027: LIVE from Las Vegas at WPPI With Charlie Hilbrant II How To Film Weddings Podcast

Should you just have an Instagram page? Should you buy a template? When should you upgrade to a full on branding update? We have you covered. In this week’s episode, Nick and John are diving into your website, and whether or not you are doing it right, based on the position you are in with your brand. You do not want to miss this one!

In this week’s episode we will literally walk through each kind of website you can have. Whether it be an Instagram page, a 1 page template, a multi-page template, or a full blown branding package from a professional company. Where you are in business plays a huge role in this, and you don’t want to be continually looking at other wedding videographer’s to determine what you should be doing.
