E43 | Audio Recording for Weddings - Filmmaking & Videography

A very important topic, even if you think it is dry and boring...I promise if you are a wedding videographer/filmmaker you will get something from this - if you are a photographer, you might find out why videographers piss around with microphones and audio recorders so much!
In this episode we discuss capturing/recording audio on a wedding day. Why we do it, what we record, what equipment we want, what settings we use and some tips for getting decent sounds rather than a load of muffled crap! 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.
I talk about a few things in this episode, if you are interested in them please check out our KIT page for more details on the products and how to purchase them.

E45 | Has social media ruined weddings?

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?

We hope you enjoy listening to our thoughts on how social media has changed wedding stories, and if you have your opinions on this and you'd like to share then, hit us up on the socials at:
