After wrapping up 7 incredible years and over 400 episodes of How to Film Weddings, it’s time to start something new. In this episode, I’m sharing why I made the shift, what this new show is all about, and how changing your focus can completely change your business I break down the meaning behind the name Shifting Focus, why most creatives are stuck (hint: it’s not a talent issue), and how getting clear on what actually matters is the real game-changer If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure of your next step, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about clarity, momentum, and building a business that works for your life, not the other way around

After 7 years, 400+ episodes, and an incredible community, we’re saying goodbye to How To Film Weddings as you know it.

In this final episode together, we sit down to reflect on the journey—what we’ve learned, how the podcast has evolved, and the impact it’s had on both of our lives and businesses. We also share what’s next for each of us: where Nick is heading, and how John is launching a brand-new podcast and platform under Shifting Focus.

This episode is full of gratitude, memories, and clarity about what comes next. Whether you’ve been with us from episode one or just joined recently—thank you for being part of something truly special.

Here’s the truth: no one’s hiring you just for the thing you do. They’re hiring you for how you make them feel—from the first DM to the final delivery.

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what it really means to sell an experience, not just a service. I’ll share a story from a recent wedding in Highlands, North Carolina that reminded me how powerful client experience truly is—and how it can make couples fall in love with your work before they ever see it.

If you’re a wedding filmmaker, photographer, planner, or vendor of any kind, this episode will challenge you to rethink the way you position your business—from your first impression to five years after the wedding.

🎧 Big announcement coming next week—don’t miss it.

In today's podcast Nick sits down and encourages you to 'Do The Thing' whether that means doing something that you need to do in your business, OR focusing in on doing the thing that will give you real fulfillment and enjoyment in your life.

Spoiler alert: you're not just selling a video, a photo gallery, or a floral arrangement. You're selling peace of mind. You're selling trust. You're selling the confidence that your couple’s day is going to feel how they’ve always imagined it.

In this episode, we’re talking about the deeper transformation your clients are actually buying—and how to reframe your messaging, pricing, and brand experience around that. Whether you’re a filmmaker, photographer, planner, or any creative in the wedding industry, this is the mindset shift that unlocks higher pricing, better clients, and stronger referrals.

From what I charged and included, to gear choices, prep, team leadership, editing workflows, and the lessons I learned—this is a raw, honest look behind the scenes of expanding your creative skill set without burning out.

Whether you're a filmmaker curious about adding photography, or just someone who wants to learn from a big first step, this one’s packed with real talk and practical insight.

Building a portfolio that attracts your dream clients doesn’t require perfection—it requires intention. In this episode, I’m sharing how I built a high-end photography portfolio before I had the bookings to match. From identifying my ideal buyer to curating my early content with precision, I’ll walk you through how I reverse-engineered demand without faking it or waiting for permission. Whether you’re a planner, videographer, photographer, or any wedding pro, this episode is your permission slip to start showing up like the business you want to become.
