We had three weddings in one day, so...

One of those three weddings actually was a lead that she reached out like over a year ago and didn't book with us.

Said she found some like photo video package, which is, you know, fine, whatever.

Messages me about a month ago.

So, you know, a month from her wedding.

And it turned out that the company she had hired is this company that's been going around that was AI-ing their images or something like that.

So she didn't trust them anymore.

Yeah, I guess they were taking, allegedly, I don't want to get accusive.

accusing anyone of anything, but apparently they were ripping off other people's wedding photos and videos and just replacing the couples with AI and saying it was their work.

So that is crazy.

You

know, you almost would feel like that's more work.

Yeah.

Just learn how to

shoot

photo and

just use your own photos.

Yeah.

Um, yeah, that, that's kind

of wild, but,

Um, yeah, you know, unfortunately by that point I was already booked and you were booked on a wedding So we had to put together a third team to take care of them because I felt really bad for them

Why did you decide to scrap together a third team instead of just saying no? I know you felt bad.

But like was there other factors?

Well, I just didn't want them to get screwed over again because there's a lot of bad apples out there obviously and I didn't really have anyone, you know, there's some situations where I just refer someone's studio.

But, you know, there I didn't really know anyone with their own studio that was available.
