So, after an awful interaction with a venue a couple of weeks ago (who wanted my images for free, but wouldn’t recommend me in return, and who only recommend photographers who do extra free work for them!), today I had a lovely email from a different venue saying how they’re recommending me to one of their upcoming couples, and how they’ve added me to their recommended list - without me even needing to ask. So lovely! There are still decent humans/venues out there :)
