About the show
The Vendor Table is a weekly conversation from inside the wedding industry — the part they don't show you on Instagram.
We're Mike and Lauren, full-time wedding photographers who started this thing at an actual vendor table at an actual wedding, because we couldn't stop talking about what this work is really like. The chaos and the beauty of it. The burnout and the breakthroughs. The moments that make you laugh until you cry in a church parking lot.
This show is a seat at the table — honest conversations about business, craft, and what it actually means to build something in an industry full of noise.
If you're a wedding vendor who's ever felt like you were figuring it out alone, you found your people.
MIke Cassara & Lauren o'brien
Lauren O'Brien is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based on Long Island, NY, with over a decade behind the lens and 400+ weddings to her name. She shoots the in-between moments — the ones that feel too real to pose. Driven by emotion, fueled by authenticity, and probably reading something spicy between sessions.
Mike Cassara is a wedding and portrait photographer known for his candid eye and strong compositional instincts. He brings a relaxed, unforced energy to everything he shoots — and an unreasonable number of floral ties to every wedding.
