The Sundae Best https://thesundaebest.com The Sundae Best is a podcast about business, life, health, faith, and everything in between. Your host, Logan Ferree, is a wedding photographer, mentor, wife, dog & cat mom, believer, and so much more. After experiencing the crushing weight of burnout and perfectionism, she wanted to create a space to pour her heart out, share her myriad of life experiences, and invite others to do the same. Because is any experience in this life truly unique?

Logan deeply believes we are multi-faceted beings who are allowed to (and should) have more than one passion in life. So within The Sundae Best, you'll hear everything from stories about how her nerves in her esophagus died to interviews with SEO experts for wedding vendors because that's the range of her everyday life. 

Think of this podcast like one giant Sundae... some ingredients maybe shouldn't go together and things can get a little messy, but nonetheless, it's like an enjoyable sweet treat that keeps you coming back for more. From 'Oh Fudge!' moments to sprinkles of wisdom... grab your favorite spoon and let's dig in!

I really want to emphasize that it's about so much more than liking someone’s editing style. It’s about trust, communication, backup plans, and how you’ll actually feel with them by your side on your wedding day.

In this episode of The Sundae Best, I walk through the most important questions to ask when interviewing your potential wedding photographer(s). I also share my own answers so you can hear exactly how I approach things like photo timelines, image security, backup gear, planning engagement sessions, and transparency through the entire process.

Whether you’re newly engaged or in the final stages of wedding planning, this episode will help you ask the right questions so you can hire your wedding photographer with full confidence in both their work and their process.

In the final part of this three-part Contact to Contract Series, wedding planner Jillian Pohlman of Jillian Marie Events walks us through everything that happens after the consultation: how to follow up without being pushy, when to send the contract, how to communicate payment schedules, and what to do once someone actually books. This is where many wedding professionals lose momentum or accidentally create friction that causes couples to choose someone else. Jillian breaks down exactly how to keep the process moving forward while making it easy and pressure-free for couples.

Whether you're a photographer, planner, florist, DJ, or any other wedding professional, this episode will help you confidently move from "great consultation" to "signed contract and paid deposit." Learn why you should follow up only once, why contract expiration dates might be hurting you, why final payment should never be due on the wedding day, and how to guide new clients through next steps without overwhelming them. Remember: if they're going to book, they're going to book—your job is just to make it easy.

In this episode, Colorado & destination wedding planner Jillian Pohlman of Jillian Marie Events breaks down exactly what's working (and what's NOT) in the contact-to-contract process for wedding professionals in all categories.

As a planner, Jillian has a unique perspective—she sees both sides of the vendor-client relationship and gets real-time feedback from couples about who they're booking and why. In Part 1 of this three-part series, we're diving deep into contact forms and our initial response to new inquiries.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What questions to ask (and NOT to ask) on your contact form
  • When and how you should discuss pricing with potential clients
  • How to write an initial response email that actually gets clients to book a call with you
  • How to respond when planners inquire on behalf of their clients
  • The only follow-up strategy you need (hint: it's simpler than you think)

Whether you're a photographer, planner, florist, DJ, caterer, or any other wedding pro, this conversation applies to you. Jillian's approach is all about being human, responding in a timely manner, and making the booking process easy for couples, rather than overwhelming them with too much information before you've even had a conversation to understand what they need.

This episode is for you if:

  • You're getting inquiries but struggling to convert them into booked clients
  • You feel like you're being ghosted after sending your initial response
  • You're wondering if your contact form is helping or hurting you
  • You want to streamline your inquiry process and book more aligned clients

  • How to get started with stock photography without quitting your current business

  • The types of photos that actually sell (hint: it’s not the epic hero shots you may expect!)

  • Why premium agencies pay hundreds for a single image—and how to get your work in front of them

  • The truth about AI-generated stock images and where the market is heading

]]> In this episode of The Sundae Best, I chat with Lauren Meltzer from Pets of Honor about wedding pet attendants and how they're revolutionizing the way couples include dogs in weddings. Lauren shares her expertise on providing comprehensive wedding day pet care, from transportation and feeding to managing excited pups during cocktail hour and helping pets sign marriage licenses with their paw prints. Whether you're a couple planning to include your beloved dog in your wedding ceremony or a wedding photographer looking to collaborate with pet attendants to create the best client experience, this conversation covers everything you need to know. We dive into why professional pet attendants are essential for stress-free weddings with dogs, how photographers can work seamlessly with pet care professionals to capture perfect shots, and the timeline considerations that make wedding day pet inclusion successful. Lauren explains the complete process from pickup to drop-off, emergency preparedness with pet first aid kits, and creative ways couples are incorporating their furry family members into their special day. This episode is perfect for engaged couples considering wedding pet services, wedding photographers who want to better serve clients with pets, and anyone curious about this growing wedding industry specialty that's making dream weddings with dogs a beautiful reality.
