THE HYBRID PLAYBOOK
Learn hybrid wedding photography — online, at your own pace.
70 lessons. £380. Start tonight. No travel. No fluff. Just a clear, proven system for adding video to your wedding coverage — without sacrificing a single photo.
Join 64+ photographers already shooting hybrid after watching this course.
Built for working photographers
A practical course for photographers who already know their camera.
You want to add hybrid coverage in a way that feels natural, repeatable, and profitable — without turning a wedding into a film set or buying a suitcase of new gear.
The Hybrid Playbook shows you exactly how to shoot photo + video solo, stay calm on the day, and deliver films your couples actually replay. This is a step-by-step system, not a highlights reel of someone else’s best day.
You can start implementing this during the season. Not “one day… maybe.” Tonight.

Meet your instructor
Lewis Fackrell
You might already know Lewis from his photography, his podcast appearances, or that NineDots Motion talk in 2025. He’s been shooting hybrid — solo, photo and film, same day — at real weddings, under real pressure, for 8 years. Not at just two weddings a year.
This course isn’t theory he put together for content. It’s the exact system he relies on when he walks into a venue with one camera bag and no videographer. The same workflow, the same settings, the same coverage plans he uses at venues across the UK.
He built The Hybrid Playbook because he got tired of answering the same, “how do you do it?”. Now it’s all in one place, for you.
Is this for you?
This is for wedding photographers who:
• Are confident shooting weddings already
• Want to add hybrid without sacrificing photo quality
• Want an additional revenue stream without adding more wedding dates
• Need a workflow that fits real life (kids, time, energy, sanity)
• If you’re already shooting weddings — you’ll be right at home.
This is not for you if:
• You’re looking for a cinema-grade filmmaking course
• You want to become a full-time videographer
• You’re not currently shooting weddings
• You want someone to hold your hand through every edit
The Playbook is built for independent, confident photographers who want a proven system they can implement themselves.

Common questions
FAQ
If you’re shooting weddings on a mirrorless or DSLR that records video (most modern cameras do), yes. The course isn’t about gear — it’s about approach, workflow, and confidence. Lewis covers simple setups through to more advanced options.
Forever. Once you buy, the course is yours. You can revisit any lesson at any time, and new content is added regularly at no extra cost.

No — that’s the whole point. The system is designed photo-first. Video is layered in during natural pauses and transitions. Your photography doesn’t suffer. Couples consistently say they forgot Lewis was even filming.
