Wedding Capture Co

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...

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 th...

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, load...

I mean, it’s a valid question isn’t it? As we sit here in 2025 there’s never been a time with better camera tech, advanced software and AI tools to help us than there are now. But, with all of these helpful tools at our disposal, have they made it almost too easy to be a ‘lazy creative’ or not even have to be creative at all? In this episode Tom & Chris go back and forth over this interesting...

WCC x TWVP Crossover Episode: This week we’re back with a super cool crossover/collab episode with the boys from ‘That Wedding Videographer Podcast’.

This week we’re back in our usual surroundings and having a good catch up over the events of the past few weeks… Chris took home Highly Commended at the National TWIA awards in the videography category, whilst Tom was on the other side of the pond on holiday. We also talk about some how AI (and ChatGPT specifically) has been a game changer for helping Chris build some big timesaving hacks into his...

We’re back with another great episode, joined by our very first guest of 2025: the incredible Hannah MacGregor! Hannah is the absolute queen when it comes to hybrid shooting and also offers workshops of her own on this topic. After starting her business as solely a photographer, around 2017 she made the brave leap to learn videography and now offers a hybrid package; delivering both a full gallery...

It’s our first recording session of 2025, so we’ve decided to tackle the question that seems to be on every wedding supplier’s lips right now… Are you finding enquiries slower than usual?? It’s a valid topic and at a time of year where you’d usually have more work coming in than ever, why are so many of us seeing tumbleweeds rolling through our inboxes? And I guess the bigger question is: what we...

Even though it’s only the 2nd day of the New Year, we didn’t want to leave you waiting for our first episode of 2025, so here it is!! We think this is the perfect topic for a January episode and also an updated version of our very first episode that we dropped back in March 2023, so hopefully you’ll hear the improvement. In today’s episode, we’re talking about all those things we do to prepare our...

This episode is an amalgamation of all the...

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...

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 leav...

Well…this episode ended up taking quite an unexpected turn!! When we sat down to record, we planned on making a fairly light-hearted chat about how we’re holding up in the height of busy season and the things that we’re dealing with. What actually happened is we got to the topic of ‘reading the room’ and that ended up moulding the shape of the entire episode! This topic is on the lips of a lot of...

Episode 031: Churches, Websites & Getting Locked Out! As we enter the midst of the season, a few things have happened to us both at weddings recently that sparked the topics of discussion in this episode… We’ve both literally just had church ceremonies to capture and share our opinions on the recent debate around vicars and the restrictions they can impose. Are they really as bad as the media...

In this week’s episode we rip open the can of worms that is ’having a style’ and what that even means anyway!? The word ‘style’ can encompass so many things in terms of approach/branding/ethos etc and we touch on all these points and more as we dive into this vast topic. - Do you need to have a style when you first set up?- How do you define your style and should you stick to it forever? - Can you...
