Show Notes
If video still feels intimidating, time-consuming, or like something you “should” be doing but can’t keep up with, this episode will change your mind.
Montana-based photographer, videographer, and educator Shayna Lloyd of Montana Diaries joins Becky to unpack the real purpose of video marketing — connection, not perfection. Shayna shares how she went from travel vlogs to running a thriving photo + video business and how video became the most powerful tool for growing trust and visibility in her brand.
You’ll hear how she uses “function-first” content to bring in aligned clients, why your video strategy should start with your buyers’ needs — not trends, and why filming should feel natural, not forced. Shayna breaks down the difference between behind-the-scenes content and face-to-camera video, how to use each at different stages of the client journey, and tips for using video you probably already have on your camera roll.
Key Takeaways
- Serve first. Video is about connection, not performance. Focus on helping your audience, not impressing them.
- Keep it simple. Use what you already have — your camera roll, your phone, your wedding days. Done is better than perfect.
- Show your process. Behind-the-scenes clips build trust and help couples see what it’s like to work with you.
- Talk to your people. Use face-to-camera videos to share your personality and values so the right clients feel drawn to you.
- Make it searchable. Use captions and keywords that answer real questions couples are Googling.
- Share generously. Share clips with your vendor team — it builds goodwill, referrals, and community.
- Start small. You don’t need fancy gear or a strategy deck. One short, helpful video can start momentum.
