The Becky Sessions

This week we're chatting about mum guilt, leaving the kids for weddings (and occasionally leaving them for something that isn't technically work), and why sometimes you really do just need to get away for a couple of nights. We talk about recent weddings we've had the pleasure of filming. Plus filming weddings while ill, trying not to be a d*&k about tripods, bouquets ruining first kisses, how...

Two weeks, several weddings and plenty to catch up on… This week we’re deep in wedding season, chatting about the reality of filming in tricky spaces, working alongside photographers, second shooters, ceremony setups and the mild panic of trying to get everything ready before the bride walks down the aisle. We catch up on recent weddings, including a three-day celebration in Jersey and a London we...

We’re back!  After an accidental little podcast hiatus, the Beckys reconvene to discuss everything from filming weddings and staying in Premier Inns alone, to singing on the dance floor, questionable biscuit opinions and the fact that apparently we are now too old to understand Gen Z. There’s a bit of wedding talk, a bit of business, a bit of motherhood, a lot of catching up, and one very importan...

This week we're talking about Becky's first time filming an entire wedding on Super 8 film. We discuss the mindset shift from filming everything to carefully choosing every single shot, what she'd do differently next time, and why it reminded her to be more intentional behind the camera. Elsewhere, we cover Meta ads, referrals, broken glasses at weddings, staying late for the dance floor, school h...

This week we're recording in the middle of a UK heatwave and trying not to melt! We chat about filming weddings in soaring temperatures, parenting through sleepless nights, networking as female creatives, and why taking time to connect with other suppliers can make you a better business owner. We also dive into wedding-day mishaps, the future of sharing weddings online, and why sometimes you don't...

The Beckys return after an unannounced break!  We catch up about well-earned holidays, edit breaks, website fails and we are interrupted by Häagen (the newest member of The Becky Sessions) about 152 times.  It's the usual unhinged chaos with an added side of puppy mayhem.  Well done... we mean...Thank you for listening!    Find us on instagram @thebeckysessions The Becky Sessions are @thompsonwedd...

We’ve officially hit one year of The Becky Sessions 🎉 (recorded, of course, the night before it needed to go out… classic). This episode is a proper catch-up — from finishing final edits and heading into wedding season, to the reality of juggling filming, editing, and life in between. We chat about burnout, whether to actually take a break (or just keep going), and how editing always seems to slo...

This week, we’re joined by our first ever male guest, Adam Wing, and we cover a bit of everything. From what it’s really like experiencing your own wedding as a supplier, to how that changes the way you film, edit, and communicate with couples. We dive into the reality of running a wedding business alongside family life, navigating school runs, late-night edits, weekend guilt, and the never-ending...

This week, we’re getting real about the juggle. From overflowing edit schedules and family life to the pressure of “doing it all,” we’re chatting honestly about why we’ve made the decision to go bi-weekly—and why that’s actually a good thing. We dive into the behind-the-scenes of wedding videography life right now: overdue edits, AI scheduling hacks (hello Claude 👀), and the constant battle betwe...

In this episode, the Beckys catch up after Becky K smashes her talk at the 'That Wedding Videographer Summit.' We’re chatting all about the wedding summit experience — from pre-talk nerves, caffeine overload and audience tears. We get into what it really feels like to put yourself out there creatively, the power of community in the wedding industry, and why “relatable” content matters more than ev...

This week, we’re talking about that back-to-wedding-season feeling - excitement, nerves, and the panic of “where is everything?!” after time away. One of us heads back to a full-on 150 person wedding (with a drone that almost didn’t cooperate), while also navigating the emotional rollercoaster of leaving a baby for the longest time yet. We chat about: – The reality of returning to weddings after t...

In this episode, the Beckys are back behind the mic chatting to the backing track of barking, baby crying and hailstorms.  Becky T shares what it was like returning to work for an International Women’s Day event (spoiler: it involved zero prep time, dry shampoo, and a LOT of winging it), while Becky K talks filming a dance show in a 120-year-old theatre. They also dive into: The pressure of editin...

This week on The Becky Sessions, we’re joined by the brilliant Katherine from KAS Films, recent winner of Breakthrough Filmmaker of the Year at the British Wedding Film Festival. Katherine shares her journey from working in television to accidentally falling into wedding filmmaking after filming a friend’s wedding… and how that one decision led to a thriving business. We chat about finding your st...

We’re back… slightly sleep-deprived, mildly overwhelmed, and standing on the brink of wedding season. In this episode, we catch up on life lately. Including Becky K’s new golden retriever puppy (Häagen Bargains), Becky T’s six-month-old officially on the move and what it’s really like trying to run a creative business whilst raising tiny humans (and land-sharks disguised as puppies). We chat about...

In this mid-season bonus episode of The Becky Sessions Podcast, Becky K headed to the inaugural British Wedding Film Festival to soak up the atmosphere and capture the voices of the industry as it happened. Becky was let loose with a mic and hit the floor to record some vox pops from attendees, winners and the organisers themselves.  Whether you were there on the night or cheering from afar, this...

It’s our last episode before Christmas and things are feeling very festive. In this end-of-year catch-up, we’re recording from unusual locations, wearing questionable festive headwear, and reflecting on what has been a huge first year of The Becky Sessions. We chat about nativity plays, school schedules, Christmas overwhelm, and the mental load of juggling editing, motherhood and work in December....

In this episode of The Becky Sessions, the two Beckys sit down with none other than Australian wedding-filmmaking icon Grace Cardona. From fangirl moments at Coda to navigating burnout, brand identity, and a decade of editing weddings,  We dive into her start in the industry, how she built the legendary Bottlebrush Films brand, why raw footage can be a secret superpower and how she now balances do...

We're back after Becky K's birthday celebrations and TWIA results and Becky T running on fumes after an eventful night with the baby. We chat about:  • Handling client cancellations  • Networking — are wedding industry awards becoming more community-focused or competitive? • The magic of experimenting creatively, from mic’ing couples all day to trying Ray-Ban smart glasses on the dance floor • Why...

In this cosy catch-up, the Beckys dive into the sudden UK cold snap (with zero meteorological accuracy), spontaneous London trips with kids, social media strategies and upcoming birthday celebrations. Becky shares her whirlwind weekend away, complete with Transport Museum adventures and Hamleys-induced financial regret. They talk about planning time off, the eternal battle with editing backlogs, a...

This week, both Beckys are emerging from a fog of sick kids, delayed edits and general life chaos. We chat about the bizarre excitement of cleaning carpets, the panic of Christmas approaching too fast, and whether AI is coming for the wedding industry (spoiler: we spiral a bit). We also talk enquiries — the droughts, the flurries, and the weird way they seem to arrive in clusters — plus the pressu...

In this chatty, chaos-filled catch-up, both Beckys are back — a little sleep-deprived, a little behind on edits, and knee-deep in family germs. Between tales of norovirus survival, clearing up sick and nostalgic carpet mishaps, the conversation somehow swings back to business: editing workflows, using second shooters, and how to manage when life throws curveballs mid-backlog. They dive into creati...

This week, the Becky's are fresh off the back of CODA — still buzzing, slightly emotional, and maybe just a little bit tired. They dive into everything from the inspiring talks and standout moments to the chaos of juggling babies, burnout, and big feelings. Thank you for listening!
