Mara & Finch Weddings's 30-Day Calendar
Each piece is a fully planned content brief.
Full Production Packs are showcased on featured samples.
Posting times shown in Pacific Time (PT) — adjust to your audience's timezone in your scheduler.
Week 1
The photographers who disappear into the day
The groom who froze for every camera — and how asking about his dog fixed it in twelve minutes
What 'blending in' actually costs a photographer in prep, positioning, and the willingness to look like a guest
POV: you are a wedding photographer and your entire job for the next hour is to become part of the furniture
Week 2
The decision behind the frame
The 'main' moment is rarely the best frame — what was happening in the row behind the bride during the first dance
The frame everyone scrolls past — and why the maid of honor pressing her lips together matters more than what the couple was doing
Two photographers compared cards after a wedding they both shot — and discovered they had covered the same thirty seconds from opposite sides without coordinating
Week 3
Light, place, and doing the homework
A 2 PM July first look is not a timing problem — it is a direction problem, and scouting the venue in advance is what solves it
We got the photos — and they didn't feel like ours: the June wedding where skipping the venue scout cost twenty minutes of the portrait window
How open shade actually works — and what changes about finding it depending on your venue's orientation and the hour of your ceremony
Week 4
Two people, one day, no splitting up
What does the second photographer actually do when both photographers are covering the same room — the real answer is not what most couples expect
The same thirty seconds of ceremony covered from opposite sides — how two photographers coordinate without a signal or a plan
If you have ever felt like your photographer was watching you instead of the room, this is what we built the studio to fix
