It's a chaotic one this week. Jason opens up by admitting he nearly got completely done over by a sophisticated hotel phishing scam ahead of his upcoming destination wedding in Spain. They had his name, his booking reference, his phone number, and a convincing branded website. His bank did what his brain didn't and blocked the payment just in time. If you're heading to a destination wedding this year, this is worth hearing before you do.

From there, Danny and Jason get into something that's been on both their minds for a while: TikTok. Not the vague idea of being on TikTok, but actually figuring out what to do with it as wedding videographers. Danny's just picked up the Insta 360 X5 and has a plan to use it for behind the scenes content from weddings, giving people a genuine POV of what it's like to work a day. Jason talks through what's actually worked for him on the platform, why it needs to be treated completely differently from Instagram, why talking head videos are massively underused by videographers, and how responding to a comment with a follow-up video sent his reach through the roof.

They also pull back the curtain a little on the That Wedding Videographer Summit 2027, taking place in Glasgow on the 23rd of March. The speaker lineup is announced, and it's a strong one. Plus they're planning a TikTok industry pro session for the day because after this conversation, it's clear most videographers need someone to give them a proper push in that direction. They want to hear from you on what kind of industry pro would be most useful, so get in touch.

A looser one this week but packed with stuff worth thinking about if social media strategy has been sitting on your to-do list all year.
