• EP. 071 - Say Hi to AI - ChatGPT and How We Use It
    2025/07/10

    In this episode, Danny and Jase dive into how they’re weaving AI—specifically ChatGPT (aka Godfrey)—into their wedding film businesses. From using transcriptions to craft better Instagram captions and SEO-friendly blog posts, to summarising client calls, rewriting brochures, and even generating custom LUTs (!), this chat is packed with practical ways to make AI your smartest team member yet.

    They also share honest thoughts on the risks, the weird AI mistakes, and a few hacks you can steal today to free up more time for shooting, editing, or maybe just sleep—if you’re lucky.

  • Ep. 068 - Confused Clients Don’t Book
    2025/06/19

    In this episode, Danny and Jase talk all things clarity — not in your editing, but in your packages. They open up about the chaos of moving house during wedding season and still trying to run a business, but quickly get into the real meat: why unclear packages cost you bookings and how to fix them.


    From structured breakdowns to removing friction for your couples, this is a practical, no-fluff episode designed to make your brochure work harder.



    You’ll hear:


    • Why “clear is kind” when it comes to how you present your films
    • What to include in your brochure to avoid confusion
    • How Jase's new à la carte model is helping him book more add-ons
    • Tips for handling common client misunderstandings
    • The importance of letting couples ask questions on sales calls
    • A surprising reason why you might be confusing your couples, even when it seems obvious to you

  • Ep. 067 - The Cheat Code to Better Wedding Films with Roo Films
    2025/06/12

    In this episode, Danny and Jase are joined by Roo from Roo Films to dig deep into the strategy behind his brand-new course, “Cheat Code.” This isn’t just another online workshop packed with fluff — it’s a no-nonsense, step-by-step system designed to help wedding filmmakers move from “vibes-based edits” to structured, story-led films that actually connect.


    Roo shares the creative journey behind building the course — and why “Cheat Code” is built for people who want to feel proud of what they make again.


    You’ll hear:


    • 🔥 How “Cheat Code” was born — not from a marketing plan, but from real creative frustration and the need for a clearer system
    • 🎯 Who the course is for — wedding filmmakers and photographers looking to explore video. This is for you
    • 🧠 What you’ll actually learn — including story-building structure, preparation workflows, and mindset shifts that make editing easier
    • 📊 All about THE DATA SHEET — Roo’s downloadable tool to track leads, income, and referral sources so you can see what’s working in your business, not just in your edits


    You’ll also hear Roo open up about the emotional side of filmmaking, how comparison nearly shut him down, and why this course might be the first time a lot of creatives actually enjoy structure.


    If you’re curious about what’s really inside Roo’s “Cheat Code” course — this is the pod for you. It’s not just about story — it’s about sustainability, clarity, and falling back in love with filmmaking.

  • Ep. 065 - There’s Still Money on the Table — Even After the Wedding
    2025/05/30

    💡 Episode Highlights:


    • Both hosts share life updates (new houses, illness, and parenthood exhaustion).
    • They address the current slowdown in wedding bookings and brainstorm ways to increase income from past clients.
    • Main Topic: Upselling services after the wedding day, not just before.



    🛠️ Key Upsell Ideas Discussed:


    • Raw Footage Compilations (morning, drinks reception, dance floor) edited with crossfades and trimmed for smoother viewing.
    • Anniversary / Holiday Promotions (e.g., Black Friday, Christmas, one-year anniversary offers).
    • Social Media Clip Packages – edited or raw clips tailored for couples to create reels.
    • Guest Interviews or “Video Messages” – captured candidly or in a photo booth style, positioned as emotional add-ons.
    • Vendor Content – offering highlight clips to bands/DJs present at weddings for a fee.
    • Super 8 Add-ons – Another avenue to gain some additional revenue
    • Smart Framing & Audio Transitions – Jason asks about editing crossfades, giving a mini tip on using shortcuts in Final Cut Pro.

  • Ep. 064 - Business on Hold: When Life Takes Over
    2025/05/22

    In this episode of That Wedding Videographer Podcast, Jason shares the absolute chaos of what might be the worst-timed house move in history. With four weddings in four days, a 33-week pregnant wife, no internet, and a solicitor nightmare that nearly left him homeless — this one’s a ride.


    We chat about the reality of juggling life and business when everything hits at once, the guilt that comes with stepping away, and why being open on social media might just be your best tool in moments like this.


    Whether you’re in the thick of wedding season or just trying to keep all the plates spinning, this episode is your reminder that it’s okay to pause — and that you’re not the only one winging it.
