049: Shooting 100 Weddings A Year wtih Kaye Shaye Films || How To Film Weddings Podcast Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

Shooting 100 weddings in 1 year. We will say that one more time. 100 WEDDINGS IN 1 YEAR. Is this even possible? Would you want to even do this to yourself? Well Kaylor of Kaye Shaye Films did that in 2018. Over 100. This isn't a podcast to tell you that you should shoot 100 weddings in a year. Rather a conversation with Kaylor about all she has been up to, the HARD WORK she has put in to grow her business into a 6 figure company.

We also talk about the video. Yes, that video. If you haven't seen it, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3Il1A_-vwI. She was featured in a Full Time Filmmaker video which caused quite the uproar on Facebook. Questioning whether a female in the industry can really make good money, and survive in a male dominated world. Well let's just tell you this, and it is a spoiler alert, females are DOMINATING in the industry. John and Nick are pumped to share this interview with Kaye Shaye Films where we break down just how she shot 100 weddings in a year, what she is up to this year, and some helpful tips on growing a business through good ol' hard work. We also talk about how she has gone from a few thousand, to right at 20K followers on her Instagram page.

Throw on those ear buds, and get ready for some #deepnuggets as we talk with Kaylor. Be sure to follow along live inside of our Facebook Group with the conversation!

047: Destination Wedding Q&A with Henry Martens II How To Film Weddings Podcast Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

John sits down with Henry Martens of The Brothers Martens to ask all of the questions about his upcoming trip to Italy, to film his first International destination wedding. The Brothers Martens travel all around the world shooting weddings, and although John has shot nearly 500 weddings, he hasn't ever traveled outside of the U.S. to film one. John and Henry chat about all of the things to be thinking about to travel for a wedding (not just internationally). What to pack, what to leave at home, and everything in between. This podcast is a bit different, because John was really wanting to just ask Henry all of the questions regarding travel. So this one is more of a podcast where you can listen in on the conversation, and hopefully pick up a thing or two about traveling. We know this one is specific, but we KNOW that it will help you, even if you aren't planning on traveling in the near future. Listening to the conversation will give you a behind the curtain look at what all we are thinking about for some of these bigger destination packages! We have actually interviewed Henry one time before, and it is a good one! We also talk about the conference that Henry will be teaching at in October, Vision Quest. It is going to be insane! We hope you enjoy! Until next time, SEE YA!

📍Try out TubeBuddy the best tool to help grow your YouTube account: https://bit.ly/2DRHMfC Youtube. You know that video platform that is owned by Google? The #2 biggest search engine in the world? Yeah, you need to be killing it on there. The truth is, that are not on Vimeo looking for wedding videographers. Other film makers are on Vimeo. So are you too late to join the YouTube game, or is it too late to take it seriously? Absolutely not. Now is the time to take your YouTube channel to the next level. More people are on YouTube than ever before, and you need to be active on YouTube! Nick and John have both grown their YouTube channels slow and steady over the past 2 years. In November of 2017 John had under 500 subscribers. At the time of this recording, he has right at 10,000. Nick started his channel less than 18 months ago, and at the time of this recording he has over 5,000 subscribers. But who cares about subscribers if you don't get any bookings from YouTube? Well, we can promise you it has gotten us several weddings, and a lot of destination and travel weddings as well. Join us in this podcast as we talk about how Nick has added almost 4000 subscribers since January, how he got a video to go "viral" with a million views, and what it has meant to his business since growing his channel. John and Nick break down what they have been up to on YouTube, and how they are getting real clients from the platform, and how they are continuing to grow their channels each month. This episode can change your entire business. So take some notes, and really lean in. We recorded an episode early in our podcast talking about how to get found on YouTube where we break it down on how we upload / what we are thinking about, so you might want to check that out here: https://bit.ly/2Ys3FwH

045: Finding Your Voice A Little Long Distance II How To Film Weddings Podcast Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

🖥 🛒 Visit the How To Film Weddings Website & Shop: https://bit.ly/2X5PoSz

We've all seen the "typical" wedding video. The couple loves it, but does it TRULY inspire you as a film maker? Do you feel like you created something that nobody else on the planet could have created? We all get in a rut of just pumping out edits, and getting into a routine with the way we do things. Let's queue up our conversation with Josh Helton, of A Little Long Distance. If you haven't seen their work, they take it to an entirely different level. The edits aren't perfect, rather they are more raw. They include moments from times that aren't just the wedding day. Josh and his wife Jess now live in Ft. Collins Colorado, but just moved from the Nashville area. Their entire vibe is oozing with personality, and it is just so relatable, that they are charging nearly $10,000 for some of their films. He isn't doing flashy gimbal shots, or crazy camera tricks. At the core, it is just really good content. It is hard to explain what he is doing, and we think that is why so many of us are looking to their films to inspire us with our own. But he takes his films to such a personal level that they sometimes are almost painful to watch. Because it is just that intimate. Don't take our word for it, check his website out here: http://bit.ly/2Z4rjMP The point of today's episode isn't to get you to shoot like Josh, rather to shoot like YOU. What does that look like? We don't expect you to know it the first time you shoot a wedding. But we want you to challenge yourself to push to another level with your couples. To push to another level with your edits. Get out of your own box, and think to yourself "what would I make if I had no boundaries." Work on that. We hope you enjoy today's episode as much as we recording it! Also, a huge thank you to our amazing community. If you aren't part of the How To Film Weddings Facebook group, check it out here https://bit.ly/2DPCelB. It is a great place to get connected with other film makers, and to grow as artists and business people. Grab those earbuds and enjoy this week's episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast!

Show notes

🖥 🛒 Visit the How To Film Weddings Website & Shop: https://bit.ly/2X5PoSz See all of the details from The Wedding Film Retreat Here https://bit.ly/2L566iH

We have been waiting to have these two on the How To Film Weddings Podcast for some time, and are SO EXCITED to bring you Rick and Sarah Pendergraft of PenWeddings. Widely acclaimed as the best wedding story tellers on the planet, these two literally travel the globe filming extravagant weddings with beautiful stories. When you watch a PenWeddings video, you know it is them because of their careful attention to detail, and their unmatched story telling ability. So Nick and John sit down to talk to these two about how they do just that, capture riveting stories. They have amassed nearly 50,000 youtube subscribers and have had several videos go VIRAL on youtube with well over a million views (and one with nearly 9,000,000)! They didn't do this by accident, they did it by telling stories that connect with people.

We ask them their process of getting to know the couples before the wedding, deciding what stories to tell, coming into the wedding day with a gameplay, and so much more. You might want to listen through this one a couple of times, because it is packed full with great info. Not to mention, Sarah and Rick are fellow Tulsans (shout out to Oklahoma) and have known John for years.

We can't leave without mentioning that we also talked about the Wedding Film Retreat. This getaway / retreat / conference is happening next January in Puerto Vallarta. A 5 day, all-inclusive resort style retreat where tons of amazing speakers are coming in to drop knowledge. Speakers in 2020 include Matt Johnson, Henry Martens, Jonathan and Kaye, and the Pendergrafts. What a ridiculous lineup for an incredible time to grow as a professional. Check out their retreat here https://bit.ly/2L566iH to grab one of the final spots!
