Wedding Capture Co

These days you can get pretty much anything you want, delivered within the hour or the next day, for very little cost and it’s just become the norm. 
 
 In recent years that’s crept into weddings; next-day previews and teasers have gone from being something to separate you from the crowd, to being almost expected.
 
 More recently, it might’ve even become a race to beat a content creators in delivering something first.
 
 In some cases, I’ve even heard of some individuals delivering photo or video, before they’ve even left the wedding or whilst the day is still unfolding.
 
 In an industry that’s based around legacy and making something that truly lasts, it’s become about doing exactly that, but at a very rapid turnaround. 
 
This conversation won’t be for everyone; it’s also not saying that anyone is right or wrong for doing previews or teasers in the way they currently do. 
It’s more an honest conversation to say that there is an alternative. What if you abandoned the idea of immediacy and chose suspense and genuine excitement instead?
 
Hopefully you’ll finish the episode with more questions than answers about the way (and how quickly) you currently deliver photo/video from a wedding, as it certainly left us that way making it.

We’re back! It’s been nearly 2 months after we sat down to record the last 2 episodes, but we’re both very glad to be back behind the mics.
 This episode is a big summer catch up’ bringing you right up to speed with what we’ve been doing and why we haven’t had time to make new episodes for you all.
 
 We talk about our holiday in Tenerife and why taking time out over summer is important. Tom shares some of the knowledge and realisations he had after attending a very special retreat in Surrey with legendary wedding photographer John Dolan and Chris fills up in on his recent destination job back at Villa Ciprissi in Lake Como.
 
 We also reflect on the realities and struggles of shooting weddings in record temperatures for the UK and the effects that’s had on the weddings as well as what we’ve made.
 
 It’s all the usual fun you’ll expect from a WCC episode and bring you right up to speed with everything that’s happened over the summer.
 If you have any great stories or wisdom to share for your hot summer weddings, be sure to let us know as we always love hearing from you!

This week’s episode is a follow-on from episode 74; Tom & Chris both wrote some questions for each other in private (so answers couldn’t be thought about or pre-prepared) and pitched them to each other live on the episode. We enjoyed the honesty and variety of that episode so much, that we knew we had to give it some more air-time and share the questions that got missed in that first episode.

This time around we dive into topic such as:- How often do you watch your own wedding film?
- Would you prefer to always work with a videographer or never work with one again?
- What’s your greatest fear in this industry?
- Do couples care about kit & specs, or do just want great photo/video?

It’s a great chat with lots of interesting takes on a variety of topics, making it the perfect thing to listen too whilst editing or driving to your next job.We’d love to know your answers to some of these questions too, so make sure to drop them in the comments or slide into our DM’s.

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 and a much bigger number left to come.
 
 From there it rolls into the usual stories about why that is, how we’re feeling and some comments on the state of the Instagram algorithm lately. 
 Be sure to listen to the end as Chris presents an interesting take on sunset portraits from a recent wedding and Tom shares the story behind his first blank roll of film.
 
 As always, we’d love to know how your 2026 is going so far and welcome all of the comments, DM’s and messages about that.

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 through the sheer volume of suppliers that exist.
 
In this episode (after a brief catch up on life lately) we share our opinions on the ghosting epidemic and arrive at the conclusion that maybe the way to stop the ghosting and boost the bookings is simple: Make it as easy & concise as possible for couples to book as you can.
 
It’s a bold statement and something we’re both still toying with in our own business’ but if you’ve been listening to us for a while, you’ll know that we’re not ones to spend time moaning about the current state of the industry, without trying to do something about it. 
 
If you’ve found yourself getting down about lack of enquiries or your inbox becoming a house of ghosts, give it a listen and maybe give it a try.
 
As always, we love to hear all your feedback and encourage all of the following, comments etc.
