FramED: The Wedding Photography Podcast

On today’s episode, after a little catch up on Olly’s incredible run of 8 wedding bookings 🤯, and James’s birthday over the bank holiday weekend 🎉, the boys chat through couple portraits!

They both have very different approaches when it comes to couple portraits, so in this episode they share their different perspectives, as well as some of the things that unite the way they both approach this part of a wedding day.

Olly also shares how Jonny MP and Sam Docker have been helpful influences on his style and approach.

If you’ve ever struggled with couple portraits, or want to know how two photographers on different ends of the spectrum do their portraits this will be a super helpful episode for you!

Olly shares highlights from his family trip to Seville, James reflects on a whirlwind month of birthdays and Ollie brings some exciting house move news— then we dive straight into this week’s topic: speeches!!

From how we approach shooting them to the unpredictable, funny and sometimes chaotic moments they bring, we’re unpacking everything. We talk through our mindset on the day, how to stay ready for anything and the best ways to navigate speeches without missing the magic.

If you’ve ever wondered how we handle this part of the day, listen in now 🎙️

Ollie’s back this week and kicks things off by reliving his first ever Hyrox solo — including the moment he nearly pulled out just TWO minutes before the race 😅.

Olly and James catch up with their weekly updates before we dive into today’s topic: group shots!

Often overlooked and lacking in creativity, group photos can be one of the trickiest parts of a wedding day. In this episode, we break down how we approach them from lens choices and positioning to handling difficult dynamics and unpredictable environments.

We’re also sharing our top tips to keep things smooth… along with a few horror stories you won’t want to miss 👀

Make sure you stick around until the end to meet our unexpected (and unplanned) fourth guest…🫠

Tune in now 🎧

We’re back after a couple of weeks away 😁

In this episode, James and Olly catch up on the last couple of weeks, and it’s been a busy one for both of them. Sadly, Ollie Baines couldn’t join us because he was off smashing it at Hyrox 🙌🏾

We chat about our time at Nine Dots Day, which was honestly so good. So many brilliant speakers, so many great talks, and a big shoutout to Danny Jack who came along with us and was an absolute joy to have there.

We also catch up on Olly’s time at the Fearless Conference in Florence, where he gave a talk about connection with couples and did some street photography with the legendary Dan Morris and Rafe Abrook.

James also fills us in on the Top 50 Wedding Photographers drinks night organised by Style and Professional Photo Mag, plus his film only portrait session.

Such a fun one to record. Go give it a listen 🎧

In this week’s episode of FramED, it’s a big one…

It’s Ollie Baines’s wedding anniversary!
James Richard drops an exciting announcement!
Wedding season is officially up and running for Olly Knight!

This week, we’re diving into our favourite (and most intense) part of the day — the reception.
From navigating a relentlessly tight schedule to anticipating and capturing real, blink-and-you-miss-it moments, we unpack how we handle the chaos while staying creative.

We talk about:
•⁠ ⁠Managing the pressure when the timeline starts slipping
•⁠ ⁠Capturing genuine moments in a room full of distractions
•⁠ ⁠How we interact with guests
•⁠ ⁠What happens when wedding guests pick a fight with us!!

There’s plenty of value in this one… and, as always, some absolutely terrible chat along the way.
