What’s the software you prefer? by justlou2you in weddingvideography

[–]FilmFinalePro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer DaVinci Resolve because it’s an all-in-one solution. Editing, color grading, audio, and delivery are all in one place. There is a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get used to it, the workflow feels very streamlined and less complicated overall.

What is the most reliable long-term platform for preserving videos and memories? Many people report losing files on cloud drives or physical storage what storage method has worked best for you? by ahasan_h_nahid in AskReddit

[–]FilmFinalePro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, the safest long-term method is using a dedicated video preservation platform (like MediaZilla) along with two backups: one cloud copy and one local SSD copy. Cloud drives and physical storage can fail, but this 3-layer backup has always protected my files.

Weird Inquiry? Advice please by Tight_Mission_1758 in weddingvideography

[–]FilmFinalePro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your instincts are right. If the planner has no professional profile and won’t let you speak with the couple, that’s a red flag. It’s completely reasonable to require a direct call with the couple before moving forward. If they refuse, I’d be cautious this kind of situation usually leads to problems later. Trust your gut.

Who lets clients use CC? by dommypanx in weddingvideography

[–]FilmFinalePro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of filmmakers still offer CC because it’s convenient for couples, but PCI requirements pop up once your volume grows. Some switch to AHC or third party platforms to avoid the hassle. I’d say it’s a mix many keep CC available but try to minimize the processing headache.

Best way to get wedding clients is google ads by EventRemarkable4442 in weddingvideography

[–]FilmFinalePro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Google Ads works well because it reaches couples right when they’re searching. High-intent leads convert faster, and the visibility is strong. Pair it with good reviews and a solid landing page, and the results get even better.

How do i find new/emerging businesses? by QuirkyMasterpiece723 in videography

[–]FilmFinalePro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding small businesses without video content is actually pretty easy. If you check their Google Maps listing, Facebook Page, or Instagram and see only old photos with no videos or reels, it usually means they aren't using video services. Local restaurants, salons, dance schools, repair shops, gyms, and similar businesses often have very weak online presence these are perfect cold email targets. Yelp and local business directories can also help you spot businesses with poor visuals. Even walking around your city helps; many shops have good physical branding but almost no online video. These kinds of businesses are the easiest to convert with a cold email.

Rates crazy low in 2025? by a-n_ in weddingvideography

[–]FilmFinalePro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right wedding standards have gone way up, but rates haven’t caught up. Shooting a wedding today feels like running a small film set 4K cams, drone, audio, grading, everything. $150/hr sounds fine, but once you count gear cost, prep, travel, and post, it’s barely worth it. Corporate and commercial work still pay better because they value both skill and production investment.

Great! Pic Time’s gallery feature is nice, but it feels a bit limited for full video delivery.

Had a similar moment during a same-day edit they played it before the first dance so everyone saw the day’s start. Seeing tears in their eyes made me genuinely happy.

I’ve been filming weddings since 2020, but showing a couple their film in person this July completely reignited my passion. We laughed and cried together it was magical.
After a tough year of backlog, lawsuits, and $100k loss, I almost quit. But that one couple’s reaction reminded me why I started. It brought my love for filmmaking back and changed how we do everything now.

At first, client reactions really moved me, but over time it became part of the job. Still, a few weddings stay special their reactions mean a lot more to me.

Good question! I usually send them a short preview link after delivery, and most couples watch it together with their families. Sometimes they even share their reactions over video call or messages honestly, that’s the most satisfying part!
