• TWVS 26 SPECIAL #9 - Why Your Delivery Experience Matters More Than You Think, with Vidflow
    Mar 26 2026

    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.

  • TWVS 26 SPECIAL #8 - Why Russell Built Wedola for the Wedding Industry
    Mar 15 2026

    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.

  • TWVS 26 SPECIAL #7 - Stop Posting Randomly: How Filmmakers Should Actually Use Social Media with Ben Journee
    Mar 6 2026

    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.

  • TWVS 26 SPECIAL #6 - Super 8 Isn’t Scary: How Becky Kinross Turned Film Into Her Signature Style
    Feb 27 2026

    In this Summit Special, Jason and Danny are joined by Becky Kinross of Films About Love to talk about one of the most talked-about formats in wedding filmmaking right now, Super 8.

    Becky shares how she went from curiosity to confidence using analogue film, why the process feels magical compared to digital, and how Super 8 has helped her attract the right couples and stand out in a crowded market.

    They break down the realities of shooting film at weddings, from managing limited reels and unpredictable results to choosing the right moments to capture and handling low light. Becky explains how the format forces intentional filmmaking, why it’s less complicated than people think, and how it can be both a creative tool and a powerful marketing differentiator.

    The conversation also explores pricing, profitability, burnout, and how Becky’s new Super 8-only package is helping her rebalance her workload while doing more of what she loves.

    If you’ve ever been curious about analogue filmmaking but felt intimidated by the process, this episode will give you the confidence to finally give it a go.

  • TWVS 26 Special #5 - Why the Wedding Day Isn’t the Story (And What Actually Is) with Hello Tomorrow
    Feb 19 2026

    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.

  • Ep. 102 - More Weddings, More Money… Or Just More Stress?
    Feb 13 2026

    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.

  • TWVS 26 SPECIAL #4 - Sound, Mindset, and Identity: What Actually Elevates a Wedding Film Business
    Feb 9 2026

    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.

  • Ep. 101 - The Things We Thought Mattered When Starting… But Didn’t
    Feb 5 2026

    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.
