Send us a Text Message.However you feel about the 'new thing' or what 'everyones doing' it is something we all need to be aware of so we can understand how the current trends will interact with us and our business. The new trend might not be your thing, but we still need to be aware of what potential clients might be looking for. Even if that isn't something we want to offer them, it can help us by understanding what we do that is different and how that will help us identify and find our...
Send us a Text Message.In the middle of 2024 there is so much talk in the wedding industry, specifically amongst wedding photographers and wedding videographers about how enquiries are down, bookings are down. The general concusses appears to be that it is more challenging to run a small wedding business at the moment, so for photographers and filmmakers we wanted to discuss ways to create opportunities to make money and develop additional revenue streams. And as usual, we have a go...
Send us a Text Message.For this episode I wanted to revisit a topic from episode 81 where I talked about how the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 could be a game changing cameras for hybrid shooters. Now I have had the opportunity to use it for a few more months on a variety of projects I wanted to give you a more up to date view of how useful it is as a tool for hybrid content creation or as a pure filmmaking tool for weddings and commercial work. I discuss the positives and negatives, how I have been...

Probably the most important element in our work and our unique selling point as a business is how we see the world and what drives us to do what we do and the way we do it.So in this episode we discuss where our own creative inspiration and motivation comes from and how that influ...

We reveal what our favourite lens is and what are go to piece of glass is for different parts of a wedding day.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we talk about one of the most talked about things amongst photographers and filmmakers - cameras! Hybrid photo and video shooting requires a different level of speed and features from a camera, so if you are looking to get into hybrid shooting this episode will be really useful when it comes to choosing which camera system and model to use. We discuss the cameras we have used previously, what we use now and what we will potentially look for in ...
Send us a Text Message.In our first proper episode hosting together we discuss the challenges of capturing a wedding in still photography and videography as a solo hybrid shooter.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode I ramble on about a topic really close to my heart - music. Music is a huge part of my creative inspiration and forms a large part of what I believe makes my work unique to others. Not necessarily because I pick completely different music to all the other wedding filmmakers out there, but because of the thought process that goes into using a song. So that's what I talk about in this episode and I talk about where I get my music from. More to follow ...

Send us a Text Message.It is that time of the year when if you live and work in the northern hemisphere you will be winding down from wedding season and trying to stay motivated to get through the editing list before the ball drops for next year! After discussing a variety of topics around how we capture things on the actual wedding day we are shifting to how we edit what we captured into something that will tell the story of our couples weddings day and bring back all the excitement and emot...
Send us a Text Message.It is rare these days that I get excited by a piece of camera equipment. Getting new stuff at this point is like getting a new car, its great, but when you realise it does the same thing as your last car (gets you for A to B) the novelty wears off pretty quick. A new camera now is just a replacement for the old one that does the same thing, but a fraction better than the old one. But every now and then you see an opportunity. You can see a potential for being able ...
Send us a Text Message.In a very special and slightly different topic to our regular content Lyndsey and I drink alcohol and chat about running a business together whilst trying to live a normal family life.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode I am talking through the advances that have been made in small, portable audio recorders in the last couple of years and discussing my current and potential future go-to set-ups. Audio is so important for creating powerful and emotive films as well as capturing compressive wedding memories for our couples. For any photographers looking to add video to what they offer and for all you hybrid shooters and filmmakers out there I give you a real example ...
Send us a Text Message.Moving on from the last episode around practical considerations when composing shots on a wedding day we go into the equipment and techniques that need considering to be able to hold those cameras. How they will give you different looks to your footage. How those techniques/approaches will help or hinder you in capturing images - in particular as a hybrid shooter. If you are moving from photography to add video into what you offer this is an important episode. ...

But in this episode I give you an honest and real world view on how lighting and composition is used at weddings. I also talk through a typical wedding (my latest wedding) and the pitfalls I encountered through the day in relation to lighting and composition and how I negotiated them.

Send us a Text Message.This episode was a challenging one to record. How do you make something that is quite a dry and long topic sound interesting? I realised I can't! Don't judge me on this episode, but as I spent so long recording it and it is a really important topic for those trying to develop their practical wedding shooting skills I decided to put it out anyway!I hope it helps someone out there.The How to Shoot Hybrid Podcast is for photographers and videographers who capture weddings,...
