It's a chaotic one this week. Jason opens up by admitting he nearly got completely done over by a sophisticated hotel phishing scam ahead of his upcoming destination wedding in Spain. They had his name, his booking reference, his phone number, and a convincing branded website. His bank did what his brain didn't and blocked the payment just in time. If you're heading to a destination wedding this year, this is worth hearing before you do.

From there, Danny and Jason get into something that's been on both their minds for a while: TikTok. Not the vague idea of being on TikTok, but actually figuring out what to do with it as wedding videographers. Danny's just picked up the Insta 360 X5 and has a plan to use it for behind the scenes content from weddings, giving people a genuine POV of what it's like to work a day. Jason talks through what's actually worked for him on the platform, why it needs to be treated completely differently from Instagram, why talking head videos are massively underused by videographers, and how responding to a comment with a follow-up video sent his reach through the roof.

They also pull back the curtain a little on the That Wedding Videographer Summit 2027, taking place in Glasgow on the 23rd of March. The speaker lineup is announced, and it's a strong one. Plus they're planning a TikTok industry pro session for the day because after this conversation, it's clear most videographers need someone to give them a proper push in that direction. They want to hear from you on what kind of industry pro would be most useful, so get in touch.

A looser one this week but packed with stuff worth thinking about if social media strategy has been sitting on your to-do list all year.

What does it actually look like to run a successful wedding film business when you've already got a full-time job, a young family, and a life that doesn't stop for editing backlogs? This week Danny and Jason are joined by Andy from House of Tattersall Films, based in Uttoxeter, who has been doing exactly that for the past four years.

Andy's background is about as varied as it gets. Before weddings, he was filming music videos, festivals, and arena tours across Europe. Now he's head of marketing at an independent boarding school, a dad to a three year old, and shooting 20 to 25 weddings a year. The secret to keeping it all from collapsing? Knowing exactly where his time is best spent, and outsourcing everything else.

Andy explains why he brought in Bride and Groom Video almost from the start, how they matched his editing style from the very first film, and why handing over his editing has transformed what running a wedding business actually feels like day to day. Because of that partnership, every wedding is essentially a day and a half of his time. He gets to shoot, hand everything over, and have films back with couples in six to eight weeks, often faster. He even delivered one couple their full film before their honeymoon started.

Danny and Jason get honest about what it cost them to edit everything themselves in those early years, the sleep deprivation, the burnout, the red wine, and why discovering outsourcing earlier would have changed everything. If you're currently juggling a day job with editing your own wedding films late into the night, this one is going to hit home.

They also get into the broader question of whether outsourcing is only for people who are time poor, or whether full time videographers should be thinking about it differently entirely, as a way to free up space for the parts of the business that actually move it forward.

Remember when family holidays, birthdays and childhood memories were all captured on a little camcorder? That nostalgic look is making a huge comeback in the wedding world, and in this episode we’re breaking down exactly why we’ve started using camcorders alongside our professional filmmaking.

We talk about why this trend has exploded, how it compares to shooting Super 8, the surprisingly low cost of getting started, and the biggest mistakes we’ve made so you don’t have to.

More importantly, we share how we’ve been using camcorders to capture moments we’d never normally get. From handing the camera to the right wedding guests, to asking questions that uncover incredible audio and genuine reactions, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can start using at your very next wedding.

We also cover:

• Why camcorders create a feeling that modern cinema cameras can’t replicate
• The best way to brief guests before handing over the camera
• Questions that consistently generate brilliant audio
• Why movement and imperfections make the footage even better
• Common mistakes to avoid
• Why we now deliver all of the raw camcorder footage as a bonus for our couples

If you’ve been curious about adding a nostalgic layer to your films without the expense of Super 8, this episode will show you exactly where to start.
