Inside the World of $100,000 Wedding Films with Gione Da Silva

👋🏻 Waitlist for THE EXPOSURE TRIANGLE: https://john-bunn.com/exposure-triangle What does it actually take to build a wedding film brand at the very top of the market? In this episode, I sit down with Gione Da Silva, a filmmaker based in England whose work has taken him all over the world and into the highest levels of the wedding industry. Gione shares how he went from Brazil to filming some of the most exclusive weddings on the planet, with collections that can reach well over $100,000 per event. But this conversation goes far beyond pricing. We talk about developing artistic taste, refining your color palette, creating timeless imagery, building relationships that compound over years, and how your work, brand, and network all have to evolve together if you want to move into a higher-end market. This is one of my favorite conversations we’ve had on the podcast because Gione doesn’t just talk about success. He talks about service, humility, creativity, family, and the long process of becoming the kind of person people trust at the top of the industry. If you're a wedding filmmaker, photographer, planner, or creative entrepreneur trying to elevate your work and attract better opportunities, this episode is packed with insight.
