The Becky Sessions

It's officially the end of wedding season for both Beckys! This week we're chatting about the relief (and slight sadness) of hanging up our cameras for the year, the never-ending editing queue and why we really need to stop comparing our delivery times to everyone else's. Becky K shares how she's getting on with her first Pure Super 8 wedding film, her plans for a new set of Super 8 LUTs and why she's fallen even more in love with shooting on film. Meanwhile, Becky T has been handing camcorders over to wedding guests, with some rather questionable results! We also get into winter weddings, charging what you're worth, whether we'd ever quote £10k for a wedding, and the awkward business of negotiating prices. Plus, half-term chaos, late-night editing and a Golden Retriever who refuses to give up a dead rabbit. Just another perfectly normal Becky Session...   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     

We went to Coda 3.0, and naturally, we came away with plenty to talk about. In our first ever in-person episode, we’re chatting about our biggest takeaways from the conference, the conversations that stuck with us, and the things that got us thinking about our own work. From experimenting creatively and taking risks to pricing, comparison and the pressure to keep up with what everyone else is doing, we get into what it’s like trying to find your own way in the wedding film industry and remembering who we’re actually making our films for in the first place. Plus, the usual tangents, questionable conference commentary and the chaos that comes with putting two Beckys in a room together.

This week we're chatting about mum guilt, leaving the kids for weddings (and occasionally leaving them for something that isn't technically work), and why sometimes you really do just need to get away for a couple of nights. We talk about recent weddings we've had the pleasure of filming. Plus filming weddings while ill, trying not to be a d*&k about tripods, bouquets ruining first kisses, how many cameras are actually necessary, 25fps vs 4K. Oh, and Enrique Iglesias, running, crying, Coda, coffee, puddings and, naturally, a normal-sized man with a little drum. You know. The usual.

Two weeks, several weddings and plenty to catch up on… This week we’re deep in wedding season, chatting about the reality of filming in tricky spaces, working alongside photographers, second shooters, ceremony setups and the mild panic of trying to get everything ready before the bride walks down the aisle. We catch up on recent weddings, including a three-day celebration in Jersey and a London wedding. We also talk about trying to edit around motherhood and why creativity can’t always be rushed. Plus: CODA plans, content creators vs videographers and possibly the greatest dance-floor move ever witnessed: The Slug. As always, it’s weddings, business, motherhood and the general chaos of running a creative business.

We’re back!  After an accidental little podcast hiatus, the Beckys reconvene to discuss everything from filming weddings and staying in Premier Inns alone, to singing on the dance floor, questionable biscuit opinions and the fact that apparently we are now too old to understand Gen Z. There’s a bit of wedding talk, a bit of business, a bit of motherhood, a lot of catching up, and one very important debate: Hobnobs or chocolate Leibniz? Basically, it’s two Beckys having a catch-up after not speaking for ages. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot like an episode of The Becky Sessions.
