165: Are Wedding Photography Agencies Just One Big Red Flag? with Josh Huggett

If you and your fiancé have been bombarded with targeted ads on socials from faceless wedding photography and/or videography agencies promising huge limited-time discounts and “handpicked creatives,” or if you’ve heard stories about engaged couples not receiving their photos from agencies or being unable to contact anyone in person, I think you’ll find this episode very interesting.

Today I’m chatting with Adelaide-based sweary firestarter, Josh Huggett, who helps to unpack what’s really going on behind those agency offers, what’s risky versus what’s just clever marketing, and how you can make sure your memories aren’t treated like just another booking. Josh shares when agencies can be a great solution for certain couples, when they’re nothing but a big red flag, and the key questions you and your fiancé need to ask before you sign anything.

After this episode, the Unbridely Podcast is taking a 4-week breather, and I’ll be back with you, refreshed and ready, from the 13th of January 2026.

Thank you so much for listening, for your reviews that mean more to me than you may realise, for sharing the show with other engaged couples, and just for trusting me to be a small part of your wedding planning.
