496. Wedding Filmmakers Are Done Being Overlooked | Wedding Crashers
✅ Grab my free guide "10 Discovery Call Mistakes" https://john-bunn.com/free-guide For years, wedding filmmakers have been an afterthought at industry awards. Photographers get celebrated, while filmmakers are lucky to get a category or two. But that's about to change. This week, I'm joined by my friends Kyle Hustis and Camryn Bradshaw from Wedding Crashers, who decided it was time for wedding filmmakers to have something of their own. They're launching the Wedding Film Awards, a full-blown, Oscars-style celebration at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, on December 9. We're talking red carpets, black-tie attire, live music, an orchestra, 15 award categories, and some of the best wedding films from around the world being celebrated on the big screen. But this conversation is about a lot more than an awards show. We get into why wedding filmmaking has been overlooked for so long, what it takes to build something this ambitious from scratch, how they're approaching the judging process, and why this event isn't just for videographers. Photographers, planners, and other wedding professionals have a reason to be there, too. I've gotten to know these guys over the years, and one thing I love about them is that they genuinely care about this industry. They're not waiting around for someone else to create something meaningful. They're doing it themselves. If you've ever felt like the work you put into your craft deserves more recognition, I think you'll appreciate this conversation.
