From Wedding Photographers to Set Designers with Jada and David
This week on the pod, I’m so excited to be chatting with Jada and David about going from wedding photography to building full conceptual sets and creative worlds.We get into burnout, personal projects, and what it actually looks like to pivot and start creating the work you actually want to be known for.Meet Jada + David:Jada and David are a married couple and creative duo. Together, they combine set design, photography, lighting, and motion to create bold, visually striking imagery for musicians, designers, brands, and more. They collaborate closely on every project, handling everything from concept and set builds to lighting, photography, and video.They are currently working on a new personal project called The Attic Series, where they are building 25 sets and producing 25 shoots inside their attic over the course of 100 days, exploring what’s possible within a small, constrained space. Before stepping into this work, they spent nearly a decade as wedding and portrait photographers. In 2020, they shifted their focus and began building custom sets for their shoots. That decision led to their 100 Set Project in 2021, where they built 100 sets and produced 100 shoots in a single year, changing the direction of their careers.Today, Jada and David create custom sets for both personal and client work.Connect with Me:Join us at Summer Camp!Become a Member of Summer SchoolSubscribe here to our emails for updates on all things Summer School!Instagram: @summergrace.photo @the_summerschool Shop My Products:Summer Grace x G-Presets (discount code: SUMMERSCHOOL)Pricing GuideSummer Camp (2026)*Summer School is powered by Narrative — the AI culling and editing tool I use that supports my workflow without replacing my creativity.

Weddings Aren’t Content Machines with Chris Denner
This week I’m talking with Chris Denner about staying true to yourself as a photographer and not getting pulled into industry trends.Chris shares why “weddings shouldn’t be content machines,” how trends are leading to everyone creating the same images, and why leaning into what makes you different is what actually sets you apart.Meet Chris: Nice to meet you, I’m Chris Denner. I’m a crime-fighting vigilante and I know more Kung Fu than Bruce Lee. Okay….that’s not strictly true. But let’s be honest, it sounds way more exciting than saying that I`m a wedding photographer based in the UK. Basically I photograph for the loud & real couples who want big moments, creative images, and zero cringe, ok?Connect with Me:Join us at Summer Camp!Become a Member of Summer SchoolSubscribe here to our emails for updates on all things Summer School!Instagram: @summergrace.photo @the_summerschool Shop My Products:Summer Grace x G-Presets (discount code: SUMMERSCHOOL)Pricing GuideSummer Camp (2026)*Summer School is powered by Narrative — the AI culling and editing tool I use that supports my workflow without replacing my creativity.
