E103 | I almost quit28 Mar 202600:38:56

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.

E102 | Innovation using Cinematic iPhone Footage with Jeff Wood Visuals15 Apr 202501:29:50

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.

E93 | Make Extra Money From Your Camera07 Jun 202401:26:15

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 good laugh along the way and share our experiences of trying, testing and implementing those additional opportunities to earn more money from using our cameras and the skills we have developed over the years.

E3 | Launching a successful wedding venue in 6 weeks. | New Craven Hall28 Jan 202101:21:45

On Episode 3 of the Wedding Mavericks podcast I am interviewing Jane & Ben, the owners of New Craven Hall.

This unique, industrial/urban venue in Leeds was transformed from  a warehouse home to a nightclub, into a stunning wedding venue in just 6 weeks by Jane and Ben, after they identified a gap in the market, to create a wedding venue that people like them would want to celebrate in.

This was such a great story to listen to and there was so much great information that came out of it for anyone starting a wedding business. The real takeaway is inspiration, as there story highlights that anyone can take an idea and turn it into a reality without huge amounts of money or industry specific experience.

E2 | It's the best job!24 Jan 202100:38:26

On the first proper episode of the Wedding Mavericks podcast I am discussing how being a business owner or service provider in the wedding industry is probably the dream job for most people. 

Things might be difficult right now for all of us who work in the wedding industry. Financially the pandemic has hit us extremely hard and there is a lot of short and medium term uncertainty. But what we do know is things will eventually improve and people will still get married, have weddings and plan celebrations. 

We know our industry will come back to life. In this episode I want to remind you why working in the wedding industry or running your own wedding business is such an amazing career or job and highlight some of the amazing attributes you have as a person to be running a your business or providing your service.

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.

E91 | Where we get our creative inspiration26 Apr 202401:43:00

As photographers, filmmakers and hybrid shooters what we offer to our clients is not just our creative skill, artistic flair or the technical knowledge we have to create photographs and films. 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 influences our work and the way we run our businesses. We hope that this might stir up a few thoughts around why you do what you do and how it influences your approach. This is how you truly understand your why and what you should build your brand around.

E89 | Camera chat for hybrid photo / video12 Apr 202401:09:51

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 future cameras. It's not just about geeking out on tech, this conversation goes into practical considerations and we even contemplate if it really matters what you use.

Between us we have a healthy experience of using cameras from most manufacturers, so although we have our favourites, we chat about this in an objective way and we hope you enjoy the insight.

E84 | Using music in your wedding films and where to find the best music14 Dec 202300:44:12

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 on the music thing in coming weeks as I try to assist you in finding music for your own films.

E101 | I Show What I Love with Award Winning Documentary Photographer Erica Hawkins26 Feb 202501:42:04

On this episode I get to chat with a brilliant, multi award wining documentary style wedding photographer Erica Hawkins who originally came from a background in filmmaking. 

Some of Erica's awards include Nine Dots Photographer of the Year 2024, This is Reportage Top 10 photographers in the UK, Fearless Top 50 Photographers of the World, TWIA regional winner and the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize which provided Erica with the opportunity to see her work exhibited in the national portrait gallery!

We talk about everything from filming at Glastonbury as a student, to learning what works in an image while working at a commercial art publishing house. How she transitioned into weddings, battled kidney cancer and overcame imposter syndrome to become a multiple award winning documentary wedding photographer! 

Erica's story is packed full of inspiration and nuggets around capturing images, knowing your numbers and finding balance. She explains her progress for capturing an amazing award winning image that she took while I was working alongside her and she talks about how she feels highlight films can be incorporated into a photography business.

E82 | The secret to an efficient and effective editing workflow20 Nov 202300:53:23

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 emotion. 

Editing is the most time consuming aspect of being a photographer or videographer, which means having efficient processes when it comes to this area of your business is where you can gain the most time back. I am going to share my process for editing which will hopefully help you to think about your own editing and organisation process and how you can be as efficient as possible.

E81 | The game changing new camera for hybrid shooters06 Nov 202300:46:03

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 to use something to do things you couldn't do before. That's what happened for me when they announced the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. This fairly cheap, small and unassuming camera might just be the thing I have been looking for to be able to elevate and create further efficiencies in my workflow as a hybrid photo and video shooter. The best part is, if this is what it can do, think of where we will be in a few years time - that's even more exciting. The future is here!

So I bought it and in this episode I discuss my initial thoughts, its initial use at a real wedding and how I plan to integrate it into my set-up going forwards.

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 of why the newer audio recorders are well worth the investment.

E74 | Shooting fundamentals for wedding photographers and videographers24 Aug 202301:06:57

When we first started out there wasn't one place we could go, one person who could explain the basic fundamentals of what we would need to consider and the knowledge and skills that we should develop to become confident and competent at shooting weddings as a photographer or videographer. 

So as most people are likely to be in the thick of their wedding season and will be actually shooting weddings rather than focussing on editing, marketing and their business we thought it was a great time to record a series of podcasts that would explore what the fundamentals are and to delve into areas that can be more difficult to master.

In this milestone episode (number 100!) I am speaking with Martin & Daiga Cheung who are a married couple providing photography and videography. Although they have separate businesses they are able to offer a combined photo and video package to couples as well as having their own clients, a really great business model to consider for any of you working with a spouse!

We have a great conversation about their experiences of how the industry has changed over the last decade or so and how they feel things are evolving now. They share how important it is to keep the couple at the heart of what we do, rather than getting sidetracked by what we as the creator wants to make. This episode is packed full of great takeaways for photographers and videographers at any stage of business.

E72 | Why Hybrid shooting helps you serve different types of clients and increases your revenue potential04 Aug 202300:38:57

As most of our work is from photographing and filming weddings and probably most of the people in this community are doing the same we usually discuss topics around hybrid shooting weddings. But hybrid shooting can provide so many opportunities for photography and videography work outside of weddings. 

In this episode we discuss how you can increase your revenue and create greater financial security by diversifying the work we do and incorporating photo and video into what we offer to those clients making us more likely to be hired.

E69 | The lines are blurred! 14 Jul 202300:43:42

In this rather ramble-esk  episode, I explain how I found out through a Facebook poll that it no longer really matters if you are a photographer or videographer, you can capture/create/post whatever you like and it is totally acceptable! 

Does this mean there is no line in the sand anymore? Is there no distinction between your role or job at a wedding or on a commercial project? Can you literally just please yourself despite what you were hired to do? I am not sure....but according to a fairly large sized response to a question of our peers here in the UK, this appears to be the case. 

I do think this is a great piece of evidence that attitudes towards hybrid content creation is changing and that everyone has started to shift their mindsets to a different way of doing things. Here is to the future of lines becoming even more blurred when it comes to photography, videography, filmmaking and creating content!

E66 | Why Learn to Shoot Both Photo & Video (Hybrid)30 Jun 202301:18:17

In this episode we are discussing the reasons why you should consider developing your skills as a hybrid photography and videography creator. We talk about our personal experiences since we started our photography and videography business, as well as sharing experiences of other people and our observations of how the industry has changed in recent years.

We talk about the consumer demand for multi-skilled photographers and videographers for weddings and commercial projects. How that demand has been influenced and fuelled by advances in technology and how evolving our businesses can help to give us a competitive edge moving forwards.

E65 | The Evolution of Photography & Filmmaking (and where things are going)23 Jun 202301:10:56

In this episode we are looking at how photography and filmmaking began and how they have evolved over time so that we can make predictions on where the mediums of photo and video are going. 

For a couple of hundred years the progress made in image capture and preservation was relatively slow, but in the past 20 years the industry has changed beyond recognition. The speed at which technology is now changing the way we can view/watch images or videos is fuelling the appetite for visual content in a way that it never has before. 

It is changing the format, mediums and methods that we consume audio visual content. It is influencing artistic and aesthetic styles, and it is changing peoples priorities when it comes to expression and creation. 

Where is the industry going? Are photography and videography still separate mediums/processes? Will they continue to be in the future?

E64 | How we Shoot Hybrid at Weddings16 Jun 202300:54:54

In the first proper episode since we changed the name of the podcast we discuss a little bit of background in regards to hybrid shooting and our journey from offering a single service (photography or videography) to offering both together at weddings or to commercial clients. 

We talk about the experience we have had of adapting to providing both still and moving images, and we go through an overview of how we do this on a typical wedding day. 

This episode is a must listen if you are considering (or have considered) providing both wedding photography and videography together. We give you a great starting point to see how this can work really well at weddings whether you are a team of two or a solo shooter and that the key to success is preparation and setting expectations with your wedding couples. 

So if you are a wedding photographer or a wedding videographer we hope this gives you a great starting point when it comes to learning how to shoot Hybrid at weddings.

E99 | 2025 The Year of Hybrid Shooting!09 Jan 202500:53:30

In this episode I go through why I think this year is the year that Hybrid Photography and Videography shooting will completely blow up. Sure, the past few years there has been a rise of people using both photo and video to tell stories, particularly to market themselves and we have seen the popularity of content creation becoming an integral part of all our businesses. 

But I really believe we are at a tipping point where video is no longer an afterthought or a tag on to what consumer / clients / couples want and what businesses need to offer. I feel this year is when it becomes integral to being a creator and technology is almost at a point where there is no longer a reason to not capture both still and moving images as a part of your work. 

It's the start of a New Year, so a great time to consider how you want to take your business and your storytelling skills forward into the future. If you have been sat on the fence about trying to use video or photo in your work then hopefully this episode will provide the motivation to take some action, experiment and see where hybrid shooting could take your business.

E63 | Welcome to the 'How to Shoot Hybrid Podcast'12 Jun 202300:02:18

Yes, after recording 62 episodes we have decided to change the name of the podcast. You could say this is a terrible decision, but there is a really good reason that you can hear part of in the previous episode (62) and we will be discussing in the next episode when we dive into a full episode of the new format. 

Hybrid photography and videography is growing exponentially. We can see this in all aspects of what we do from the wedding days, to the enquiries and the general business functions like marketing. No longer is video an add on, video is becoming as important as taking stills to both our couples and to us as business owners. 

We want to create a place to discuss things that cover both photo, video and how we will use the tools we have and the skills we can learn to be able to do both of them to a high standard. This is a place to innovate, adapt and a space to do that with no judgement or negativity. This will be a place for you (and us) to grow. We hope you com join us. 

For now, here is an introduction to the new name and we hope you will continue to listen. Thank you!

E60 | Winners & Losers19 May 202300:40:25

In this episode of the podcast we are discussing different experiences of real weddings from the past 12 months and how they have either felt like winners, losers or a bit of both.

Obviously we love capturing weddings and we really enjoy the majority of weddings we are invited to capture, but some can be the most perfect days with the perfect couples and can be really fruitful for your business and on a personal level. Other experiences might feel like you came away from the situation losing out in some way and often this can be an unexpected outcome. 

The purpose of this discussion is to share some of our up and down experiences of recent, hopefully you will be able to relate to this in some way. The key takeaway being that you cannot always predict what something will be like or what will happen next and often our expectations of something; either good or bad, can be the thing that creates extreme feelings of positivity and negativity. These can be the feelings that cause the most struggles when running a creative business.

E59 | Forget FOMO and balance your business with your life12 May 202300:41:29

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.

So in this episode that's what we are talking about. We want to give you permission to be you, to stay in your lane, own your vibe and most importantly focus on your own happiness and enjoyment in running your own business!

E54 | Pricing in 202324 Feb 202301:20:13

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. 

If we can help any further or you have any thoughts on today’s topic, we’d love to hear about them so please hit us up on the socials at: @weddingmavericks  (https://www.instagram.com/weddingmavericks)

E53 | Know your numbers03 Feb 202300:57:40

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.
