Wedding Capture Co

Now that we’re back from our USA holiday, we have a little catch-up on our recent adventure, what we got up too and also some business learnings that came from our time on the cruise.

We also throw in a teeny bit of holiday camera chat as would it even be the Capture Co, if Chris didn’t buy yet another camera to go on holiday with??

We’re also entering the closing months of the year and our sights are firmly on the booking situation for 2025; because of this we reflect on the shifting state of our industry when it comes to enquires, bookings and the immediacy that’s become expected from us in replying. Is this the new norm or just a race to the bottom?

Lastly Chris’ gives us his opinions on last month’s awesome Coda conference; (the very first event if it’s kind solely for videographers in the UK) all the knowledge bombs he got from the speakers, the astounding feedback he got from you guys about the pod and also the warm glow of being surrounded by so many like-minded individuals, wanting that community feeling.

Thanks so much to everyone who said hi at Coda and huge respect to Ron Films for putting on such an amazing event!

Ever had that fear that you’ve left the house without any SD cards in your cameras?

Do you leave it until the morning of a wedding to check the route or fill the car with petrol??

We all have our own quirky methods and levels of preparation when it comes to doing our jobs; so we thought it’d be a fun episode to chat over the things we do in the weeks,

days (and in some cases!) hours before we leave the house to go and shoot a wedding.

In this episode we discuss our pre-wedding questionnaires, packing kit, charging batteries and even the best time to buy your wedding day snacks!

It’s a real fun one and a great insight, not only into how we run our business’ but also our slightly OCD traits when it comes to being organised.

We’d love to hear your pre-wedding rituals too, so feel free to comment with yours, or even DM us over on Instagram: @weddingcaptureco

We have the final tickets for our Branding & Marketing workshop in November still available, so check here for all the info on that: ⁠https://spiceweddingfilms.com/podcast⁠

If you’re anything like both of us, you’ve now captured most of your weddings for the year and are faced with the looming shadow of a mammoth editing pile!

We have a couple of spaces left on our Branding & Marketing Workshop in November, so if you’re wanting to level up your website and marketing over the winter, then this is the perfect day for you! All the info and ticket link can be found here: ⁠https://spiceweddingfilms.com/podcast⁠  

Sat here at the end of the summer, tired from a busy season and drowning in edits, it might not feel like you have the best job in the world right now, 

but could this moment in time truly be the best time to be a wedding videographer??

• Cameras capable of making great video content are more affordable than ever, so is the point of entry for video is the lowest it’s ever been?

Tickets to our workshop are limited and available now at: https://spiceweddingfilms.com/podcast

If you’re anything like us, you’re pretty much hitting the peak of your season and this episode is the result of an epic catch up after a busy month of shooting weddings.

Do you really need a Second Shooter at weddings?



We drop some pretty exciting news that WE’RE HOSTING ANOTHER WORKSHOP!!


That’s right, we’re back with another guest episode, in the form of TWIA founder & wedding photographer Damian Bailey.

Well…this episode ended up taking quite an unexpected turn!!

-Is there a right or wrong when it comes to capturing moments naturally or re-creating moments just for the camera?

-Are we as creatives being totally honest about how we capture these moments to our couples in the lead up to the wedding?
