    The Tale of Two Taylors and Quest for Work-Life Balance

    Ever found yourself facing a mix-up that turned your workday into a juggling act? That's exactly what happened to Michael when two clients both named Taylor unwittingly put my editing queue order in disaray. In this behind-the-scenes look, he recounts the tale and share how he managed to keep his cool and client relationships intact, including navigating another couple's unexpected request for a bonus highlight reel. Discover the delicate dance of satisfying diverse client needs, like when a father of the bride asked for raw footage only—and how these experiences shape our business.

    Michael candidly discuss the quest for the seemingly mythical work-life balance, as he aims to transform my hectic schedule into a more manageable four-day workweek. He'll tell you about the strategic moves shaping his business's future, including a price increase and the decision to limit wedding bookings. Plus, hear how he gracefully handled a personal scheduling conflict without disappointing a client, thanks to Adam Bradley—who'll soon return to share his own videography tales. It's an episode full of real-life insights from the cutting room floor that you won't want to miss.

Honest dudes. They keep it real.

Honestly, I listen to every episode and these guys make me laugh cause I can relate to every scenario they have been in. I’ve tried to find other podcasts similar to these guys and everyone else is just stuck up about their high profile clients. They just get real in every episode and to me it feels like therapy. Don’t stop recording these episodes.

Best Wedding Videography School podcast this side of the Mississippi!

Michael and Adam make for a great team and compliment each other very well, not only in their work and skillset but also in their smooth sultry voices. They truly are the best Wedding Videography School podcast this side of the Mississippi. Listening to them on my dreaded hour long commute to work made me rethink my life and now i film weddings for a living, albeit I’m also very very poor now.

for real, dude? ,

FINALLY!

FINALLY, a platform for entitled men! You’ll hear quotes like “Who even WEARS masks anymore?!” (Hint: the answer is not your hosts, as they do not seem to fall into any high risk categories, so let’s make fun of high risk individuals protecting themselves!). Two stars for seeming to know what wedding videography is about; I just couldn’t make it past that particular conversation.
