Every Couple Says They're "Bad on Camera" — Here's Why They're Wrong

In this episode, wedding filmmaker Kyle Hustis breaks down the craft behind his energetic, personality-driven films and makes the case that confidence, not gear, is the real skill most filmmakers are missing. He walks through how he directs couples on the wedding day without compromising their experience, his "18 ways to shoot one moment" approach to staying creatively nimble, and why the couples who insist they're "bad on camera" tend to become the heroes of his best work.Outsource with Uncut Gems: Use code HTFW for 60% off your first edithttps://www.uncutgems.com/Kyles work:https://www.instagram.com/kylehustisFollow HTFWhttps://www.instagram.com/howtofilmweddingsFollow HTFWhttps://www.instagram.com/howtofilmweddingsshowWatch on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/Y4NHZ1QNc4ILearn morehttps://howtofilmweddings.com/

She Risked Everything To Pursue Her Dreams - Rylee Rohner's Inspiring Story

In this episode, we sit down with Rylee Rohner of Films by Ry to unpack what actually moves the needle in a wedding filmmaker’s journey. Rylee shares how she stumbled into weddings in high school, drifted through odd jobs after graduation, and eventually made a defining decision to quit everything and fully commit. Along the way, we talk about how taking uncomfortable risks created momentum, and why clarity in your craft matters more than chasing viral moments. This conversation is a reminder that meaningful careers aren’t built on luck, they’re built on intention.Outsource with Uncut Gems - Use code HTFW for 60% off your first edithttps://uncutgems.com/Follow HTFWhttps://www.instagram.com/howtofilmweddingsshowWatch on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/Y4NHZ1QNc4ILearn morehttps://howtofilmweddings.com/

The Secret To Creating Intentional Wedding Films Ft William Sarmiento

Jaired sits down with Will to trace his unexpected path from aerospace engineering to wedding filmmaking and how that analytical mindset became the foundation for emotion-first films. Will breaks down his repeatable editing frameworks, reverse-engineering process, and the role of intuition, while also touching on culture, burnout, comparison, pricing tension, and the weight of making films that outlive us. The core message: be intentional because wedding films aren’t about perfection or trends, they’re about preserving real human moments. Intention outlasts imitation.Presented by Uncut Gems - get 60% your first edit use code HTFW: https://howtofilmweddings.com/uncut-gemsFollow HTFWhttps://www.instagram.com/howtofilmweddingsshowWatch on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/Y4NHZ1QNc4ILearn morehttps://howtofilmweddings.com/
