Episode 48 – Lucy Nuzum
In this episode, we chat with the brilliant Lucy Nuzum — a photographer whose path took her from self-portrait experiments as an art student to a thriving career in wedding photography. Lucy opens up about everything from creative influences and personal projects to navigating wedding trends, working with musicians, and the joys (and oddities) of flotation tanks.
We talk about her first wedding, her approach to blending documentary and portraiture, and the systems she’s had to build to balance creativity with workflow. There’s loads here on community, confidence and client connections.
