That Wedding Videographer Podcast

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 SponsorsLUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix's free 48 hour loan scheme.

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 SponsorsLUMIX Try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix's free 48 hour loan scheme.

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.

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 SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by the co-founders of Vidflow to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of wedding filmmaking, how you actually deliver your films.They dive into the story behind Vidflow, from the early days of DVDs and USBs to building a platform designed specifically for wedding filmmakers who want to give their couples a premium viewing experience. What started as a simple frustration quickly turned into a tool now used by thousands of videographers around the world.The conversation explores why delivery is such a crucial part of your brand, how a poor viewing experience can undo all your hard work, and why sending YouTube or Vimeo links often kills the emotional impact of a wedding film.They also break down features like white labelling, custom branding, TV apps, and hybrid photo and video galleries, along with the thinking behind their pricing model and how it supports both beginners and high-volume filmmakers.The discussion also covers future plans for Vidflow, including deeper integrations with CRMs and workflows, as well as how the platform is evolving beyond delivery into a core part of a videographer’s business system.They also address last year’s data issue head-on, sharing what happened, how they handled it, and the steps they’ve taken to ensure it never happens again.If you want to elevate your client experience, strengthen your brand, and deliver your films in a way that actually matches the quality of your work, this episode is a must-listen.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by Russell Kent Nicholls, filmmaker and the creator of Wedola, the community-built CRM designed specifically for wedding professionals.Russell shares the story behind building Wedola, starting from his own frustration with messy spreadsheets, manual contracts, and a workflow that felt like a ticking time bomb during busy wedding seasons. What began as a tool to simplify his own process has quickly grown into a platform now used by hundreds of wedding suppliers around the world.They discuss what a CRM actually does for wedding businesses, why many creatives avoid them at first, and how systems like automated emails, client portals, contracts, invoices, and enquiry management can dramatically reduce stress during wedding season.Russell also talks about building software as a solo developer, growing a platform purely through word of mouth, listening to feedback from the community, and why the goal of Wedola has always been to create something that feels simple, human, and designed specifically for the way wedding suppliers work.The conversation also touches on future features, the possibility of referral networks within the platform, industry insights gathered from booking data, and how better systems can help wedding professionals focus less on admin and more on creativity.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed managing enquiries, contracts, payments, and client communication, this episode shows how the right systems can completely transform the way you run your wedding filmmaking business.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by filmmaker Ben Journee to talk about one of the most powerful tools available to modern filmmakers, social media.Ben shares how he’s used platforms like Instagram to build a recognisable personal brand, attract opportunities, and showcase his creativity far beyond the wedding industry. Rather than treating social media as a place to simply post finished work, Ben explains how he approaches it as a creative outlet and a way to experiment, connect with audiences, and develop his voice as a filmmaker.They discuss the difference between posting for other filmmakers versus posting for real audiences, why personality and storytelling matter more than perfectly polished clips, and how consistency and curiosity can help you grow a loyal following over time.The conversation also touches on creative burnout, staying inspired, and why social media can be one of the best places for filmmakers to test ideas, explore new styles, and push their craft forward.If you’ve ever struggled with what to post, felt stuck trying to “beat the algorithm,” or wondered how social media can actually benefit your filmmaking career, this episode offers a refreshing and practical perspective.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by McLean and Erin from Hello Tomorrow Films, storytellers with nearly 20 years of experience crafting deeply emotional wedding films.They dive into one of the biggest mindset shifts a filmmaker can have, realising the wedding day itself isn’t the story, it’s just the setting. The real story is everything that brought the couple there. From uncovering emotional arcs and personal journeys to designing intentional shots that reinforce themes, this episode explores how powerful storytelling actually works inside wedding films.They discuss how to identify meaningful moments before the wedding day, how questionnaires can reveal hidden storylines, why conflict doesn’t mean drama, and how intention, not gear, is the real ingredient behind emotional films. They also talk about designing shots that visually reinforce story themes, capturing meaningful audio, and how being present and prepared on a wedding day can transform your edits.The conversation also explores burnout, creative overwhelm, and how their tool Plotline was built to help filmmakers find story structure faster, reduce editing paralysis, and get straight into the creative part of the process.If you’ve ever struggled to find the story in your footage, or felt stuck staring at a timeline wondering where to begin, this episode might completely change how you approach editing forever.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this episode, Jason and Danny tackle a question every wedding videographer eventually has to face: how many weddings is actually too many?They dive into the reality of overbooking, burnout, editing backlogs, and what happens when your business starts running you instead of the other way around. From 50+ wedding seasons to stacked second halves of the year, they share honest reflections on pushing capacity, learning the hard way, and recalibrating what success really looks like.The conversation moves into practical territory, including calculating your true financial target, understanding turnover vs salary, protecting editing days in your calendar, outsourcing strategically, and why knowing your numbers is the only way to build a sustainable career.They also debate whether wedding shows are still worth it in 2026, reflect on last week’s slow-motion controversy, put Jason in the hot seat for a brutally technical round of I Do IQ, and finish with a Reddit Rabbit Hole story that escalates from heartfelt speeches to absolute chaos at a Scottish wedding.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re taking on too much, or not enough, this episode will help you figure out your own limit before it figures you out.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by Jack and Shannon from Forever Curious for a deep conversation about the parts of wedding filmmaking that matter long after the cameras are packed away.They explore the emotional and strategic reasons behind Forever Curious returning to their original name, why brand identity needs meaning not just aesthetics, and how listening to your audience can reveal what your business really stands for.Shannon dives into the mental game of running a creative business, shifting from filmmaker to business owner, reconnecting with your “why,” and building a business that supports the life you actually want, not just one that looks successful on paper.Jack breaks down his background in professional sound design, why audio is often the most undervalued element of wedding films, and how intentional sound, foley, and real-world audio can dramatically elevate storytelling. They discuss capturing sound on the wedding day, avoiding over-reliance on AI cleanup, and why the brain always knows when something feels fake.This episode is about more than filmmaking techniques. It’s about identity, purpose, and the small creative decisions that separate good wedding films from unforgettable ones.If you want to reconnect with why you started, improve the emotional impact of your films, and build a business that feels aligned rather than exhausting, this one will hit home.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this episode, Jason and Danny look back at the things they were convinced really mattered when they first started their wedding filmmaking businesses, and why most of them turned out to be completely unnecessary.They talk honestly about gear obsession, buying cameras and lenses they didn’t need, wasting money on microphones, and the belief that owning the same kit as your favourite filmmakers would somehow fast-track success. Danny shares why remortgaging his house to buy equipment was a huge mistake, while Jason reflects on years of overbuying in search of marginal improvements.The conversation moves into what actually makes a difference, experience on a wedding day, storytelling, anticipation, education, mentoring, styled shoots, and investing in things that help you get booked rather than just feel prepared.They also cover second-hand gear, why simplicity often leads to better films, the value of premium music, hard drives being the least exciting but most important investment, and why you don’t need the latest flagship camera to shoot great weddings.Alongside the main topic, the episode features the Lumix Lottery, a lively round of I Do I.Q with Danny in the hot seat, and a wild Reddit Rabbit Hole story involving a groom’s “surprise guest” that absolutely nobody asked for.If you’re starting out, thinking about upgrading, or questioning where your money is best spent, this episode is a much-needed reality check.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXTry the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II with Lumix’s free 48 hour loan scheme.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by Micaela from Get It Together to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in the wedding industry, paid advertising.Micaela shares how she booked over 90 shoots in a year, many without relying on Instagram at all, and explains why Google Ads have become the backbone of her business, especially after relocating to Scotland. The conversation covers search intent vs interruption marketing, how couples actually find suppliers, why not everyone needs to be on Instagram, and how being visible where people are already looking can unlock bookings you’d never reach through social media alone.They also explore niche targeting, proposal and elopement work, corporate opportunities, why bland ads often convert better than creative ones, and how videographers can stop copying what everyone else is doing and build a marketing system that suits their life and priorities.If you’re burned out on content, questioning Instagram’s role in your business, or curious about paid ads but scared to try again, this episode will completely reframe how you think about visibility and bookings.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXA huge thank you to Lumix for supporting the podcast.

It’s Episode 100 of That Wedding Videographer Podcast, and Jason and Danny are kicking off Season 3 properly, with new lights in the studio, new segments in the show, and a big topic that’s been taking over wedding filmmaking lately, interviews at weddings.They chat about why Alex Weldon of Molehill Media is raising the bar in the UK scene, what makes interview-led wedding films so addictive, and how to actually pull this off on a real wedding day, from choosing the right location and using natural light, to deciding whether dinner is the best time to grab people without dragging them away from the fun.They also dig into what separates a cringe guest message from a genuinely emotional, story-driven interview, the kinds of questions that unlock better answers, and why the best “interviews” feel more like a conversation than a script.On top of that, they introduce three brand-new features for Season 3: The LUMIX Lottery, where a random topic gets pulled from a box, I Do IQ, a weekly wedding and video quiz, and the Reddit Rabbit Hole, kicking off with an absolutely unhinged wedding email thread that spirals into chaos.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXIf you want to try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II for yourself, Lumix offer an incredible loan scheme where you can borrow a camera for 48 hours completely free.

In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by Sarah Craig of Joy Story Photography and Weeva, one of the UK wedding industry’s go-to experts on CRMs, workflows, and backend systems.Sarah shares how she runs multiple businesses at once without losing her mind, why workflows are not scary, and how a properly set-up CRM can save you hours every single week. They break down what a CRM actually is in plain English, the biggest mistakes videographers make when setting them up, and why most people either overcomplicate things or never get started at all.The conversation covers automated workflows, lead management, inquiry replies, client portals, payment reminders, personalising emails without sounding robotic, and how to keep the human touch while still using automation. Sarah also shares practical tips you can implement right now, including Gmail templates, simple lead workflows, and how to map your entire client journey.They also talk about AI in workflows, why you should never blindly trust automated replies, and how tools like Wedola are changing the way wedding suppliers manage their businesses.If admin, emails, and client management are overwhelming you, this episode will genuinely change how you think about running your wedding filmmaking business.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIX If you want to try the new S1R2 or S1 Mark II for yourself, Lumix offer an incredible loan scheme where you can borrow a camera for 48 hours completely free.

It’s Episode 99 of That Wedding Videographer Podcast, and Jason and Danny are feeling a little reflective.In this milestone episode, they look back on nearly 100 weeks of podcasting, how far the show has come, and why it still feels wild that they’ve kept it going every single week.

In the very first Summit Special of 2026, Jason and Danny are joined by Daniel Yates of Daniel Yates Films, one of the busiest wedding film editors in the UK and an industry pro appearing at the TWVP Summit.Dan shares how he went from filming weddings to becoming a go-to editor for videographers drowning in backlog, and how he now edits well over a thousand wedding films a year while still shooting his own.They dive deep into what actually makes fast editing possible, including strict deadlines, removing emotional attachment to footage, building repeatable systems, templating projects, organising footage properly, and why preparation outside the timeline is the real secret to speed.Dan also explains his day-slot editing system, how he reverse-engineers his edits, why breaking projects into small chunks keeps momentum high, and how he avoids the biggest time-wasters most videographers don’t even realise they’re doing.If you’ve ever felt buried by edits, overwhelmed by backlog, or stuck in slow, inconsistent workflows, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can start using immediately.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIX A huge thank you to Lumix for supporting the podcast.

January is here, engagement season is officially underway, and if you’re a wedding videographer feeling that familiar mix of relief and panic, this episode is for you.Jason and Danny kick things off from their brand-new office space before diving into the realities of enquiry slowdowns, why December always feels terrifying, and why January almost always proves your business isn’t “going under” after all.They break down what engagement season really looks like, how enquiries naturally dip and surge each year, and why it’s easy to spiral when leads slow down. The conversation then moves into practical territory, covering Instagram activity, evergreen ads, boosted posts, landing pages, and sales funnels, plus how both of them are approaching paid ads going into 2026.They also talk honestly about what has worked, what hasn’t, the shelf life of ads, the importance of hooks, and why organic-performing content often converts best when you put money behind it.If January ever makes you question your entire business, this one will feel very familiar.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIX A huge thank you to Lumix for supporting the podcast.

In this episode, Danny and Jason ease into the new year with a real, honest conversation about something every wedding filmmaker wrestles with… packages.From highlights vs feature films, to whether couples actually want five minute films or a handful of short reels, we unpack how client expectations are shifting and why many of us are offering things simply because “that’s how it’s always been done.”We talk about:• Why highlight films can end up feeling like a condensed version of the same film • The rise of short form wedding content and what Gen Z couples might actually want • Using teasers, same day edits, and reels as both client value and marketing fuel • How too many options can cause decision paralysis • Protecting your brand when it comes to raw footage • Whether “whole movie” wedding films actually have more long term value than we think • And how your messaging often matters more than your pricingIf you’re heading into a new season and questioning what you offer, how you offer it, or why you offer it at all, this episode will help you rethink your packages with intention instead of habit.🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXA huge thank you to Lumix for supporting the podcast.

In this Christmas Day special of That Wedding Videographer Podcast, Danny and Jason slow things down, have a laugh, and reflect on what’s been a huge year for the show and the wider wedding videography community.From controversial Christmas dinner opinions and Yorkshire pudding chaos to behind the scenes stories from the TWVP Summit, the lads look back on the moments that defined 2025. They talk honestly about the pressure of putting on their first in person event, the fear of whether it would actually work, and the pride of seeing it all come together on the day.There’s also time to reflect on the growth of the podcast, the guests who made the biggest impact, and what it’s meant to hear from videographers all over the UK who tune in every week on the way to weddings, edits, and shoots. It’s a reminder of why the podcast exists in the first place, to share real experiences, build community, and make videographers feel a little less alone in the madness.This episode isn’t about tactics or trends. It’s about gratitude, perspective, and closing out the year with a bit of humour and honesty before heading into what’s shaping up to be an exciting next chapter.Merry Christmas from TWVP. 🎧 Podcast SponsorsLUMIXA huge thank you to Lumix for supporting the podcast.
