Imagine being able to charge more and finally turn your dream into a profitable full time job. 

Hi I’m David,

I've been filming weddings for my company Forestry Films 10+ years. This course is about getting you real results so that you can take your wedding films to the next level.

This is the exact course I wish I had years ago. It would have saved me countless amounts of time and money.

The Goal.

I want you to consistently shoot and edit wedding films that go viral and make random strangers cry. I want you to walk into any wedding stress-free and be able to crush it no matter the couple, venue, or situation.

Here's
The Deal.

01—There is a secret formula to shooting and editing amazing wedding films and I want to teach it to you.

02—I want you to finally be able to crush it at every wedding, kick stress in the face and tell better stories.

03—I want you to raise your rates by raising your value, put weddings on autopilot and take control of your business.

In order to understand the secret, you need to understand my story..

I wanted to quit.

Two years into my wedding career and I was done. I dreaded shooting weddings. Every wedding I'd get paralyzed with fear. What if I don’t get all the shots I need? What if the photographer is hard to work with? What if I make a bad film and the couple hates it? Will I be awkward and fail at directing/posing the couple? My last wedding went well, but can I do it again?

Line

Something had to change...

I turned to the internet for help. I was desperately searching for the magic bullet for success. Every day I'd painstakingly study hundreds of wedding videos, blog posts, and YouTube videos. Yet, I was still lost. At every wedding, I was more and more confused. I'd stand there frozen not knowing which technique to implement.

Then I realized something

Method

Every great wedding filmmaker has a system that they’ve mastered. I needed to break down every aspect of the day from preps to reception and develop a system for shooting, lighting, and directing every moment.

Process

Giving a couple an experience on the day is everything! To create great films I had to master and systematize interaction with the couple. All in a way that didn’t feel forced and always allowed me to get authentic reactions.

Consistency

Every wedding is so different. I realized I needed a system that would work for Indian weddings to Adventurous Mountaintop Elopements.

Over the last 6 years I tried numerous methods in search of the perfect formula. Each time I'd tweak the system, field test it at a real wedding, throw out what didn't work and keep what did.

My goal was to create a step-by-step process anyone could follow to effortlessly and consistently shoot and edit amazing wedding films worth $5K+.

Finally, no matter the client, venue, or situation I can craft an incredible authentic wedding film every single time.

It's the same system our team has used to transform our business into a multiple 6-figure per year company solely from shooting weddings.

The ultimate course to help you craft $5k+ story based, stress-free, and cinematic wedding films.

Highly recommended! This course has paid for itself tenfold. It is loaded with valuable information that only comes along with the experience of filming weddings for a decade. It is evident that David truly put forth an incredible effort in designing this course. I'm so grateful I decided to take the leap and purchase Craft 5k wedding films! My business has exploded after applying what I learned!

Who is this course for?

This course is for Wedding Filmmakers who are tired of being stressed out before and after every wedding, want to take their editing and storytelling to the next level, need a repeatable wedding system to use for them and their team, are done not being able to raise their rates because their films have stayed stagnant, are sick of not knowing how to pose couples, and want to automate shooting weddings so they can gain more freedom in their business.

30 Day Guarantee

My #1 goal is to see people succeed in their businesses. I am beyond confident that this course will help you do just that. However, if you go through all the material and feel like it isn't a good fit, I will give you 100% of your money back.

What you will
learn to craft.

This course is free

Even if you only raised your prices by $500 after using the techniques taught in this course within a few wedding bookings the course would have completely paid for itself.


Your Investment

How much is not raising your value and in turn raising your prices costing you? How many weddings didn't go the best they could have because you didn't have a system in place? How much time, resources, and money have you spent stressing out before, during and after every wedding? A lack of a foolproof wedding plan may already be costing you a great deal. But fear not, together we can change all that!

Line

It revolutionized my filmmaking. It helped me really learn how to film for the story and then put it together afterward. I was getting lost before it, and it gave me perspective. I go back to it all the time to refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I've never shot a wedding before?
That’s actually perfect! This means you haven't formed any bad habits when it comes to shooting weddings. This is awesome because you will absorb the information like a sponge and be able to shoot your very first wedding with ease and confidence.
I don't have much time, it it really worth it?
I feel you. Most of the content online is just "fluff" that isn't very helpful and it's often super vague. This course is not that way. I go ridiculously in-depth on every topic and make sure it's straight to the point in order to deliver you the fastest results.
Will this course teach me how to use my camera?
This course is very detailed and specific, however we do not go over intricate camera settings. We’ve found the user manual that comes with your camera is better suited for that.
What is the TAO Mentorship Community?
Never get stuck. I, along with other students, will be in this private group every week answering your questions and making sure your business is on track. This group is focused on helping you succeed. Inside the group, you will be able to talk with people who are at the exact point you are at right now. Also, inside this group, at any time you can share any part of your business and get detailed actionable feedback from me and others. This includes deep reviews on your films, website, and social media. It's the closest thing to having me right there with you as you grow every aspect of your business. This non-Facebook group exists to be a safe home to collaborate and get mentorship from myself and other growth-minded filmmakers. Lastly, the group is privacy focused and free from social media.
I have a wedding in two days, will this course help?
Absolutely! I made this course in such a way that if you needed to you could binge through it all and get everything you need even if you have a wedding the very next day.
When do I get the lessons?
You get access to the whole course as soon as you sign up. You can then watch all the content anytime and anywhere on your computer, phone, or tablet!
How long does it take to produce results?
This course is designed to start getting you results immediately. That being said, one of the keys to business success is consistency over time. As you stick to the system over weeks, months, and years, you will see your results grow exponentially.
Does it matter what gear I have?
Nope! Everything will be super helpful regardless of the gear you use.
Does it matter what program I edit in?
No, we’ve designed the editing modules to be useful no matter what program you edit in.
How is this course different from The Profitable Filmmaker?
TPF is a course all about the business side of wedding filmmaking (sales, marketing, branding, etc). Craft 5k is about every aspect of shooting and editing a wedding film.
What if I am in a small market?
Totally understand! We made this course to work even if you are in a small market. A lot of our students are in small markets and have seen incredible success using the systems taught in this course.
What is the Master Wedding Packaging Bonus?
A 6-lesson course about the secrets to making your pricing guide irresistible to couples. You'll learn how to: sell to your target audience, craft package names that sell, order your packages effectively, create storytelling in your pricing guide, use testimonials for maximum impact, and design killer packages.
What is the Gear Guide?
Every single piece of gear you need for filming a wedding.  I go over the best lights, lenses, cameras, audio, tripods, sliders, gimbals, drones, and bags. No rock is left unturned.

I was making $2,000 before the course and recently booked a wedding for $3700. My confidence has increased immensely and freed me to focus on the couple and not stressing them out on the wedding day.
