Ep. 086 - From Police Sergeant to Wedding Storyteller with James Tracey
In this episode, Danny and Jase sit down with award-winning filmmaker James Tracey, who shares his incredible journey from policing the streets to crafting emotionally charged wedding films. James opens up about how his years in the police force shaped his calm, observational shooting style, his transition from photography to videography, and how mentorship from Jeff Wood transformed his storytelling approach.
They discuss the evolution of the wedding film industry, the impact of hybrid shooters, and why James structures his packages around the feature film as the emotional centrepiece. James also talks about judging for The Wedding Industry Awards, his thoughts on trends like vertical teasers and the infamous “5,000x1” format, and how he balances creativity with what clients truly value.
To top it off, he reveals one of his biggest on-the-job mishaps—and how AI nearly helped him fix it.
A must-listen for anyone navigating creativity, competition, and storytelling in modern wedding filmmaking.
