  • The Best Part About Photographing Weddings
    Jul 29 2025

    Why do we choose to photograph and film weddings?

    In this never-before-released throwback episode, we share the real reasons behind our passion for wedding photography and videography — what keeps us going, what makes it worth it, and the parts no one else sees.

    We also challenge the common idea that people join the wedding industry for “time freedom,” and unpack the reality of what it takes to capture a wedding day from start to finish. If you’ve ever wondered what drives wedding photographers and filmmakers, this episode pulls back the curtain.

  • The Boujee Struggle in a Basic City
    Jul 21 2025

    Why does dressing well feel like a crime in the Midwest? In this episode of Feast or Famine w/ The Youngs, we unpack what it’s like to embrace fashion, design, and modern trends in a place where style is often stuck 18 months behind.

    From being called a douchebag on a night out to navigating the passive-aggressive culture of St. Louis, we dive into why trendsetters get side-eyed, how the Midwest treats "boujee energy" like a threat, and what it really means to stand out in a basic city.

    Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, or just someone tired of blending in — this episode is for you.

    We talk about:

    Why trends hit the Midwest way too late How dressing well makes you a target in certain cities The insecurity behind unsolicited insults What it means to stay true to your identity in a place that resists change 👉 Listen in and stay boujee anyway.

  • Our Wedding Day Nightmare
    Jul 14 2025

    You can prepare for the worst when it comes to photographing a wedding, but sometimes things go beyond that. That is exactly what happened to us. One of the biggest reasons we took a pause, as we mentioned in the previous episode, was getting t-boned in the middle of a wedding day. With our car totaled, waiting on police, we had to navigate making sure we were able to get the rest of the day captured, and deal with the accident. In this episode, we deep dive into the entire situation and tell you all the details of our real wedding day nightmare!

    If you haven't caught up, you will need to check out the previous episode about all the things that happened during our podcast break: https://youtu.be/6kw0-qvpOK8
