| 3/28/26 |  E103 | I almost quit | It has been almost a year since I lasted released a podcast episode, and so I felt like I needed to explain, while providing an opportunity to feel seen, heard and validated if you have found it hard to speak up and be yourself too. So you will hear me talk about personal stuff, how I have been feeling about the photo and video industry, and the wedding industry. But most importantly how I have waited to work through how I was feeling without making snap decisions or judgements, because... | 38m 56s | ||||||

| 1/9/25 | E99 | 2025 The Year of Hybrid Shooting! | 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 ... | 53m 30s | ||||||

| 5/10/24 | E92 | DJI Osmo Pocket 3 update and other gear stuff | For this episode I wanted to revisit a topic from episode 81 where I talked about how the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 could be a game changing cameras for hybrid shooters.

| 4/26/24 | E91 | Where we get our creative inspiration | As photographers, filmmakers and hybrid shooters what we offer to our clients is not just our creative skill, artistic flair or the technical knowledge we have to create photographs and films. Probably the most important element in our work and our unique selling point as a business is how we see the world and what drives us to do what we do and the way we do it.

| 12/14/23 | E84 | Using music in your wedding films and where to find the best music | In this episode I ramble on about a topic really close to my heart - music. Music is a huge part of my creative inspiration and forms a large part of what I believe makes my work unique to others. Not necessarily because I pick completely different music to all the other wedding filmmakers out there, but because of the thought process that goes into using a song. So that's what I talk about in this episode and I talk about where I get my music from. More to follow on the music thing in... | 44m 12s | ||||||

| 11/6/23 | E81 | The game changing new camera for hybrid shooters | It is rare these days that I get excited by a piece of camera equipment. Getting new stuff at this point is like getting a new car, its great, but when you realise it does the same thing as your last car (gets you for A to B) the novelty wears off pretty quick. A new camera now is just a replacement for the old one that does the same thing, but a fraction better than the old one. But every now and then you see an opportunity. You can see a potential for being able to use something to d... | 46m 03s | ||||||
