YouTube in 2020

We love YouTube, and here is why. That is where our couples are. Maybe not in the YouTube app, but when they search for wedding videos on google, YouTube videos show up first. If you've done your job to build the proper search results, your videos will show up. If the videos are good, couples will book you.

Both Nick and John have traveled the country shooting amazing weddings all because of YouTube. It takes some time, but building a following on YouTube will only help you in your business.

Believe it or not, but it's been 40 episodes since we've had a chat about YouTube, so we wanted to update you with some new content!

Weddings on a RED with John from Martin Weddings

Have you ever looked at someone's work and thought, 'yes!' That's the look. Those are the colors. How do they do it? Well, that's how we felt about John Martin's work from Martin Wedding Co.

We couldn't put our finger on why his films looked so different. The answer? He shot many weddings with a RED camera.

We spent quite a bit of time in this episode talking to John about the gear he uses and if he thinks that a RED is actually a great camera for weddings. If you're a gear head you'll appreciate this episode.

101. Emotional Storytelling with CHPTRS || How To Film Weddings Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

As wedding filmmakers, music plays such an important role in our films. Finding good music used to take forever. With sites like MusicBed, we have a much easier job.

A couple years back, a band called CHPTRS came out of nowhere and gave us music that helped us all elevate our films. We have both used CHPTRS so many times in our films, and were beside ourselves when the band told us they'd be on the show!

Josh and Jerad, formed CHPTS, and have been making music for a few years now. We talk to them about how they make their music, and the creativity it takes to put it all together. We break down how they come up with their songs, and produce such a unique sound. We also talk about how their art is so personal to them, and it's so incredible to see how people perceive their art.

We can not wait for you all to check this episode out!
