• His approach to weddings and the style he’s honed
• Some great gems on attracting couples who are the right fit
• How photo and video can work together seamlessly on a wedding day
• And most importantly… Olly Knight has written a brand-new song for this episode. Some might say it’s his best one yet 😂
It’s packed with genuinely helpful tips and advice.

We've got a bonus podcast for you this week! Fresh from the The Wedding Industry Awards for the South East last week Becci Wiles joins Olly Knight to chat about why they applied, how they found the experience of being at an awards night and also what it felt like when their names were called out by Damian (including a very awkward hug between Olly and Becci!)

It’s October! The cameras are heavy, the edit queues are long and the coffee’s running dangerously low. In this episode, James, Olly, and Ollie sit down for an honest and heartfelt chat about wedding fatigue — what it looks like, how it sneaks up on us and how we can find ways to deal with burnout.
From the emotional and creative toll of back-to-back weddings, to the struggle of staying inspired when you’re running on empty. The boys share personal stories, symptoms they’ve noticed and the small habits that help them recharge and reconnect with the joy of what they do.

✈️ This week on FramED we’re flying to the land of destination weddings!
We’re chatting about:
How we landed our very first destination weddings 🌍
The horror stories nobody tells you 😅
Whether they’re really worth the hype (and the hassle)
And ultimately…why we absolutely love them ❤️
If you’ve ever dreamed of shooting abroad—or you’re curious about the reality behind the Instagram highlights then this one’s for you.
James, Olly and Ollie return from a packed summer wedding season to share some of their favourite highlights. From dreamy Italian weddings to sunny days on Frinton beach, we look back at the moments that stood out and talk about how next year is shaping up.
We’ll also share our plans for courses and mentoring as we head into 2026! Come hang out 🫶🏻
The FramED podcast is back after an August break! Have you missed us!? You have? Thanks.
Today is a very special episode as Olly Knight interviews his first born child (Caleb Knight) about his experience of shooting his first full wedding this Summer in Italy as a 12 year old!?
We chat about how he got into photography (VTech cameras and seals), how he was given the opportunity to second shoot and what went well and what went wrong at the wedding! Caleb even cusses automatic modes on cameras (he can be quite opinionated- we don't know who he takes after...)
We hope there's some inspiration for young people getting into photography and also some help for Photographer parents wanting to get their kids into the world of snapping! Enjoy!
Agree to disagree?
Ollie was ill. James had a holiday. Olly was in Italy for a wedding and in this podcast we discuss our opinions on how we shoot. Team landscape vs team portrait.
Olly makes the case for keeping everything landscape, while James and Ollie share how they’ve grown to embrace portrait orientation in their wedding work.
Which side are you on?
Ollie & Olly in the studio today – James is off sick (a little ironic, as we’re talking all about being ill at weddings!)
Ollie shares his horrific story of getting sick while flying ✈️ to a wedding in Scotland and Olly recalls a sudden sickness episode mid-wedding with James. You don’t want to miss these ones 🤢
On a brighter note – tickets for our Framed Christmas Party are now LIVE! 🎄🥳
They’re just £10 and available via the FramED website.
If you're a wedding photographer or videographer, you're invited! Come hang out, celebrate the end of the season and enjoy some proper community together ❤️
