  • 496. Wedding Filmmakers Are Done Being Overlooked | Wedding Crashers

    For years, wedding filmmakers have been an afterthought at industry awards. Photographers get celebrated, while filmmakers are lucky to get a category or two. But that's about to change.

    This week, I'm joined by my friends Kyle Hustis and Camryn Bradshaw from Wedding Crashers, who decided it was time for wedding filmmakers to have something of their own.

    They're launching the Wedding Film Awards, a full-blown, Oscars-style celebration at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, on December 9.

    We're talking red carpets, black-tie attire, live music, an orchestra, 15 award categories, and some of the best wedding films from around the world being celebrated on the big screen.

    But this conversation is about a lot more than an awards show.

    We get into why wedding filmmaking has been overlooked for so long, what it takes to build something this ambitious from scratch, how they're approaching the judging process, and why this event isn't just for videographers. Photographers, planners, and other wedding professionals have a reason to be there, too.

    I've gotten to know these guys over the years, and one thing I love about them is that they genuinely care about this industry. They're not waiting around for someone else to create something meaningful. They're doing it themselves.

    If you've ever felt like the work you put into your craft deserves more recognition, I think you'll appreciate this conversation.

  • 495. The $99 Sale That Meant More Than a $25,000 Wedding | Walk It Out Ep. 07

    ✅ Grab my free guide "10 Discovery Call Mistakes" https://john-bunn.com/free-guide

    💻 Check out my shop for templates: https://john-bunn.com/shop

    Last week, I was walking around my neighborhood wondering if a couple was going to book me for a $25,000 wedding.

    Well, they booked.

    And on the very same day, I made a $99 sale that honestly might have meant even more to me.

    Sounds ridiculous, right?

    I've been in the wedding industry for nearly 20 years. I've booked weddings for significantly more than $25,000, sold thousands of digital products, and built a successful education business before.

    But after taking a year off and starting over with Shifting Focus, that first $99 sale reminded me of something I think I've been forgetting.

    Small beginnings matter.

    In today's Walk It Out, I'm sharing the update on that wedding inquiry, why a single digital product sale had me almost crying, and what I've been learning about rebuilding confidence, serving the audience you already have, and figuring out what success actually looks like in this next season of business.

    I also share something from a recent church service that really challenged the way I've been thinking about growth.

    Sometimes it's not about reaching more people. Sometimes it's about doing a better job serving the people who are already here.

    No big production. No perfectly packaged lesson. Just some thoughts from my walk.

    Grab your headphones and come walk with me.

  • 494. Your Brand Isn't Your Logo. It's Who You Are - with Austin Blanchard

    ✅ Grab my free guide "10 Discovery Call Mistakes" https://john-bunn.com/free-guide

    Your brand is so much more than a logo, a website, or a beautiful Instagram feed.

    In this episode of Shifting Focus, I'm joined by my good friend Austin Blanchard, founder of Creative Cabana, to talk about what branding actually means and why getting clear on who you are might be the most important thing you can do for your business.

    We talk about the difference between creating beautiful work and creating an experience people actually connect with, why trying to appeal to everyone might be holding you back, and how the different seasons of our lives shape the businesses we want to build.

    We also get into the importance of slowing down, getting outside perspective, and doing the deeper work of understanding who you want to serve before you start worrying about how your brand looks.

    If you've been feeling disconnected from your business, questioning who you're trying to attract, or thinking it's time for a rebrand, this conversation is for you.

  • 493. I Sent a $24,000 Proposal. Now I'm Second-Guessing Everything. | Walk It Out Ep. 06

    I just had what I would consider an A+ consultation.

    Great couple. Great venue. Great conversation. Everything seemed to line up.

    Then I sent them a proposal for around $24,000.

    And immediately started second-guessing myself. Haha.

    Should I have charged less? Should I text them and offer a better deal? What if they don't book? What if I really need this wedding?

    I've been doing this for nearly 20 years. I've filmed weddings all over the world, worked with incredible clients, and charged significantly more than this before.

    And yet, here I am, walking around my neighborhood trying to convince myself not to panic over a proposal.

    That's what I'm working through in today's Walk It Out.

    We're talking about pricing, knowing your value, the pressure of needing bookings, and the strange tension between running a profitable business and simply wanting someone to say yes.

    I don't have a perfectly packaged lesson for you today. I'm just figuring some things out in real time.

    And honestly, I think a lot of us are dealing with the same thing.

    Walk It Out is a shorter, less-produced series from Shifting Focus with John Bunn. No guests, no big setup. Just real conversations about business, creativity, life, and whatever I'm thinking through while I'm out on a walk.

    Grab your headphones and come walk with me.

  • 492. Mesus Studios - The Road To Ultra Luxury

    ✅ Grab my free guide "10 Discovery Call Mistakes" https://john-bunn.com/free-guide

    What does it actually take to move into the ultra-luxury wedding market? And is raising your prices really the answer?

    This week, I'm sitting down with Miguel Djontu, founder of MESUS Studios, to talk about what it looks like to intentionally build a business that attracts a completely different level of client.

    Miguel has built an incredible photography brand, but what I love about this conversation is that he's not pretending he's arrived. He's actively working toward the next level, and he's sharing what that process looks like.

    We talk about identity, understanding your ideal client, curating your portfolio, building relationships with the right planners, and why sometimes taking a lower-paying wedding can actually be one of the smartest investments you make in your business.

    One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Miguel's perspective on becoming the kind of person who belongs in the market you're trying to reach. Because getting to that next level isn't just about doing better work or charging more money.

    It's about knowing where you want to go and making intentional decisions that move you in that direction.

    If you've been trying to break into a higher market, attract better clients, or figure out what's keeping your business from moving forward, I think you'll get a lot out of this one.

    ✅ Grab my free guide "10 Discovery Call Mistakes" https://john-bunn.com/free-guide

    I had two discovery calls yesterday that I thought went pretty well. Great conversations, good connections, all the things you're hoping for.

    And then we started talking about money. Haha.

    Neither one ended the way I hoped, and it got me thinking about my inquiry process, how I'm preparing couples before our calls, and whether I'm doing everything I can to set us both up for success.

    But then something happened later that night that completely changed my perspective.

    In this episode of Walk It Out, I'm talking through the frustrating side of consultations, what I'm learning after nearly 20 years in business, and why I'm trying to get better at looking at my own process instead of blaming every inquiry that doesn't turn into a booking.

    Just some thoughts from my walk today.

    Shorter, less-produced episodes from Shifting Focus. No guests, no big setup. Just me out on a walk, talking through business, creativity, life, and whatever's on my mind.

  • 490. Greg Finck - The Business of Being in Demand

    The Exposure Triangle Mastermind: https://john-bunn.com/exposure-triangle

    Greg Finck is one of my favorite photographers in the world, so I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous for this one.

    Over the last 17 years, Greg has built one of the most recognizable and sought-after brands in luxury wedding photography. Today, he photographs multi-day celebrations around the world and charges anywhere from $60,000 to $100,000 for his work.

    But this conversation isn't really about the $100K booking.

    It's about what it takes to build a business that people actually want.

    Greg and I talk about his journey from photographing his first wedding for $500 to working at the very top of the luxury market, and the intentional decisions he made along the way.

    We get into pricing and the mental barriers that keep creatives from charging more, why Greg is incredibly selective about the work he shares, how he thinks about creating demand, and why relationships have played such a huge role in his success.

    Greg also shares one of my favorite takeaways from the entire conversation: there are three reasons to take a wedding.

    Money. Portfolio. Network.

    If a job doesn't accomplish at least one of those three things, he doesn't take it.

    This conversation is about playing the long game. Creating work you're proud of. Building a brand with intention. Developing real relationships. And making strategic decisions today based on where you actually want your business to go.

    I walked away from this one incredibly inspired, and I think you will too.

  • 489. I Got My Feelings Hurt This Weekend - Walk It Out 04

    Exposure Triangle Mastermind is open: https://john-bunn.com/exposure-triangle I got my feelings hurt this weekend.

    I was working alongside some incredible photographers at one of the highest-end weddings I've ever been part of, and before we started day two, one of them pulled me aside and told me something they didn't love about the way I worked the night before.

    My first reaction?

    How dare you?

    But the longer I thought about it, the more I realized they were right about something. And I learned a lot from watching the way they carried themselves, communicated, and operated at that level.

    So on today's walk, I'm talking through that experience, what I'm learning about the luxury market, and why I think a lot of us are focusing on the wrong things when we're trying to grow.

    Your work absolutely matters. But at a certain point, getting your work from an 88 to a 90 probably isn't what's going to move the needle.

    Your brand matters. Your network matters. Your professionalism matters. And maybe more than we realize, your mindset matters.

    You don't have to wait for the results to start behaving like the person you want to become.

    The results come later. The behaviors can start today.

    Here's the full workshop GET UNSTUCK. In this episode, I play the full workshop I had this week for over 250 wedding pros. Tune in as I talk to the attendees and teach how to get Unstuck from the Middle Market

  • 487. It is time to GET UNSTUCK (I can help!)

    Get Unstuck Workshop: https://john-bunn.com/get-unstuck

    You're working hard.

    You're posting. Shooting. Editing. Networking. Changing your website. Trying new things.

    But before asking, "What should I do next?" there's a more important question:

    What is actually keeping me stuck?

    In this episode of Shifting Focus, I'm breaking down the framework I've used to completely change the direction of my own business and the same framework I'm teaching inside my free GET UNSTUCK workshop.

    We're talking about defining what you actually want, identifying who needs to want you, and taking an honest look at the three areas that determine how your business is exposed to the market: **your Work, your Brand, and your Network.

    Because you probably don't need more things to do.

    You need to know what actually deserves your attention.

    I also share some of my own journey from shooting 45 weddings in a year and feeling completely overwhelmed to building a business that allows me to shoot fewer weddings, work with people I genuinely love, and create the kind of work I actually want to make.

    If you've been working hard but still feel like you're spinning your wheels, it is time to get unstuck.
