That Wedding Videographer Podcast

In this episode of That Wedding Videographer Podcast, we sit down with Riccardo Fasoli, the lead videographer of the legendary German studio Kreativ Wedding. Known worldwide for their immersive, raw, emotionally charged wedding films, Kreativ Wedding has shaped the modern style many filmmakers now try to emulate.

Riccardo opens up about the early days of the business, how he and his wife built their team, why authenticity beats cinematic perfection, and how your energy on the wedding day matters more than your gear. He also breaks down creative decision-making, storytelling structure, and the philosophy behind truly meaningful wedding films.

This one’s pure gold for filmmakers who want deeper connection, better storytelling, and a more intentional approach to capturing weddings.

We’re back with the legend himself, Jeff Wood, almost exactly one year after our first conversation about his bold move to start shooting weddings on iPhone. This time, Jeff returns with real-world experience, surprising lessons, unexpected drawbacks, and a genuinely compelling case for why phones may have a bigger place in wedding filmmaking than most are willing to admit.

We talk about:
 • What Jeff discovered after a full year mixing iPhone and pro camera shooting
 • The big advantages clients actually notice
• Why shallow depth of field might be overrated
• Jeff’s favourite rig setups and the surprising strengths of mobile sensors
• The challenges he faced (including ghosting, low light quirks, and lost luggage chaos)
• How the rise of content creators is shifting the industry
• And Jeff’s passionate pitch for entering the British Wedding Film Festival before the deadline

If you’re on the fence about entering your work, Jeff breaks down exactly why this festival matters for the future of wedding filmmaking and why every filmmaker — whether seasoned, emerging, or experimenting — should consider submitting.

Ever felt frustrated that your wedding films aren’t performing on Instagram the way they used to? In this episode, Danny and Jase break down the truth about how the platform actually works — and why it’s not the algorithm holding you back.

They unpack insights from Andrew Kie’s recent workshop on social media and personal branding, explore the shift from follower-based to interest-based algorithms, and discuss how to make content that truly connects with your audience. You’ll also hear how to use Instagram and YouTube differently, what role teasers and highlights really play in marketing, and why some wedding filmmakers might need to rethink their entire content approach.

Plus, the guys announce the launch of That Wedding Videographer Podcast Facebook Group, where listeners can connect, ask guest questions, and take part in upcoming giveaways.

In this episode, Danny and Jase sit down with award-winning filmmaker James Tracey, who shares his incredible journey from policing the streets to crafting emotionally charged wedding films. James opens up about how his years in the police force shaped his calm, observational shooting style, his transition from photography to videography, and how mentorship from Jeff Wood transformed his storytelling approach.

They discuss the evolution of the wedding film industry, the impact of hybrid shooters, and why James structures his packages around the feature film as the emotional centrepiece. James also talks about judging for The Wedding Industry Awards, his thoughts on trends like vertical teasers and the infamous “5,000x1” format, and how he balances creativity with what clients truly value.

To top it off, he reveals one of his biggest on-the-job mishaps—and how AI nearly helped him fix it.

A must-listen for anyone navigating creativity, competition, and storytelling in modern wedding filmmaking.
