Training, Mentoring & Educational Resources for Filmmakers
Learn the skills to master videography, grow your business and build a better work-life blend
I GET IT. I FEEL THE SAME WAY AS YOU DO
Passionate about my work and at the same time, a slave to my business. As Creative Director of International Wedding Brand Story Of Your Day, I totally relate to those feelings that being an entrepreneur and an artist sometimes feels like two entities.
I understand that it matters you’re passionately invested in your work. Evolve is about becoming better at what you do, taking your business to the next level, but without compromise, and it’s about falling in love with your work again.
TURNING YOUR PASSION INTO YOUR JOB IS EASIER THAN FINDING A JOB THAT MATCHES YOUR PASSION …
EVOLVE IS ALL ABOUT YOU & YOUR BUSINESS
There’s no better time to invest in yourself – to take your videography from ordinary to extraordinary, shape your brand, grow your business, make more money and feel more fulfilled.
Our work together will enable you to create your own success, without compromise, with me as your guide, advocate, trainer and mentor.
Here’s how…
Introducing
Do you want to make money from your passion and feel aligned to your brand?
Are you looking to create a ‘Freedom Lifestyle’?
This highly-curated programme will enable you to Evolve from being underpaid and overworked to only filming weddings with your ideal clients in your dream locations (and for much more money) while overcoming ‘imposter syndrome’ and the fear of what other videographers are doing.
This is the only online academy of its kind, exclusively designed for female & female-identifying filmmakers.
The programme includes an extended online course, with 3 levels of access. It is accompanied by awesome benefits including bonus modules and exclusive content, accountability, weekly webinars and zoom rooms, networking, hands-on support, and coaching from me.
Or you can ‘DIY’ it with Evolve Online Courses!
An awesome selection of comprehensive and immersive online videography courses where you can tap into my knowledge and training anytime, anywhere.
These courses are for photographers and videographers like you, who dream of a career that makes an impact – while paying the bills and ‘evolving’ from the love of your craft.
Each programme is designed to enable you to advance your filmmaking & storytelling skills and is business-driven to support your growth and brand development.
“Emma is an icon to touch. I have seized every opportunity to take advantage of any mentoring she offers and my business now proudly and confidently offers videography alongside photography. And while nothing compares to a happy client, I am still most proud when Emma approves of my work.”
-Natascha, Belle & Sass
“Show Emma a piece of work and she will know within seconds how you could make it even better.
She is an excellent storyteller, knows everything about gear and is a one of a kind teacher. I know I succeeded with a wedding film when she has nothing more to add.”
-Isa, Belle & Sass

“Emma’s work is as stunning as the scenery your eyes are awarded with as you travel through Switzerland. ‘Story Of Your Day‘ is not only worth a view but a long lingering visit as you settle back with your favourite poison and take in the work of a filmmaker who’s truly learnt what the movie button was intended for on a DSLR or mirrorless camera”
Neale James
The Fujicast
“Emma is one of Europe’s top female wedding filmmakers and helping to level the playing field in a predominantly male industry. She has twenty year’s BBC filmmaking under her belt and ten years shooting weddings which, quite frankly, is like being an Olympic athlete of video. She is not only a leading female wedding videographer trainer but the only videographer who specialises in educating and inspiring female filmmakers.”
Rangefinder Magazine
