Wedding Capture Co

Believe it or not, we’re pretty much halfway through the year, so this episode is a mixture of catching up with recent weddings and reflecting on how we’re feeling 6 months into 2026.     Things are looking pretty symmetrical for Tom with half of his weddings already shot and pretty much the same left to go.   Chris is a different story altogether with only a handful of dates under his belt so far...

There’s no denying the enquiries are harder to come by and ghosting is more prevalent than ever, but have you ever considered that we might actually be the problem here??   Put yourself in a couples shoes; they sit down to plan a wedding and contact vendors - they’re met with huge enquiry forms to even get pricing, insistence on video calls before they book and that’s after they’ve navigated throu...

It’s another guest episode, and this time Tom & Chris are joined by Steve; a wedding videographer under ‘Blue Ridge Films’ and also the creator of the super-handy Mic-Mags and the brand new Prelude app for wedding suppliers.   In this episode we dive into how the ideas for Mic-mags came about, what they are and how a simple coloured magnet has become an absolute game-changer for videographers...

It’s a bold question and not something that we’d probably want to admit to ourselves, which is why it’s a conversation worth having.  When you’re photographing something like a wedding, that’s a fairly repeatable structure, it’s easy to shy away from being creative and relying on  consistent ‘easy wins’ that might keep our couples happy, but leave us feeling creatively empty and tired of the same...

The boys are back (and in a new room!) for another episode of the pod and this one has an interesting little twist… Tom & Chris prepared questions for each other, but without the other seeing them beforehand.so, the answers you hear are all 100% genuine reaction and opinions with no preparation or thought to the answers allowed.  The questions asked cover a range of industry topics such as: -...

This week we’re welcoming our first guest of 2026, the wonderful Adam Lowndes.    Most of you will know Adam from his prolific BTS content that he posts on TikTok that and amassed him an impressive following.  Adam’s friendly and open-book approach has also helped him build a wonderful online community amongst photographers, which made him the perfect choice for someone we’d love to have a convers...

It’s been a minute since we sat down to record and we’ve both had a busy few weeks - albeit in very different ways.   Tom has been away on a real adventure of a holiday and Chris has been working on his edit pile and constructing his own bespoke CRM.   In this episode we both talk about the takeaways from our endeavours as well as coming together on a really lovely chat about analogue living; some...

Are you scrolling through Instagram right now and feel that everything just looks the same??  It feels like wedding suppliers are all jumping on the latest trends, buying the latest presets and copying the last big reel that went viral.    We know it’s a wild ride in the wedding world right now, but what if you stopped chasing what works everyone else and shared what speaks to you ?  We’re called...

In an ideal world, wedding suppliers will all get along, make friends and be able to work in harmony, even if you only met for the first time on the day. Sadly that isn’t always the case and we’ve probably all got a story where we’ve worked with someone who just doesn’t want to play nice. As a podcast that’s hosted by both photo & video co-hosts, we think we’re in a pretty good positions to ha...

Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably seen how commonplace the use of AI is online and in everyday life now.  So, if you’re a wedding creative and fearing that you’re going to get left behind by the robots, then this episode is for you. The last time we did a deep dive on AI was back in Episode 17 and in the 18 months since we recorded that, the changes and new features that have emer...

Happy New Year! (If it’s not too late to say that still!?)   We’re back for our first episode of 2026 and we kick things off with a quick catchup about how we spent the festive period and Chris’ wedding on New Years Eve. It wouldn’t be an episode of the WCC without some form of topic and this week we have a good one…    Are you productive or are you a procrastinator??     With edits from last year...

Our final episode of 2025, but due to a late release it’s now also the first episode of 2026!   Back at the beginning of December, Tom & Chris sat down to record what has become an annual tradition of the Wedding Capture Co; our big end of year episode where we give ourselves (and each other) our annual appraisal of how we’ve found the past 12 months. We take stock of our highs & lows of t...

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 acc...

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...

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 A...

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...

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...

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 sh...

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...

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.  ...

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. ...

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 po...

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 result...

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.  ...

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 begin...
