears strikingly similar to other photographers’ photos, in its portfolio. An article by Photo Stealers (stopstealingphotos.com) breaks down side-by-side comparisons and overlays, questionable locations, and other inconsistencies that are raising eyebrows across the industry. In this episode, we dive into the story, walk through the evidence provided by Photo Stealers and other sources, and offer our perspective on one of the biggest controversies to sweep the wedding photography industry in years. If even part of this is true, it opens up a much bigger conversation about AI, authenticity, and what couples are actually hiring when they book a photographer.__Link to the PhotoStealers ArticleSupport PhotoStealers and their journalistic efforts by donating at the link below:https://stopstealingphotos.com/donate/—TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Do you want Elevate your post processing workflow?

#146: Is this the end of the "Vogue" wedding flex? 17.03.2026 1чVogue dropped the news that wedding vendors can no longer post their images with the photoshopped “Vogue” logo across the top—and the internet had thoughts. Is it even worth submitting to publications anymore? We get into that, plus why racist vendors need to exit the industry, the rise of bridal influencers sharing “wedding hacks” that don’t actually work, and plenty more along the way.—TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Want to up your SEO Game?

#145: Was there really a Wedding at the Super Bowl?!? 03.03.2026 1ч 3минWe dive into the viral Super Bowl wedding and the growing spectacle of modern weddings—why the world is watching, and what happens when deeply personal moments become public. From surprise City Hall ceremonies to the quiet, emotional weight behind the photos we capture, this conversation explores what weddings are really about and why this work carries more responsibility than people realize. Our ADHD was fully activated too, which led to detours into favorite wedding day snacks, elite candy debates, and why agenda books need to make a comeback. It’s chaotic, honest, and a reminder that weddings are about so much more than what’s in the spotlight.—TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Want to up your SEO Game?
