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 on how couples book, as Chris shares some great nuggets of wisdom on how he’s survived a couple of triple headers this month with travel in between.
 
 We both also reflect on our years in this industry and how we feel our styles have evolved; not just over the past decade, but even in the past 12 months.

As always, be sure to like, share & comment wherever you listen and we’d love to hear from you, our amazing listeners too.

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 to see why you wouldn’t want to take that same camera way on a family holiday. This is where the ‘non work’ camera comes into play and why something small, light, but still good quality is vital for capturing holiday memories.
 
 You’ll have to listen to find out which camera Chris has bought 3 times and also what the perfect 4-Camera Strategy is for the ultimate holiday combo.
 
 It’s a great episode on a few levels; if you’re gear orientated it has enough tech-geekiness to satisfy that itch as well as being genuinely informative in the quest for the ultimate non-work camera purchase.

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 a full-time wedding photographer and solo business owner, Katie has graciously (and very honestly!) come on the podcast and shared her story of managing the whole experience from finding out she was pregnant to returning to work after maternity leave.
 
 We dive into how she broached the news with her clients, getting second shooters in to help and the absolute minefield that is planning for maternity leave with HMRC. 
 Katie leaves no stone unturned when it comes to KIT days, balancing motherhood and how being a parent has changed her whole perspective at weddings.
 
 We can’t thank Katie enough for coming on the pod and sharing her knowledge about this with all of us. Whether you’re planning for a family of your own, or just need to be educated about working alongside pregnant photographers, there’s something in this episode for everyone.

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.

We also dive into debates on fashion and whether it’s acceptable to wear shorts to a wedding on those super warm sunny days. Are you brave enough to bare your legs at summer weddings, or do you stick to trousers and accept being hot?

As always, we love to hear your opinions on these matters and our DM’s are always open. Don’t forget to like, subscribe and comment wherever you listen or watch along.

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 can actually be a good thing; this episode was bags of fun to record and we also didn’t get to everything we thought of, which leaves it open for a part two in future!
 
We’d love to know your unpopular opinions as wedding creatives too, so feel free to DM us with yours, or leave them in the comments below

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 Loyal Studios and has cemented herself as the ‘go-to’ when it comes to making bespoke websites for wedding creatives. Sophie was beyond generous with her knowledge in this episode, so it’s definitely not one to be missed! 

We cover the importance of having a website as well as social media, how valuable good copy is to compliment design, good design VS good SEO practice and Sophie also shares her hacks on image sizing and video hosting on your website.

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 (spoiler: probably not, but we regret nothing!).

Next up: Enquiry talk. We get into a fascinating chat about an experiment Chris is running with dynamic pricing — what’s working, what’s not, and the age old debate of having prices on your site vs price upon enquiry.
 Finally, we finish things up with some chat around websites as Chris has recently moved away from Showit and rebuilt on Squarespace.

It's a laid-back, honest episode packed with all the topics on the tongues of the wedding photo/video industry in May 2025.

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 most important (and most misunderstood) parts of the job — the client experience.
 From handling inquiries to building trust, Adam shares his unique approach to making couples feel looked after from day one (including that secret toilet trick... trust us, it’s genius).

We also get real about the state of the industry right now — why some of us are seeing fewer enquiries this year, and how to adapt when things get quiet. To round things off, Adam shares a completely new perspective — what it’s like to plan his own wedding, and how being on the other side has reshaped how he thinks about his own service.

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 grading feature for videographers, Chris has discovered the world of TikTok and we’ve both been doing some travelling for conferences, retreats and education.
That leads us nicely onto the subject of ‘That Wedding Videographer Summit’ that we both flew up to Glasgow for and really enjoyed the experience.

We chat over all the knowledge we got from the speakers, industry pros and most of all, getting to meet so many of you, our loyal listeners in the bar afterwards.

Now that we’re all caught up, be sure to to tune in next Thursday for a special Part two to this episode, dedicated entirely to all of those wonderful messages you left. 
 
 Thanks again for all the love and see you in the next 50 episodes!
