Shoot Your Shot Photography Podcast

What the Masters can teach us about wedding photography

What does a $20M purse and a green jacket have to do with your wedding photography business? Everything.
In this episode, Tim and Lindsay record during Round 2 of the 2026 Masters to dissect why the world’s most prestigious golf tournament is the ultimate blueprint for the successful wedding photographer. We’re moving beyond the "vendor" mindset and talking about how to build a brand that commands the same respect as a defending champ.
