It’s fair to say that most wedding creatives work for themselves - so what better topic for a December episode than a good chat over the myths, wins & realities of running your own business in the wedding industry? The Christmas tree is up, but the gloves are off when it comes to sharing the honest truths of self employment. Whilst we’re definitely not qualified experts in business (or accountants for financial advice!) we both have a decade of running wedding business’...

As we enter the last month of 2025, we’re all beginning to look ahead into the new year and what it might have in store for us as wedding creatives. In this episode Tom & Chris muse over their thoughts & predictions for what they think the biggest trends of 2026 will be. The big takeaways include: - The continued growth of AI and content creation at weddings. - Will 2026 see the death of the editorial style all together? - Does BTS content for social media just feel old ...

After a longer break than planned, we’re back behind the mics and we hope you didn’t miss us too much! The extended gap wasn’t without good reason, so this episode will bring you right up to speed with everything that’s happened with us over the past few weeks. From new arrivals (as Chris is now officially a DAD!!) to holidays in Disney, missing out on conferences and a destination wedding with Adam Wing. This episode is a wild ride through everything that October threw at us and how we...

With the summer rush firmly in the rear view, it’s probably safe to say that your editing pile is looking pretty high…right? Those delivery deadlines are looming and you’re struggling to find time in your business (and life in general!) to do anything other than edit & deliver weddings to eagerly waiting couples who are home from honeymoon and want to see the fruits of your labour. If this sounds familiar right now, then this episode is the PSA you need to STOP EDITING an...

Following on from our recent episode around the issues of every supplier wanting to get BTS right now; we decided it was the right time to share our thoughts, views and experiences of working with content creators, whose soul purpose at a wedding is to capture ‘Content’ for the couple that’s hired them. The rise of content creators across weddings in 2025 has been pretty dramatic and the genre is already starting to find niches of its own with some offering drone, Super 8 and au...

It’s guest episode time on the Wedding Capture Co this week - Tom & Chris are joined by the wonderful James from Chumley Films. Based in the thriving North East of England, James only made the jump from graphic design to wedding videography in 2022 and is already fully booked for 2026 with 50+ weddings. Growth like that doesn’t come by accident; so in this conversation we get James to share some of the secrets behind his success: From using your br...

If you’re a wedding supplier in 2025, making sure you’ve got some good BTS ‘for the gram’ is definitely something that’s probably crossed your mind at the end of a long wedding day. . In this episode we throw the door wide open on the whole topic of BTS and the problems it can create, when every supplier at the wedding is bustling to make their own content for social media. We talk first hand about the things we’ve seen and issues we’ve faced when it comes to content; oth...

Chris & Tom are back behind the mics with a wealth of stories from their busy summer season, but you’ll have to listen until the end to hear how Chris ended up barefoot, wading through water to save his car from a freak flood during a wedding day. This one is a classic WCC catchup episode as the boys reflect on the weddings they’ve been part of and the lessons they’ve learnt from these days. Tom has worked with surprisingly few videographers this year, which leads to a great chat ...

It’s peak season and you’re definitely feeling ready for a break? Well this episode couldn’t have come at a better time and we know it’s one that a few of you have been eagerly waiting for... Holiday Cameras! That’s right, we’ve dedicated a whole episode to our journeys of buying cameras that weren’t strictly ‘work’ purchases and purely intended for those mindful walks and holiday trips away. When you use an expensive camera most weeks of your life, it’s easy...

This week on Wedding Capture Co, Tom & Chris are back with another guest episode, a really insightful topic and an exciting announcement from Chris… You’ll have to listen to the episode itself to hear that announcement, but let’s just say that Chris’ news feeds perfectly into this week’s topic. The incredible Katie from Clearly Wild Photography is an amazing photographer, friend of the podcast and in October of 2024 became the mother to a beautiful little baby girl. As...

We might be halfway through 2025, but our wedding seasons feel like they’ve just begun. Join Chris & Tom in this catch up episode as they talk about 2026 enquiries, wearing shorts and how they’re feeling as they enter the busier months of the year. If you listened to our last catch-up episode, you’ll know that Chris has been conducting an experiment with enquiries and he shares all the results surrounding that and whether he’ll be sticking to prices off the website going forward. ...

This week’e episode of the WCC might divide the crowd, but Chris & Tom go all-in on sharing their unpopular opinions as wedding creatives… There are definitely a few tongue-in-cheek moments in this one, but hopefully amongst the revelations, they’ll be something that leaves you screaming in agreement and others that’ll make you feel totally seen as a wedding photographer or videographer. From drones being pointless, group shots being fun and why buying loads of kit ca...

In this week’s episode, Chris and Tom are joined by the wonderful Sophie from Loyal Studio to talk all things websites. Within web design, Sophie works almost exclusively with wedding suppliers which makes her the perfect guest to have on and share her knowledge on how to level up your website and talk us through the process of rebranding and building a website from the ground up. From her beginnings in the industry as Sophie Amelia designs, she’s recently rebranded herself to L...

Chris and Tom are back behind the mics for a classic WCC catch-up — this week we’re chatting all things new cameras, pricing strategy experiments, and Chris’ surprisingly smooth switch to a new website platform: We kick off with a geeky but glorious dive into our new camera purchases; Chris with his Fuji X100IV and Tom's with a new medium format film camera. We talk about our reasons behind the spend, how they’ll get used and whether either of us actually needed another camera (spoil...

This week on Wedding Capture Co, we're joined by none other than Adam Wing — videographer, educator and recent speaker at this year’s TWVP Summit in Glasgow. Join is for an honest, inspiring and occasionally hilarious chat about life behind (and in front of) the lens. We kick things off with Adam’s story: how he got started in wedding videography, grew his brand, and built an online course that’s now helped countless creatives level up their filmmaking game. We then dive into one of the mos...

After a brief break, we’re finally back with our 50TH EPISODE (which still feels bonkers to say) and there was so much to pack in that we’ve had to spread it across two parts! Thanks to everyone who sent us messages, voice notes and well wishes; we’re so grateful to have you all and can’t wait to answer those questions and address them all in part two. In those weeks between recording though, loads has happened and we have so much to fill you in on: Imagen have dropped a new colour ...

I mean, it’s a valid question isn’t it? As we sit here in 2025 there’s never been a time with better camera tech, advanced software and AI tools to help us than there are now. But, with all of these helpful tools at our disposal, have they made it almost too easy to be a ‘lazy creative’ or not even have to be creative at all? In this episode Tom & Chris go back and forth over this interesting subject and offer our opinions on the matter: Are you more creative when you’re faced wi...

WCC x TWVP Crossover Episode: This week we’re back with a super cool crossover/collab episode with the boys from ‘That Wedding Videographer Podcast’. Danny & Jase are Scottish-based wedding videographers and co-hosts of the TWVP podcast. Starting in April 2024, they’ve already amassed a loyal following across the UK and are now only a few weeks away from their ever first Summit; an in-person education event taking place in Glasgow on April 1st with a stellar lineup of videography & i...

This week we’re back in our usual surroundings and having a good catch up over the events of the past few weeks… Chris took home Highly Commended at the National TWIA awards in the videography category, whilst Tom was on the other side of the pond on holiday. We also talk about some how AI (and ChatGPT specifically) has been a game changer for helping Chris build some big timesaving hacks into his workflows; so if you’re still playing catch up on 2024 edits, you’ll definitely want to hear abo...
