Simple. Be good at what you do. There's some very talented people producing creative and innovative wedding films - these are the chaps that lead the wedding videography arena and those that can command £2k plus weddings.

The market you're aiming at is saturated with individuals producing videos at cost prices to make a few quid. And a few quid is all they make. They may well boast that they're making a pretty penny, but put in the context of an annual income, it's peanuts.

I would strongly advise that you plan your next steps wisely. It may seem like an easy route into a creative industry, but like any business you need to produce a business plan to stand any chance of success. Your website is a case in point; as a fairly creative chap, I find your site somewhat wanting in the design department. For me, I would instantly associate this with either laziness (if you are artistic) or a lack of artistic talent. Of course, not everyone with an eye for a shot and dab hand in the cutting room is a graphic designer - but you should at least get the basics right. Simple things like uniform use of text and size stand out a mile.
