burntoutandbroke

We’re Michael and Rhiley – a wedding photographer and videographer, each with our own take on what it means to work in the wedding industry. Michael runs Dargent Weddings, and Rhiley captures the big moments with Murphyfilm.co. We’ve got plenty of experience between us, but let’s be honest – we’re still figuring it out. That’s what this podcast is all about: sharing our journey, having open conversations, and being real about the ups and downs of the wedding world. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, we’re here to talk about the challenges, the lessons, and the things no one tells you when you’re in the trenches. So, if you’re looking for a relaxed, no-nonsense podcast where we speak our minds and share what we’ve learned, you’re in the right place. Join us as we try to find our way in the wedding industry – one episode at a time.
