Coda Podcast - For Wedding Filmmakers

Despite already running a highly successful wedding film business, Sean made the brave decision to completely overhaul both his brand and his shooting style, creating films that feel much more connected to the filmmaker he actually wants to be.We talk about what drove that change, how he completely transformed the way he shoots and approaches a wedding day, and the ongoing challenge of repositioning his business to attract a different market of clients.We also discuss how changing personal circumstances have influenced the kind of business Sean wants to build, and why sometimes success isn’t just about growing a business, but reshaping it to work around the life you actually want to live.It’s a really interesting conversation about evolving as a filmmaker, taking risks when things are already going well, and having the confidence to change direction even when the destination isn’t guaranteed.Guest: https://www.seanraymondfilms.comHost: https://roo-films.comCoda: https://coda-conference.com💡 Coda Membership - Learn, Grow & ConnectJoin an annual membership created for wedding filmmakers who want to keep learning, stay inspired and be part of a supportive community all year round.

Today on the Coda Podcast I’m joined by Harrison Fletcher from Fletcher Films.Harrison started his business at just 21 years old and has spent the last decade building a respected luxury wedding filmmaking brand. But weddings weren’t the original plan—he actually wanted to be a YouTuber, but the storytelling and content creation skills he developed along the way became the foundation of his success.In this episode, we talk about building a business with intention, breaking into the luxury market, and why networking and collaborating with other filmmakers has played such an important role in his journey.Guest: https://www.afletcherfilm.comHost: https://roo-films.comCoda: https://coda-conference.com💡 Coda Membership - Learn, Grow & ConnectJoin an annual membership created for wedding filmmakers who want to keep learning, stay inspired and be part of a supportive community all year round.

This week, I’m joined by Tom from Hitched Productions — a filmmaker who’s been consistently booking around 40 weddings a year, largely thanks to the momentum he creates through Instagram teasers.Tom’s teasers have become instantly recognisable for their high-energy, vibrant style, delivered just days after the wedding to capture the excitement while it’s still at its peak. In this episode, we break down his full strategy for creating and delivering those teasers, how they’ve impacted his business, and the workflow behind producing them so quickly without sacrificing quality.We also dive into the unique way Tom has been incorporating a vintage camcorder into his workflow to add another layer nostalgia and depth to his films.If you’ve been looking to improve your social media output, generate more word-of-mouth bookings, or bring more personality into your films, then this hat will bring you home great value Guest: https://hitchedproductions.co.ukHost: https://roo-films.comCoda: https://coda-conference.com💡 Coda Membership - Learn, Grow & ConnectJoin an annual membership created for wedding filmmakers who want to keep learning, stay inspired and be part of a supportive community all year round.

The first episode in my series exploring wedding videographers using AI in unique ways features Steven Ringrose, who built an iPhone app designed specifically for wedding filmmakers and photographers called Prelude.Prelude can take all the information you have about a wedding — no matter how messy or disorganised — and turn it into a clean, minute-by-minute timeline complete with live notifications, helping you stay on top of every key moment throughout the day.In this episode, we break down the entire process behind building the app, how Steven used AI to bring the idea to life despite having no coding experience, and what this could mean for the future of tools built specifically for wedding creatives.Guest: https://www.prelude.dayHost: https://roo-films.comCoda: https://coda-conference.com💡 Coda Membership - Learn, Grow & ConnectJoin an annual membership created for wedding filmmakers who want to keep learning, stay inspired and be part of a supportive community all year round.
