The Becky Sessions

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 time off – Mum guilt, pumping in car parks & surviving long days – Creating meaningful experiences for couples vs just “getting the shot” – Booking highs, dry spells, and shifting enquiry trends – The mental load of wedding season (and knowing when enough is enough) Plus: “win of the week,” a questionable joke of the week, and a reminder of why we actually love this job in the first place.   Find us on instagram @thebeckysessions The Becky Sessions are @thompsonweddingfilms and @becky_kinross_videographer https://thompsonweddingfilms.co.uk + https://www.filmsaboutlove.co.uk/ Thank you to Amy Moore for the music https://www.amymooremusic.com 

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 editing backlogs and finding balance Energy, motherhood, and trying to look after yourself in busy seasons Content creators in the wedding industry—and why it doesn’t have to be a competition   Find us on instagram @thebeckysessions The Becky Sessions are @thompsonweddingfilms and @becky_kinross_videographer https://thompsonweddingfilms.co.uk + https://www.filmsaboutlove.co.uk/ Thank you to Amy Moore for the music https://www.amymooremusic.com 

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 storytelling style, the magic (and chaos) of shooting weddings solo, experimenting with Super 8, and the unexpected pressure that can come with industry recognition. Plus we talk about the realities of running a creative business alone – from late-night edits and post-wedding adrenaline to the importance of community in the wedding industry.  As always, there’s plenty of laughs, honest moments, and a few classic Becky tangents along the way.

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: The chaos of adding a puppy to a family Babies crawling, solid foods, and the myth of “working during naps” The nerves that come with your first wedding after a long break Wedding nightmares and forgetting how ceremonies work Booking anxiety, cancellations, and fluctuating enquiries The pressure of social media and whether we should even be posting weddings at all Comparing your films to award-winners and why it’s a dangerous game Pricing transparency and whether taking prices off your website actually works Gearing up for wedding season  We also talk about the upcoming ;That Wedding Videographer Summit; in Glasgow, where Becky K will be speaking about 'The Magic of Super 8.

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.

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. We also dive into some honest business talk: handling enquiries without bookings, imposter syndrome, pricing confidence, asking for reviews, and the emotional weight of working so closely with couples. Plus, reflections on community, creative careers, going full-time, and why this job — despite being hard — is still pretty magical. We wrap things up by sharing our personal and professional highlights of the year, celebrating the podcast (and you for listening), and signing off with a Christmas joke straight from the kids. Merry Christmas from both Beckys, and we’ll see you in the New Year.

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 documentary filmmaking with her wedding work. Grace shares candid thoughts on confidence, people-pleasing, women in videography, outsourcing, directing, travel editing and keeping your creative spark alive. It’s a conversation packed with humour, big truths and practical wisdom for anyone carving out a creative career—especially the women who are shaking up this industry.

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 there’s more than one way to make a wedding film — and why difference is good for the industry And yes, there’s also the bit where motherhood crashes the party — babies who won’t take bottles, sleepless nights, and juggling edits between nativity plays and carol concerts. It’s candid, practical and packed with “you too?!” moments — a reminder you’re not alone trying to build a business while raising small humans. Plus, our wins of the week and a birthday card joke.

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, and why female wedding filmmakers should definitely enter the British Wedding Film Festival this year.

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 pressure of Instagram, screen-time revelations we definitely weren’t ready for, and the joy of wins of the week. It’s cosy, chaotic, honest and very us. Grab a cuppa and join the chat.

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 creative boundaries too — from venues reusing footage without permission to the ethics of sharing supplier content — plus a few handy Instagram tips for boosting inquiries. There’s plenty of laughter, a dash of festive excitement, and even a Traitors debrief before they wrap up with their weekly wins and a listener-submitted dad joke. It’s honest, hilarious, and oh-so-relatable for anyone juggling motherhood, weddings, and creative life.

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!
