How to Shoot Hybrid - Photography & Videography

Send us a text

In this episode Lyndsey & Jules are taking a little break from talking about the business side of wedding photo and video and are having a laid back chinwag about things to consider when shooting a wedding as a photographer or videographer.
We are on the road with this epidose, it is the night before our first wedding of 2022 and we are in staying in a hotel in Whitby a short drive from the wedding. The audio/visuals may sound a little different!
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.

It has been a while. I have been working my way through the busy summer, giving 100% to my couples, clocking up the edits, spending time with the family and something had to give...it was the podcast.
Sorry about that, but inspired by the typical post summer season backlog and struggle to find life balance as a small creative business owner I wanted to pass on things I have learnt and developed that may be helpful.

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?
