Ep. 063 - Shooting Fast, Editing Slower: The 26-Week Wedding Model with John Taylor Films

From editing his first wedding film on a phone to booking 50 weddings a year and working with celebrities—John Taylor’s story is anything but ordinary. In this episode, we sit down with the creative mind behind some of the most innovative and emotionally-charged wedding teasers on Instagram.

We talk:

• Editing full weddings on a mobile
• Remixing soundtracks like a Hollywood trailer
• Balancing creative ambition with family life
• Why he doesn’t film full ceremonies
• The magic of emotional impact over gear

Plus, John shares how doing one wedding for free landed him five-figure gigs and why your “failures” might just be the fuel your business needs.

If you’re feeling stuck or creatively drained, this episode will reignite your love for the craft.
