In this episode of That Wedding Videographer Podcast, we sit down with Greg and Simon from Cinemate to discuss their journey from music technology students to highly sought-after wedding filmmakers. They share how their early inspirations came from the American wedding film industry, which led them to refine their storytelling approach and fill a gap in the UK market. The conversation also touches on the evolution of wedding videography in the UK, where education and mentorship are rapidly accelerating the industry’s growth, helping filmmakers develop their craft at a much faster rate.

We also explore the changing dynamics of wedding filmmaking, including how Cinemate is shifting focus away from traditional second shooting to audio, behind-the-scenes content, and VHS-style footage. They dive into the differences between weddings and elopements, offering insights into logistics, client experience, and adapting to Scotland’s unpredictable weather. Marketing strategies, SEO, and pricing structures are also discussed, giving listeners a peek into how Cinemate attracts international clients without relying on paid ads. Whether you’re looking to improve your storytelling, streamline your workflow, or rethink your pricing, this episode is packed with valuable insights and a good dose of banter.
