Two weeks out from the doors opening at Gosford House, Danny and Jason sat down with Emma, the founder of The Unveil Forum, a two-day wedding industry conference taking place on the 28th and 29th of October just outside of Edinburgh. Emma built Timeless White Wedding Planning at 21 while still at university, spent years investing in conferences from Vegas to Florence, and somewhere along the way decided the UK wedding industry deserved something better than what was on offer.

After weeks of online debate, posts going viral, and more than a few heated comment sections, Danny and Jason decided to do something different. Instead of talking about content creators, they invited two of them into the studio. Lauren from Social Brides Club was the first wedding content creator in the UK, four years ago, and has built one of the most recognisable businesses in the space.

A photography and videography duo in America published a post arguing that Gen Z couples should only hire Gen Z photographers and videographers because they understand them better. That older suppliers make couples feel like their teacher is in the room. That they speak the same visual la...
Last week's episode clearly hit a nerve. The comments came in thick and fast, from videographers, from photographers, and crucially from content creators themselves, many of whom slid into Danny and Jason's DMs with voice notes saying they agreed with everything being discussed and appreciated the fact that it was handled with respect rather than the usual pile-on. This week they're back with part two, reading through the comments, sharing the responses, and going deeper on the conversation t...
It's a conversation that keeps coming up in wedding industry groups, in comment sections, and on wedding days themselves. Where does wedding videography end and content creation begin? And why does there seem to be so much tension between the two? Danny and Jase get into it this week after a post from a content creator started doing the rounds, one that was well-intentioned but ended up implying that wedding videographers don't capture the candid moments, the fleeting glances, the atmosphere...
