Ep. 005 - Relationships Are Great. Your Films Should Be Too

In this episode, Cam, Kyle, and special guest Jacob dive deep into what it really takes to succeed in wedding filmmaking — and why connections alone aren’t enough.

They talk:

  • The power of planting seeds (and how one simple DM led to a top-tier booking)

  • Why “execution over intention” is what actually builds trust

  • Early-career missteps (like backwards hats and temple weddings) and what they’d do differently

  • Finding your voice in a sea of inspiration, competition, and imposter syndrome

  • And why your portfolio is your soil — if it’s not rich, the seeds won’t grow.

Whether you're new to the industry or feeling stuck mid-career, this one’s packed with both practical insight and honest encouragement.

📄 Show Notes

Topics covered:

  • Why making connections isn’t enough without a strong foundation

  • Finding your true creative voice — even after years of shooting

  • The real reason you’re burnt out (hint: it's not just the workload)
