    Ep. 110 - Why You're Losing Bookings (And It Has Nothing to Do With Your Prices)

    Most wedding videographers think sales is something that happens when a couple gets on a call with you and you try to convince them to book. Danny and Jason think that's already too late. In this episode they break down what a real sales journey looks like from start to finish, and why the videographers who convert the most enquiries aren't the ones with the best pitch, they're the ones who've been selling long before anyone ever hits the contact form. They get into why your Instagram profile, your website, and your response to an enquiry are all part of the same sales process, and how most people are leaving money on the table at every single stage without realising it. Danny shares how he uses WhatsApp voice notes to respond to enquiries within the hour, why getting back to someone quickly matters more than what you actually say, and the dog cam story that perfectly sums up what it means to make a couple feel like you actually read what they sent you. Jason talks through why the sales call is rarely about your work, the work already did its job to get them to enquire. What the call is really about is whether they want you at their wedding. He explains how to use the information people give you on inquiry forms to build a genuine connection, and why turning a rational decision into an emotional one is the most powerful thing you can do when couples are weighing up their budget. If you've ever felt uncomfortable about the sales side of running your business, this one will change how you think about it entirely. 🎧 Podcast Sponsors LUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix's free 48 hour loan scheme.

  2. Ep. 109 - Is Wedding Videography Dying? The Honest Truth About Content Creators, Gen Z Couples, and Where Our Industry Is Actually Heading

    Ep. 109 - Is Wedding Videography Dying? The Honest Truth About Content Creators, Gen Z Couples, and Where Our Industry Is Actually Heading

    You've seen the posts. The doom scrolling. The videographers convinced that content creators are going to make us redundant and that the industry is on a one-way trip downhill. This week Danny and Jason tackle the question head on: are we cooked? The honest answer is no. But the longer answer is more interesting than that. They dig into why the rise of content creators has felt so destabilising so quickly, and why that speed of change is actually the real issue rather than the change itself. Jason lays out why content creators hit our biggest weakness directly, the delivery time problem that the wedding industry has quietly ignored for years, and what videographers can actually do about it right now. Danny talks through the generational shift happening in the couples getting married, why Gen Z wants something different from what millennials did, and what that means for the style of work you're putting out. They also get into how platforms come and go, why Facebook leads have already dried up for most people, and why Instagram will eventually go the same way, so building your business on one platform is always going to be a risk. Plus, what AI might do to all of this over the next five to ten years. The conclusion isn't panic. It's a prompt to look honestly at whether your work has actually evolved with the times, because the videographers who are struggling right now are largely the ones who haven't changed what they're putting out. Embrace the shift or resist it, but only one of those options has a future in it. 🎧 Podcast Sponsors LUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix's free 48 hour loan scheme.

  3. Ep. 108 - Why What You Wear on a Wedding Day Is Costing You Referrals

    Ep. 108 - Why What You Wear on a Wedding Day Is Costing You Referrals

    Most videographers never think twice about what they wear on a wedding day. Danny and Jason used to be the same. This week they're making the case that your attire, your client call setup, and the way you present yourself at every touchpoint is quietly shaping what planners, photographers, and future couples think of you, and whether they recommend you. Danny opens up about years of turning up in Hawaiian shirts and denim shorts and why a comment from a mother of the bride never fully left him. Jason talks through how he landed on a smart casual formula that lets him move freely on the day while actually looking like someone the couple is proud to have there. They also get into the moment Danny spilled water down his chinos right before a ceremony and had to spend the next three hours pretending it didn't happen. Beyond the wedding day itself, they cover why your client consultation setup matters more than you think, how your background, lighting, and what you're wearing on a Zoom call creates an impression before you've said a single word, and how being the videographer that looks the part can be the difference between a planner recommending you or quietly not bothering. It's a lighter one this week but there's something genuinely useful in here if presentation is something you've been putting off thinking about. 🎧 Podcast Sponsors LUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix's free 48 hour loan scheme.

    Ep. 107 - Stop Wasting Your Off Season: How to Set Your Business Up Before Wedding Season Hits

    Wedding season is coming. The question is, what have you done with the time before it gets here? In this week's episode, Danny and Jason dig into one of the most overlooked opportunities in your business calendar: the quiet period. Not to rest and coast, but to do the work that actually moves the needle before the season swallows you whole. They cover the things you should genuinely be doing with your spare time as a wedding videographer, including reviewing your packages and figuring out which ones your clients are actually booking, restructuring your contract to protect yourself from situations that could seriously hurt your cash flow, building a social content bank from footage you've already shot, improving your editing workflow so you're not starting from scratch every time, and investing in learning that gets you excited and inspired before the season begins. Jason also shares how he used this window to work on his health, Danny opens up about his own plans to get on top of things, and they get into an honest conversation about the traps that keep most videographers stuck, doing what worked last year without ever checking if it still applies. If you've got a quiet few weeks ahead of you, this one will help you make sure you don't waste them. 🎧 Podcast Sponsors LUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix's free 48 hour loan scheme.

    Ep. 106 - From Burnout to Award-Nominated Filmmaker: Stevie Weir's Journey Into Wedding Film

    In this episode, Danny and Jason sit down with Stevie Weir of Journal Wedding Films for an honest and inspiring conversation about one of the most interesting creative journeys in the UK wedding industry right now. Stevie spent 18 years as a wedding photographer, including a stint in the police before going full time behind a camera. After the post-COVID boom left him burnt out and with just 11 weddings in the book, he made a bold decision to pivot into wedding filmmaking, starting with a hybrid model before building Journal as a standalone film business. In this episode you'll learn how Stevie approached the transition from photography to film, why he stepped away from the hybrid model and what that decision changed for his creativity, his philosophy on finding the real story inside every wedding day, how mentoring transformed his filmmaking and what specific feedback shifted his approach, and the behind-the-scenes story of Yellows, his award-nominated film shot on the Isle of Tiree that had judges talking. Watch the film here: https://vimeo.com/1141870401?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Whether you're a photographer thinking about adding video, a videographer who feels like their work has become too polished, or someone just looking for a reminder of why storytelling is at the heart of what we do, this one is well worth your time.

    Ep. 105 - AI Is Coming for Wedding Videography… But Not How You Think

    In this episode, Jason and Danny dive into the rapid rise of AI in wedding filmmaking and what it actually means for videographers right now. From tools like Imagen, Plotline, and Higgsfield AI, they explore how artificial intelligence is already changing workflows, from colour correction and story development to removing distractions like fire exit signs, cars, and even people from your footage. They discuss the real benefits of AI, saving time, reducing decision fatigue, and speeding up edits, but also the growing concerns around creativity, originality, and whether relying too heavily on AI could lead to a sea of identical films. The conversation also tackles the ethical side of AI in weddings, including altering environments, changing weather, and where the line sits between enhancing a film and misrepresenting the day. Looking ahead, they explore what the future might hold, from automated ceremony edits to fully AI-assisted workflows, and why the human element, storytelling, personality, and individuality, will still be the thing that sets filmmakers apart. If you’ve been curious, excited, or slightly worried about how AI is going to impact your business, this episode will help you understand where we are now and where things could be heading next. 🎧 Podcast Sponsors LUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

They discuss the importance of experimentation, why not every film needs to follow the same formula, and how leaning into your personality and influences can help attract the right couples.
