For The Hearts Still Beating

For The Heart Still Beating is a podcast for wedding photographers, artists, and creatives who want more than just pretty pictures and perfect timelines. Hosted by Hamburg-based photographer Björn Lexius, this show dives deep into the emotional, often unspoken side of working in the wedding industry — the burnout, the identity crises, the beauty, the doubt, and the why-the-fuck-am-I-still-doing-this moments. It’s not about algorithms or business hacks. It’s about staying human in an industry that often forgets we are. Real talk. Messy feelings. No filters. For the ones still creating with a pulse.
