| 2/24/26 | 253: If Your Wedding Business Isn’t Growing, It’s Time to Prune | We can shoot more. We can post more. We can work harder. But if we never refine what we’re building, growth eventually stalls. A rose garden doesn’t flourish just because it gets sunlight and water. It flourishes because it’s pruned with intention. The same is true for your wedding photography or filmmaking business. In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually takes to elevate: archiving old work, refreshing your portfolio, upgrading your client experience, and letting go of habit... | 30m 35s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | 252: Community Matters More Than You Think | We can work hard. We can set big goals. We can stay consistent. But if we’re constantly sharing those goals with people who doubt us, downplay them, or don’t understand them, it slowly chips away at our confidence. We are the product of the energy around us. In this episode, we talk about building a business village that pushes us forward instead of pulling us back. Because wedding photographers and filmmakers often work in isolation, and isolation can stunt momentum. We’ve seen it over and... | 30m 19s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | 251: Why You’re Stuck (Hint: You’re Playing Too Small) | So many creatives set goals that feel safe. Goals that won’t rock the boat. Goals that guarantee you won’t fail… but also won’t grow. In this conversation, we’re unpacking how playing small quietly limits your income, your opportunities, and your confidence—and what actually happens when you decide to aim higher. We talk through real examples of saying yes before you feel ready, making strategic moves that don’t pay off immediately but compound over time, and why momentum only shows up after... | 29m 58s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | 250: How to Build Momentum & Why You Need it to Succeed | In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, we talk about what momentum really looks like at different stages of business and why the strategies that once worked stop working as you raise your prices and take on fewer weddings. The goal isn’t to stay busy. It’s to stay growing. We break down the shift from volume based momentum to intentional momentum. Why fewer weddings require more strategy. Why consistent, qualified inquiries matter more than a packed calendar. And how playing it safe, even ... | 32m 09s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | 249: Why Being Fully Booked Isn’t the Goal for Wedding Creatives | So many photographers and filmmakers are doing all the “right” things and still feel stuck. You’re booked, but not excited. Busy, but not progressing. Your goals feel safe. Too safe. And more often than not, that safety is rooted in fear. Fear of saying no. Fear of raising prices. Fear of outgrowing the market you’re in. Fear of believing you’re capable of more. In this episode, we talk about the shift from booking everything to booking intentionally. Why filling your calendar too early can ... | 37m 58s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | 248: Unhinged Client Requests & Wedding Industry Truths No One Talks About | In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain on the wedding industry and share the real conversations that usually only happen behind the scenes. From unhinged client requests and early-career mistakes to red flags, pet peeves, and the boundaries that actually protect your creativity and your income, this episode is equal parts honest, educational, and entertaining. We’ve both been there. Saying yes when we should’ve said no. Offering things that sounded great on paper but burned us out ... | 38m 04s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | 247: The Real Reason Niching Down Attracts Luxury Wedding Clients | What if the thing holding your business back isn’t your talent or the market, but your hesitation to let go? In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, we sit down with Cheyenne of Cheyenne Films to talk about the power of niching down, choosing specialization over being everything to everyone, and making strategic decisions that actually move the needle. Cheyenne shares her journey from offering everything under the sun to going all-in on filmmaking, and how that clarity transformed her brand... | 40m 15s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | 246: How Wedding Creatives Go From Overlooked to Fully Booked | The new year always gives us that fresh-start feeling. A little more clarity. A little more motivation. And a quiet nudge that maybe this is the year things finally shift. In today’s episode, we’re kicking off 2026 by talking honestly about visibility, branding, and what it actually takes to become in demand as a wedding photographer or filmmaker. Not just busy. Not just posting. But booking the kind of clients and weddings that move the needle and light us up creatively. So many of us are ... | 22m 42s | ||||||
| 12/30/25 | 245: 2025 Wrapped: What Worked, What Didn’t, and What We’re Taking Into 2026 | This episode is a year-end exhale and a mindset reset. We are closing out 2025 with an honest reflection on the growth, risks, and decisions that shaped the year. From expanding revenue beyond weddings, to building League, to redefining what it means to work hard without burning out, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what real evolution in business actually looks like. If you’ve been feeling torn between wanting more and wondering if you’re doing too much, this episode will hit ho... | 59m 25s | ||||||

Enjoy this rerun and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! As you grow into higher-end weddings, your ability to communicate with planners becomes just as important as your filmmaking or photography. In this episode, Taylor and Kelley break down the key shifts wedding creatives need to make to build trust, stay professional, and become planner favorites. In this episode, we cover: ✅ How communic... | 25m 37s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | 243: Why Your Wedding Day Energy Matters More Than You Think | This week on the show, we sat down with Liza Kirk to talk about something we rarely highlight in the wedding industry: your energy on a wedding day. Your presence can shape the entire experience for your couple, and once you learn how to read the room, support them emotionally, and show up with confidence, everything shifts in your favor. Liza spent years moving from rural markets into bigger cities and higher-end events. For a long time, she believed her work needed to fit a certain look to... | 45m 53s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | 242: DEBRIEF: 3 day FAM TRIP in Hawaii | This week on the podcast, we are sharing what really happens when a big opportunity shows up out of the blue and you have to decide whether to go for it or play it safe. Kelley walks through her Four Seasons Lanai FAM trip, the whirlwind four day turnaround, and the creative growth that came from trusting herself and saying yes even when it felt overwhelming. This episode is about rising to the moment. The kind of moment that stretches you in the best way and reminds you that you are more ca... | 32m 25s | ||||||
