We discuss opportunities within and outside of the wedding industry and emphasise the importance of the skills, knowledge and adaptability you have as a wedding photographer or videographer.

We hope you enjoy listening to our thoughts on what you could do to explore other opportunities to generate revenue for your business when wedding bookings may be lower than expected, and can take away some useful tips on how to navigate these difficult times.

In this weeks episode we discuss and share our thoughts on how social media has changed the way wedding photography and videography is shared online.

We would be the first to advocate for the benefits of having used social media platforms to elevate and grow our business over the last five years, but as with all things tech, these platforms have evolved, and so too, has the way in which we use this as a marketing tool, and the way in which users’ appetite for sharing their own “creative” content.

- But has this ruined it for us as photographers and videographers?

- Is the desire to post it first, diluting the effort and skill we put into creating the highest quality images and footage?

- And what about the way we work? Do we need to change how we do what do just to stay relevant?

In this weeks episode we discuss and share our top ten tips to help you achieve a successful wedding day. 

Spending money on workshops, equipment, buying presets or LUT’s, will all get you improved results, but sometimes the most effective changes and improvements we can make in our business are simple, easy to implement and don’t cost us anything. 

These don’t get talked about as much, probably because they are not as exciting and it can’t be sold to you as a solution! But believe us, by taking action on the points we will discuss today our wedding day’s have become less stressful and we have made the biggest improvements in our images, films and our relationships with our clients.

1. Look through previous galleries you have taken for your wedding clients and see which ones they have favourited 
2. Questionnaires & Consultations
3. Shot lists
4. Setting up your camera and knowing your equipment
5. Flash and artificial light
6. Understand light colour and WB
7. Focus on the details
8. Plan the day, be prepared, anticipate things and have contingencies
9. No stress group shots
10. Shoot with variety and think about perspective

We hope you enjoy listening to our top ten tips, and if you have your own tips you'd like to share then, hit us up on the socials at:

A very important topic, even if you think it is dry and boring...I promise if you are a wedding videographer/filmmaker you will get something from this - if you are a photographer, you might find out why videographers piss around with microphones and audio recorders so much!

In this episode we discuss capturing/recording audio on a wedding day. Why we do it, what we record, what equipment we want, what settings we use and some tips for getting decent sounds rather than a load of muffled crap! It is another one of those situations where I wish someone had explained all of this to me when I was starting out/learning, it would have been SO helpful.

I talk about a few things in this episode, if you are interested in them please check out our KIT page for more details on the products and how to purchase them.
