We’re joined by Russell Kent Nichols to dive into his brand new CRM platform built specifically for wedding suppliers: Wedola.

Russell shares the story behind Wedola, why he felt the wedding industry needed its own dedicated CRM, and how simplifying systems can dramatically improve both your workflow and your client experience.

We break down:

• What a CRM actually is (and why you might need one)
• How Wedola is designed by a wedding supplier, for wedding suppliers
• The power of automation without losing the personal touch
• Creating a seamless, branded client experience from enquiry to delivery
• Features like client portals, automated emails, invoices, and analytics
• How better systems can increase your average booking value
• Why simplicity beats overcomplicated tools
• The balance between AI and human connection in the wedding industry

Russell also shares insights into building a product alongside running a wedding business, the realities of “passive income,” and how community feedback is shaping Wedola’s future.

If you’re still managing enquiries, invoices, and client communication manually, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.

In this episode of Think Wedding Business, we’re joined by Laura & Pete Lawson of Lawson Films to talk about launching the British Wedding Film Festival; a brand new awards platform designed to celebrate wedding filmmaking differently.

After years of entering (and winning) traditional awards, the Lawsons, along with Jeff Wood and Joce of Lune de Miel Studio, saw a gap.

So they created an awards system inspired by the likes of the Oscars. Recognising different elements of a film, from storytelling to sound design, and giving more filmmakers a chance to be celebrated.

We dive into:

• Why they felt the industry needed something new
• The reality of awards, judging, and industry pressure
• Dealing with criticism when you put yourself out there
• The vision for turning the festival into a huge industry event
• And what this means for the future of wedding videography
