What happens when you get to a wedding day and the clients have a balloon release or some other activity planned that you know if incredibly damaging to the environment?

Do you still photograph it?

That's a dilemma I've faced in the past, and after speaking with Aida from My Wedding Season Podcast, I'm not alone.

So what can you do as a photographer to make sure you don't end up in this awkward position in the first place?

In this episode, I introduce two key terms when looking at your impact as a photographer or media creator - footprint and brainprint.

At the end of each wedding season, I sit down and do an energy audit across my businesses.

This slower time of year allows me to reflect on the months that have passed, and they help me to make sure that the work I do over the winter months is fully aligned with where I want to be going.

Do you take the time for an energy audit?

Does being a wedding photographer have an expiry date?
