, Wondershare Recoverit
, and Fix.Video
.

In this episode, Danny and Jason share a hilarious (and slightly painful) tale of a late-night wedding shoot gone wrong when Jason accidentally took Danny’s car keys home… an hour and a half away. They catch up on the madness of peak wedding season, from juggling seven weddings in ten days to navigating the chaos of Edinburgh city centre in August.

The conversation shifts to the business side of wedding videography – tackling quieter months, experimenting with boosted posts for marketing, TikTok strategies that actually drive inquiries, and why now is the perfect time to make changes in your business. They also dig into the ongoing videographer vs. content creator debate, offering a grounded take on why both can co-exist and how to stay competitive.

Whether you’re deep in the edit cave or out shooting every weekend, this one’s packed with relatable stories and practical takeaways to keep your bookings flowing.
