| E103 | I almost quit | 28 Mar 2026 | 00:38:56 | |
It has been almost a year since I lasted released a podcast episode, and so I felt like I needed to explain, while providing an opportunity to feel seen, heard and validated if you have found it hard to speak up and be yourself too. So you will hear me talk about personal stuff, how I have been feeling about the photo and video industry, and the wedding industry. But most importantly how I have waited to work through how I was feeling without making snap decisions or judgements, because I hope to be able to find a way to be happy and content with the industry and my job! Honesty is the best way to live and I want to be honest with you. Getting this off my chest provides the best foundations to move forward, and I hope you will find it helpful. Here is to your future, my future, and all the stuff I look forward to sharing from here. On the How to Shoot Hybrid Podcast we talk about all things Photo, Video and Hybrid Shooting!

| E102 | Innovation using Cinematic iPhone Footage with Jeff Wood Visuals | 15 Apr 2025 | 01:29:50 | |
The guest on this episode is a great example of constantly innovating and moving with the times whilst continuing to create outstanding work. Jeff Wood is a wedding filmmaker who started capturing weddings back around 2008 and has worked with celebrity and luxury clients as well as being an influence for many UK wedding videographers over the past decade. But rather than just sticking with the status quo, Jeff has embraced the way technology has started to change the industry and has started using his iPhone to provide new opportunities to be creative. We discuss everything from keeping the name of his business and his choice of equipment open so he could do either photo or video. To sitting on private jets with celebrities, judging awards, monitoring the next generation of wedding filmmakers and what the future holds for wedding filmmakers. If you are into filming, cinematography and technology then you will really enjoy listening to Jeff describing his processes and how you can use your phone as a high end cinema camera. This is a real glimpse into the future, but maybe we are already there. A great conversation, I really enjoyed this one.

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.

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.

| E59 | Forget FOMO and balance your business with your life | 12 May 2023 | 00:41:29 | |
From our experience one of the most difficult things to do is detach yourself from everything around you that influences what you feel you should or need to be doing. You could be doing super well in your business, meeting all of your own goals and needs, but that constant distraction of what everyone else's is doing can be difficult.

| E54 | Pricing in 2023 | 24 Feb 2023 | 01:20:13 | |
Hi everyone, We hope you’re all well and have had a great week so far? On this week’s episode we’re highlighting the sometimes very contentious issue of Pricing! It can be one of the most difficult things to decide upon when it comes to running your wedding photography/videography business, with lots of contrasting opinions and influences to consider. But what should be informing your decisions? What will ensure you continue to be successful? As the business owner you should have a clear strategy which underpins your pricing, having taken into account the costs of doing business, and you own personal goals for income. Most of all, you need to be comfortable with what you charge. We discuss the changes we have seen over the past six years, and explain the pricing journey we have been on. The goal ofcourse is to ensure the continued success and sustainability despite the economical challenges we are all experiencing.

| E53 | Know your numbers | 03 Feb 2023 | 00:57:40 | |
Hi everyone, We hope you’re all well and have had a great week so far? On this week’s episode we’re highlighting how important it is to know your numbers! A way we can all have piece of mind in knowing we have the right amount of income, enquiries and bookings to make this a reality, and to feel empowered to price our services confidently, is to fully understand our numbers! We discuss starting with calculating your personal living costs, the costs of doing business, and move onto the deductions you’ll need to know about ie: Tax, NI, Pension contributions, how to calculate profit and finish by highlighting the importance of making sure you’re consistently tracking all of your financial and performance data. Jules prepared a helpful breakdown example of calculating exactly how much revenue your business would need to make if you needed £30,000 to live. (Figures are created for illustration purposes and using UK Tax & National insurance deductions, as at January 2023). £30,000 per year to live £6000 business expenses £30,000 + 6000 = £36,000 UK tax allowance - £12,570 Therefore, taking the £30,000 per year needed to live and deduct the tax allowance of £12570 = £17,430 (Now consider 20% tax and around 11% National insurance of £17,430, would be around £5229 in deductions) and added together (£22,659) + 12570 = £35,229 So, your personal expenses to live of £35,229 + £6,000 Business expenses = £41,229 **Which means that to earn and enjoy £30,000 in real terms each year, your business would need to generate £41,229 as a minimum in REVENUE. Also, consider that you’ll want to include a buffer into this if you want to be able to save, pay for holidays, unforeseen expenses.
