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.

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.

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.

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.

I discuss the positives and negatives, how I have been using it. I also discuss some of the other recent gear purchases I have made and why I added them to my hybrid photography and videography set up.

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.

]]> Moving on from the last episode around practical considerations when composing shots on a wedding day we go into the equipment and techniques that need considering to be able to hold those cameras. How they will give you different looks to your footage. How those techniques/approaches will help or hinder you in capturing images - in particular as a hybrid shooter. 

If you are moving from photography to add video into what you offer this is an important episode.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

]]> 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.

We hope you’re all good and 2023 is treating you well so far.

This week we’re talking Money & Taxes.

Around the world the process of submitting your tax return and filing your company accounts is different. So locally, you’ll know what the important dates are for you. Here, in the UK the deadline for submission is 31st January. 

We’re taking today to talk through the importance of understanding how the availability of cash in your business can be helpful in helping you make investments to grow or develop, navigate through troubling times or if you can’t work due to illness. 

We also highlight the compulsory and additional deductions you may have to consider from the revenue you make from weddings, and offer advice on how to manage this and the upkeep of your accounts. 

It’s a bit of a dry topic but one we feel is important for the long term sustainability of your business.

We hope you’ve had a nice start to the new year?

Today, we talk Goals! 

Are you thinking about setting yourself any goals for you and for your business for the short, medium, or long term?

How do you set your goals?

How will you monitor them and know whether you will achieve them?

We spend some time reflecting back on the goals we set for our business back in January 2023, (Episode 15) by talking you through whether we managed to achieve them and where we didn’t, assess why this was?

Using the SMART action plan model has been really helpful for us and kept us motivated and accountable. We encourage you to use a format or structure in setting your goals, which works best for you.

Happy New Year everyone! and welcome to our first episode of 2023, and what's more is that it's our 50th episode!

Today we wanted to start the new year with a pause for thought, by reflecting back on some of our previous episodes in which we discussed the real "business" of what we all do. We wanted to highlight that by effectively using the quieter time over the next few months we can all work towards achieving success and sustain our businesses in 2023 and beyond.

We also talk briefly about hybrid shooting, our intention to bring focus to this in future podcast episodes, and our own aspirations to grow this side of our business.

We can't wait to get started on this year's episodes and look forward to continuing to grow our community together.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the festive period, been able to take some time to rest and you’re looking forward to the year ahead. 

We have been in a very fortunate position to receive some excellent reviews from our couples this year and to have used effective marketing strategies to generate lots of enquiries - what we didn’t expect however, was not to convert a single one in around six months!!!

So what did we do?

Listen to us talk about how we tried to address this and make some small adjustments to how we structured our packages to try and convert more leads.

Thank you for listening this week, we hope you’re all safe and well and able to celebrate the end of another year. Thank you for supporting us this year, we’ hope you’ll continue to follow us and contribute to our community.

Sending you our love and best wishes for 2023 Mavericks!

In this weeks episode we discuss and share our thoughts on how social media has changed the way wedding photography and videography is shared online.

We would be the first to advocate for the benefits of having used social media platforms to elevate and grow our business over the last five years, but as with all things tech, these platforms have evolved, and so too, has the way in which we use this as a marketing tool, and the way in which users’ appetite for sharing their own “creative” content.

- But has this ruined it for us as photographers and videographers?

- Is the desire to post it first, diluting the effort and skill we put into creating the highest quality images and footage?

- And what about the way we work? Do we need to change how we do what do just to stay relevant?

Spending money on workshops, equipment, buying presets or LUT’s, will all get you improved results, but sometimes the most effective changes and improvements we can make in our business are simple, easy to implement and don’t cost us anything. 

These don’t get talked about as much, probably because they are not as exciting and it can’t be sold to you as a solution! But believe us, by taking action on the points we will discuss today our wedding day’s have become less stressful and we have made the biggest improvements in our images, films and our relationships with our clients.

  1. Look through previous galleries you have taken for your wedding clients and see which ones they have favourited 
  2. Questionnaires & Consultations
  3. Shot lists
  4. Setting up your camera and knowing your equipment
  5. Flash and artificial light
  6. Understand light colour and WB
  7. Focus on the details
  8. Plan the day, be prepared, anticipate things and have contingencies
  9. No stress group shots
  10. Shoot with variety and think about perspective

It is another one of those situations where I wish someone had explained all of this to me when I was starting out/learning, it would have been SO helpful.

Recording the episode each day as we travel around the North of England we discuss the practicalities of multiple weddings in a row, how to prepare for and maintain delivery of a high quality service with the challenges of quick turnarounds and not enough rest!

It is likely that all of us at some point will end up with more weddings in a smaller space of time that we would prefer, hopefully our observations from this weekend will help others decide if this is something they are prepared to do and if so how they will approach these weddings.

This isn't a flex about money, instead it is a story to provide insight and hopefully some inspiration.

As we approach the 5th anniversary of our wedding photography & videography business we decided to reflect on the crazy journey we have been on and discuss all the highs and lows of starting a business, learning how to be photographers and filmmakers and trying to balance everything life throws at you!

When we first started shooting weddings we had zero experience in professional photo / video, we had never worked in the wedding industry and we had never worked in a business environment or started a business. We discuss all of the things we learnt, the highs and lows we experienced, discuss what we would do differently and openly share the leads, bookings and revenues we were able to generate.

By delivering a high level of customer service you will create organic marketing opportunities to find more of your ideal clients and this will compound over time to grow your business in the direction you want to take it - leading to the couples you want to work with, at the venues you want to work with, at the prices you want to charge.

We combine this with delivering that customer service and part of the customer experience with methods of managing clients that are efficient and save you a ton of time. Time saved = time to invest in other areas of your business or other aspects of your life and by providing great service and building a positive relationship with your clients = enjoying your work more.

To achieve this we discuss ways to deliver great customer service and tools we use in our business to gain efficiency, one of these being customer relationship management software (CRM) and the one we use is called Studio Ninja. We are not sponsored by Studio Ninja, but we do think their software is amazing and if you want to gain efficiency and organisation in your business you can get 20% off for the lifetime of your subscription by using this code:

Whether it is your first or your hundredth wedding, it is helpful to have a system, a flow and a plan when it comes to the practicalities and logistics of a wedding. This isn't a typical workplace with amenities on hand or if something unexpected happens you can sit down and have a think about it. This is an on the fly, can't wait for you to come up with a new plan kind of environment. So you need to be prepared for the long days and demanding situations.

We talk candidly and openly about the things you will experience at some point and why they are so important to integrate into your workflow pre-wedding and on the day itself.

The wedding mavericks podcast is a great place to learn, discuss and help you grow your wedding photography and videography business . We discuss all aspects of running a sustainable and successful business as well as the creative and technical aspects of wedding filmmaking and photography.

E18 | The cost of running a wedding videography / photography business. Do you have a wedding photography or videography business? Have you ever sat down and listed all of your costs so that you can plan financially? If the answer is yes, great - this episode will hopefully refresh things for the coming year. But if you are just starting out and need to know what to consider, or you have started your business but never really considered how much you spend on running it then you really need to listen to this episode!

In this episode we discussing the costs associated with setting up, growing and running a wedding photography or videography business. Costs will vary between locations in the world and circumstances, but as UK wedding photographers and filmmakers we have experienced the practical reality of starting our business from scratch, weathering the story of the pandemic to hopefully building something sustainable that provides a reasonable quality of life moving forward.

All of this is built around understanding the costs of running a small business, specifically in the wedding/photography/videography industry and being able to plan your pricing to cover expenditure and growth as well as provide for your lifestyle. The intention of this open and honest discussion is to provide an opportunity to consider elements of cost that you may not have thought about previously or to refresh yourself during the quieter months of the wedding season so that you can financially plan for the coming year.

We discuss fixed and variable costs, what you can expect to pay as an average/estimate and how that may influence the topic we were discussing on the last episode - pricing!

Poor physical and mental health is probably the biggest threat to our personal lives and our businesses and I know from personal experience how easy it is to ignore exercise and have a bad diet because of work commitments and not prioritising time for our own wellbeing.

This is possibly the most important topic we have discussed on the podcast and we discuss practical steps and strategies we can take to change mindset and approach towards health and fitness so that it becomes part of our daily lives rather than a chore.

Nick is a really likeable and laid back character, but he is super committed at whatever he puts his mind to, and I can see how much effort he puts into helping his clients work towards whatever they want to achieve, whether it is fat loss or performance gains.

Hopefully the discussion we have and the information Nick provides is helpful and actionable, but if you want to go a little deeper or are looking for some more support with your own health, fitness and wellbeing check Nick out at Forever Lean:

I connect so much with Hannah’s journey into her wedding business, but where her story is really inspiring is how she dealt with what we have all faced over the past year, she really did take the lemons and make lemonade.

Imagine deciding to follow your desire to become a photographer, learning from scratch on the side of your nine to five, building it up to taking the leap to go full time on your own business and then just after you hand your notice in, the world goes into lockdown. But all that did is make. Hannah even more determined to make a success of her business and find ways to navigate through the storm by making the most of opportunities that presented themselves. 

What followed were hundreds (yes I said hundreds!) of doorstep family photo shoots, creating and delivering smartphone and beginner photography courses online, whilst building a catalogue of wedding content through organising styled shoots based around her target couple and making the most of micro weddings. The result, expanding network, organic marketing opportunities and meeting her revenue targets in a situation that seemed impossible just a year ago.

All of this while being a genuinely nice person with her joyful and expressive photography for warmhearted people. We had a really great chat, and whatever stage you are at in your business there are so many takeaways you can take from this - particularly the inspiration to make it work by putting the work in.

It is rare to come across a photographer who crosses styles/genres in such a unique way. James blend's the natural and documentary with the epic and editorial. His images are  colourful and playful but elegant and classy, and having watched James capture a wedding as a guest before I knew him or was a photographer / videographer myself, I know how relaxed and unobtrusive his approach is, whilst capturing the vibe of the wedding and some amazing. shots!

It was great to hear of James's journey into photography by working his way through different  jobs in his younger years before working in graphic design. He told me all about how travelling the world with his wife is where he developed a passion for photography and the realisation of not wanting to return to the 9-5 life led him to start shooting weddings over a decade ago. 

From shooting a wedding for his neighbour in exchange for a car, to shooting 40+. weddings a year, James has seen massive changes in the industry since he first started, and we discuss how he has adapted and developed his business, how attracting clients has changed and how he built his wedding business built on authenticity.

This was a really nice conversation as I had just been on an episode of their podcast prior to recording this, so we covered so much between the two chats.

Diana came from a background in marketing and decided to start her wedding business 6 years ago after starting a family. Within the first 2 years the little pearl was an established and award winning bridal boutique, but this is where Diana realised she would need help to keep the business moving forwards so Vicky came on board with a background in events and hospitality and together they have powered through the challenges of the pandemic, have their own podcast ‘pearls girls’ and have just launched their own range of clothing and accessories.

Not only is this conversation a great insight into the practicalities of starting and growing a small business, but we also discuss how personal growth allows your business to keep moving forwards.

They tied the knot in 2019, so they have freshly experienced what it is like to plan and have a wedding. They also now model as a real couple for various wedding industry styled shoots and workshops, so they know, and therefore can give some great insight into what businesses can do to serve their couples well as well as some tips for becoming involved in or creating styled shoots or workshops.

I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to hear the experiences of a couple who have been in their position to understand the things that are important when planning a wedding and discover what suppliers should and shouldn't do to create a great experience for their couples. As many wedding industry professionals are also involved in styled shoots and content creation for marketing it is also helpful to hear the experiences of the models.

Hannah began her wedding business journey whilst working as a hairdresser around a decade ago. For many years she carried out bridal hair styling alongside doing cut's and colours in a hair salon, but as she had more and more requests for bridal hair styling she identified an opportunity to earn more money and find more enjoyment by moving away from the salon and working from home.

As her business built so did her reputation for creating beautiful hair designs and soon she was being asked by others to help them develop their skills also. Over the past 3 years Hannah has achieved an incredible amount, building a team of stylists working alongside her, hosting numerous in person workshops, and creating an online learning platform to pass on her knowledge enabling others to grow around the world.

Her love for bridal hair styling shines through, and her approach is unique which is probably why she inspires many with her styles and has gained over 100k followers on instagram! We had a great a chat about her journey and I hope you find this conversation as inspiring as I did.

I wanted to talk through what this all means and how it has left me feeling, I imagine everyone else is feeling similar. What do we do now with our time to prepare for what will potentially be the busiest period we have ever experienced in our businesses. 

There is discussion around managing time, finances and making sure you are physically and mentally in the right place for the summer and that your business is ready to push forwards stronger than ever before. A time for investing in the business with both time and money and planning ahead for new levels of success.

The restrictions in place because of the pandemic have had serious effects on the entertainment and hospitality industry, the wedding industry has been almost completely shut down for nearly 12 months. While we all wait to see what will happen as 2021 progresses, it can feel like those of us working in the industry and small wedding business owners do not know when and how they will be able to operate and generate revenue. It is easy to feel like you have no control and are constantly waiting to be told what you can do or waiting for your clients and customers to change their plans.

This podcast episode is all about what you can do to take back some control, and how you can be proactive. Actionable steps, processes, things that you may already know, or have in place, but maybe you have just been lacking the motivation and confidence to do something about it. So even if you just know that you are not alone going through it, maybe you hear something that helps, or it prompts you to reach out and get in touch with me.

Whilst still at school Neil captured an image of his mates on a bench which sparked off an interest in photography, but music was his first passion. Playing in a band and teaching guitar was where he nurtured his creativity before starting to combine his love of nature and wildlife with photography whilst volunteering at a falconry centre.

Like many photographers, it was never the plan to start a wedding business, but after photographing a couple of his friends weddings, his business snowballed from there. A decade later he has established himself as one of the most sought after wedding photographers in Yorkshire, perfectly combining documentary, reportage and fine art styles to create a flawless portfolio. 

Not only is Neil an established and successful wedding photographer, but he also travels around the world photographing wildlife in their natural habitats. From India to Svalbard, Tigers to Polar Bears, these images intertwined with emotional moments from weddings, really make Neil's instagram feed stand out - no wonder he has around 15k followers. 

There is so much amazing insight and information to take away from this conversation, from attracting the right clients, pricing, providing a great customer experience and being true to the way you want to do things. A great discussion with a really nice bloke, hope you enjoy listening.

Dom has been a wedding videographer for over 8 years and although he lives in Yorkshire he has done most of his weddings abroad in places like Italy, France and even New York in America. Starting out as a photographer and progressing into video early in his career within the wedding industry, Dom has since developed a simple approach to wedding videography influenced by industry legends Jeff Wood and Philip White and he produces timeless, cinematic films.

We discuss his journey from working for a printing company to moving into the wedding industry full time. In recent years his wife has also developed a wedding business providing a unique photo booth and Dom is heavily involved in this alongside running Bouncing Ball Films.

During the conversation we talk about everything from how Dom became inspired to get into wedding videography, how he developed his knowledge and skills by attending courses and mentorships with other wedding filmmakers and how he developed his presence in other countries, in particularly Italy. We discuss the pro's and con's of being a destination wedding videographer and some of the issues to overcome when it comes to pricing your work and finding clients who value video.

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.
