Dear Devlin – I can’t believe I am typing this, but I feel like a victim as unfortunately, another photographer has poached a client from me recently. They were booked with me, but someone slid into their DMs. They then offered this couple a discount if...
Dear Devlin – I think my wedding client is disappointed ? I recently delivered a wedding gallery that I am really proud of, and probably ranks in my top 3 of the year, in terms of overall quality. I’d really felt a good connection with the couple at all...
