Make Better Wedding Films

Today I'm joined by Florida based wedding filmmaker, Miranda Kay Media. We talk about her journey over the last 3 years towards finding her style, about her story sessions she includes in her packages and how they help build connections with her clients - and about how the act of failing quickly has allowed her to refine her craft in such a short space of time.

On today's show I'm sitting down with my old mate Zac, aka Flatroc Films, aka an absolute WEAPON! We soak up the sun in my back yard and chat all things editing, storytelling and keeping on top of your backlog.

Join Bottlebrush Film, Gione & Hannah da Silva, Kennedy Nicole Films, William Sarmiento, Los MAWI and myself in this live panel discussion at the Amar Workshop in Cartagena, Colombia, where we explore the significance of developing a unique style in an oversaturated market. The conversation delves into the importance of branding, finding one's authentic voice, and the creative processes involved in wedding filmmaking. Panelists share personal experiences, challenges, and insights on how to navigate the industry while staying true to their artistic vision. The discussion emphasizes the need for intentionality in capturing moments and the value of collaboration and communication with clients and vendors.

On today's show I'm chatting with Steven from Wedding Marketing Co. about the power of Meta Ads, how they allowed him to scale his wedding photography business to over $450K in revenue and how he's now helping others do the same.

Loneliness and isolation are sometimes unfortunate byproducts of the freedom our career choice brings, so often heightened by an illusion of community on social media. So on today’s show, I’m doing something different. I’m combining three seperate interviews with Lunar Red Films, Omega Weddings and Joe Torres, in the hopes that I can highlight some part of our collective experience.

How much is our gear a crutch? If we didn’t have access to shallow depth of field, 10 bit colour, crazy low light, infinite lens choices… would our work still stand on it’s own? Would the storytelling at the core still resonate if the flashy wrappings fell away? On today’s show, I’m talking with Savannah Groves, aka A Girl and Her Phone about the conscious choice she has made to ignore the advice of other videographers and not buy a camera, but to create wedding films using only an iPhone. Why? Well you’ll have to listen and find out....

Process, organisation, workflows and systems… the boring, mundane parts of our work, right? Wrong! On today’s show I’m talking with Brady Huf from Wedding Post House about how systematic approaches to the creative process can not only make us more efficient but also free up mental space to allow us to thrive in our business and avoid burning out.
