🎞️🫆Stranger Things and Crime Scenes - with Dan Does Weddings | From This Day Forward

In this episode of From This Day Forward, I'm joined by Dan from Dan Does Weddings for a conversation that goes far beyond wedding videography. We talk about Dan's journey into filmmaking, how he got started in wedding videography, and what it takes to build a successful career behind the camera. Along the way, we dive into some of the more unexpected chapters of his story, including filming celebrity weddings, working in roofing, being in crime scenes, and how those experiences have shaped the way he approaches weddings today. Of course, we also cover plenty of wedding videography topics too - what couples should look for when booking a videographer, common misconceptions, and why video can become one of the most valuable investments from a wedding day. This is a fun, honest conversation packed with stories, career insights, and plenty of laughs along the way.
