Episode notes

In this episode of Workflows, Scott Wyden Kivowitz is joined by the talented videographer and photographer, Vanessa da Silva, known for her unique perspective on consistency and efficiency in the wedding industry.

Vanessa da Silva opens up about her journey, touching upon the importance of consistency in photography and the common pitfalls of obsessing over minor details. She shares how tools like Imagen have revolutionized her workflow, ensuring consistency in color temperatures and photo quality. The conversation dives into the technical aspects of videography and the strategic use of AI to enhance efficiency in both photography and business operations.

Vanessa da Silva was born in Caracas, Venezuela, where she spent some of her childhood. That’s why she’s the exotic half of Vanessa & Ivo. Later, already in Portugal, she pursued her studies in Communication, and worked for some time in a Theater production company – that also makes her the dramatic half of Vanessa & Ivo. Who would’ve thought she would become a wedding photographer?

"It's better to focus on the overall style and consistency rather than getting lost in small details that no one will notice."
