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 &amp; Chris muse over their thoughts &amp; 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 the editorial style all together?  - Does BTS content for social media just feel old &amp; dated now?  - Gen-Z couples want different weddings to millennials, do we need to adapt?  - Should we all start offering analogue? We’re certainly not experts or trendsetters, so don’t take this as gospel truth, but it’s certainly a fun episode that’ll give you some food for thought about next year.  Do you have any ideas for big trends that we filed to mention? As always we’d love to hear from you about this, so comment below or slide into our DM’s.    Follow us on Instagram at: <a href='http://www.instagram.com/weddingcapture.co'>www.instagram.com/weddingcapture.co</a>Listen on Spotify: <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/6nWbCdrEXp2BsQNbsPxDed?si=5d78ddafa1da4aff'>https://open.spotify.com/show/6nWbCdrEXp2BsQNbsPxDed?si=5d78ddafa1da4aff</a>Watch along on Youtube at: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@WeddingCaptureCoPodcast'>https://www.youtube.com/@WeddingCaptureCoPodcast</a> Keywords: 2026 wedding trends, wedding trends, content creation, AI, Editorial style, BTS, Gen-Z weddings, analogue photography, film, super 8.

Episode 64: It’s been a pretty crazy October! 

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 &amp; deliver weddings to eagerly waiting couples who are home from honeymoon and want to see the fruits of your labour. If this sounds familiar right now, then this episode is the PSA you need to STOP EDITING and start marketing! Don’t get us wrong, getting edits back to couples is still definitely important, but we want to give you a gentle reminder that booking season is rapidly on it’s way and if you haven’t got a weathered eye on your marketing right now, then you might be missing out on getting valuable weddings in the diary for next year.    In this episode we dive into some quick tips &amp; tricks that we use to help stay seen online by new couples whilst still smashing through edits at the same time.  This one is a great one to listen to whilst working and hopefully you’ll walk away with a cool list of actionables when it comes to marketing for 2026 and beyond.    However if you really are drowning in edits and can’t see a way out; we’ll always recommend our good pals over at Bride &amp; Groom Video  who can help lighten the load and give you stunning films to deliver to your couples, on time and in your signature style.    Use this link (<a href='https://bridengroom.video/wcc/'>https://bridengroom.video/wcc/</a>) to sign up today and with the code: WeddingCaptureCo75 you’ll get £75 off of your first edit!

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 is already starting to find niches of its own with some offering drone, Super 8 and audio of ceremony &amp; speeches alongside their phone photo &amp; video.    This episode definitely isn’t a ‘bash’ on content creators - if anything it’s more of a way for us to define our opinions on the genre, share our experiences and hopefully set the stage for an episode where we can have a CC come on and have a solid conversation around all of this.    It’s an interesting chat and really insightful to see how the perspectives of a photographer and videographer can feel quite on this.  Also stay tuned to find out which one of us says they would actually book a content creator themselves if they were planning their wedding now.    As always, we welcome all of your comments, feedback and opinions on this, so be sure to comment below!    Lastly, if we were to get a Content Creator on the WCC, let us know who you’d love us to chat too.    Follow us on Instagram at: <a href='http://www.instagram.com/weddingcapture.co'>www.instagram.com/weddingcapture.co</a>Watch along on Youtube at: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@WeddingCaptureCoPodcast'>https://www.youtube.com/@WeddingCaptureCoPodcast</a> Keywords: Content Creator, BTS, Wedding Content, Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography, Teasers, highlight films, reels, TikTok, Instagram.

062: Our Views on Content Creators

It’s guest episode time on the Wedding Capture Co this week - Tom &amp; 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 share some of the secrets behind his success:    From using your brand as the foundation of your business, to utilising Instagram to show personality.  James is more than generous with his knowledge and offers loads of useful info in how to give that personable approach, whilst still shooting a high volume of weddings each year.    Make sure you stay tuned to the end as James shares an Instagram hack for your DM’s that blew our minds and it’s something that’ll definitely change the game for you.    Huge thanks to James for coming on the pod, sharing his wisdom and being a generally friendly dude.    If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you do all the things (like, subscribe, review etc) and send us any recommendations you might have for future guests you’d like to hear from. ———————————————————————————————————Links: Chumley Films:Website: <a href='https://www.chumleyfilms.com'>https://www.chumleyfilms.com</a>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/chumleyfilms/'>https://www.instagram.com/chumleyfilms/</a> Wedding Capture Co:Give us a follow on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/weddingcapture.co'>@weddingcapture.co</a> Drop us an email: <a href='mailto:WeddingCaptureCo@gmail.com'>WeddingCaptureCo@gmail.com</a>  Keywords: Wedding Videography, Branding, Brand, Instagram, Content, shooting volume, UK Wedding Videography, Chumley Films.
