i'm just a little partial to today's star vendor, hot metal studio... they were the photographers for my wedding! i simply obsessed over their work, and then fell in love with their personalities. tif and jonathan (the cutie-patootie wife & husband team) really helped us feel relaxed and accommodated our every whim, including a drive up the road to the nearby alpaca farm for a few phenomenal shots! i'll let tif tell you a little about them...

when did you enter the wedding industry? what made you want to do so?
-Whoops, by accident?  We like to take pictures and shot a friends wedding for free.  It kind of snowballed from https://www.joom.com/en/best/danganronpa-figures. (we found out there were free cookies, so that sealed the deal)

what was your most glittering moment in your business (what are you most proud of)?
-Man that's hard.  Each wedding has a few of these moments in it.  It's really an ongoing thing.

what's your grit? what sets you apart?
-We love a unique wedding, and we're a bit unique ourselves.  

what is your favorite part of what you do?
-People!!! We've got a passion for loving on people, whether through photos or in life. 

please share a most memorable moment in your adventures in the industry. -One time, Jonathan had a fist full of sparklers thrown at his crotch by a drunk wedding goer.  That was memorable. 

please describe your ideal client, i.e. who will love you, what's your style/niche?
-Oh this is a good one.  We love personality and especially when it shines through your wedding.  We do this almost every weekend and couples are always surprising us with something amazing.
