  • Hello Tomorrow | Mac & Erin

    Since 2006, we’ve been traveling the world creating one-of-a-kind wedding films for the raddest humans on the planet. To us, a good story is much more than pretty images set to music—it’s about heartfelt moments, genuine emotion, and the profound connection between two people.

    Our passion is telling affectionate and authentic stories about the greatest adventure in life… love. We believe a wedding is much more than just an event, it’s a story of two people that’s just beginning to unfold, and we believe that deserves to be captured in a timeless film.

    While most people would think of us as wedding videographers, we like to think of ourselves as filmmakers rooted in storytelling in the non-traditional sense. We love unpolished moments, unique ceremonies, and people who embrace the raw emotion that naturally unfolds on their wedding day.

  • Ideaction Consulting | Sam Jacobson

    Sam Jacobson helps wedding pros book better clients at higher prices using buyer psychology and behavioural economics.

    Luxury event pros call him up when they run out of luck, natural ability, charisma and connections, because the tips and techniques he offers help even the best reach their full potential.

    Sam’s spent 17+ years obsessing about how to get couples to pay more for event services. Predictive behaviour profiling, value building, communication theory, choice architecture, persuasion tactics. You name it, he’s learned about it – and used it to market and sell over $10,000,000 directly to clients in the wedding industry.

    In 2016, Sam started Ideaction Consulting to help wedding pros reach their goals. He and his wife, Katy Taylor Jacobson, offer business and sales coaching, website copywriting and design, a mastermind, and immersive strategy retreats for event companies just like yours.
