I am a wedding photographer that has been eager to learn more about the luxury wedding industry and I cannot wait to learn more from these two! The first couple episodes were already a hit and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to dive in to the luxury wedding market!

    five stars
    James and Otto skillfully guided the conversation, allowing Lynn Easton to shine and share her wealth of experience. The podcast offered a rare glimpse into Easton's world, making it not only informative but also deeply personal. It's not every day that you come across a podcast that manages to strike the perfect balance between personal and education, and this one certainly nailed it. If the quality of content and the captivating nature of the discussions are consistent, then count me in as a regular listener.
  • Ethanharris5711
    Fantastic knowledge for Wedding Photogtaphers!
    I just listened to the first two episodes of this podcast, and it is simply invaluable… Most photography podcasts are a single photography business owner that brings on different wedding guest… But the fact that this is two elite wedding photographers, who have teamed up and worked together for years and they are bringing on other luxury Wedding experts… The knowledge I gained in the first two episodes is invaluable. For any wedding, photographers stuck in their business. Want to make more money and be more successful… You definitely need to follow this and listen to this. This podcast is going to be huge in the next two years.
  • getmorecreative
    I can already tell that this will be my new favorite podcast!
    I’ve been following James & Otto’s FB group for years now, learning what I can from industry experts and picking up things here and there from the group, but this is a whole new level of education. I’ve been waiting YEARS for James & Otto to drop something like this and I ran to Apple Podcast when I saw the first episode was live. Luxury weddings are a whole different beast and having regular guidance in my ears from James & Otto and their phenomenal guests is going to be metamorphic my business!
  • Audeyshen
    So much insight and can't wait for more
    I absolutely loved listening to Through the Lens of An Elite Planner. James and Otto ask such thought-provoking questions, and the answers that Lynn Easton shared were so insightful. There were major takeaways regarding how to strengthen the planner/photographer relationship, which I will now put into practice for my own business. Really looking forward to learning more in future episodes.
