Coda Podcast - For Wedding Filmmakers

Chris has been in the wedding industry for over 20 years and is now known for filming extravagant, planner-led weddings all over the world. We talk through the journey that took him from where he started to working in the luxury wedding market, including the steps he took to build the right relationships, position his brand and start attracting a completely different level of wedding. But we also get into the side of luxury weddings that you don’t always see on Instagram — the expectations, pressure and challenges that come with working on huge productions alongside some of the best planners and suppliers in the industry. It’s a fascinating insight into not only how you break into the luxury market, but what it actually takes to stay there.

Mark realised pretty early on in his career that there was a ceiling on what he could charge within his local market. So rather than accepting that limitation, he made a conscious effort to look further afield. We talk about the strategies he used to break out of his local area, build a brand that could reach a much wider audience, and ultimately attract the kind of clients who were willing to invest more in their wedding films. It’s a really interesting look at how changing where you market yourself can completely change the kind of business you’re able to build.

Despite already running a highly successful wedding film business, Sean made the brave decision to completely overhaul both his brand and his shooting style, creating films that feel much more connected to the filmmaker he actually wants to be. We talk about what drove that change, how he completely transformed the way he shoots and approaches a wedding day, and the ongoing challenge of repositioning his business to attract a different market of clients. We also discuss how changing personal circumstances have influenced the kind of business Sean wants to build, and why sometimes success isn’t just about growing a business, but reshaping it to work around the life you actually want to live. It’s a really interesting conversation about evolving as a filmmaker, taking risks when things are already going well, and having the confidence to change direction even when the destination isn’t guaranteed.

Known for his high-energy films, Alfie from Clique Visuals breaks down how he creates an environment on a wedding day that gives couples the freedom to really be themselves. We talk about how that approach not only creates brilliant moments for him to capture, but also helps make sure his couples have the best possible experience on the day. And, in true Alfie fashion, we also get into some of the juicy stuff - including the story of the time he actually removed a content creator from a wedding.

Ryan’s rise in the wedding filmmaking industry has been remarkable. In just three years, he’s gone from charging £300 per wedding to booking packages worth up to £20,000. In this episode, we explore the marketing strategies and vision that fuelled that growth, as well as the mindset behind constantly pushing himself creatively, experimenting with new shooting techniques, and continuing to evolve as a filmmaker.

Today on the Coda Podcast I’m joined by Harrison Fletcher from Fletcher Films. Harrison started his business at just 21 years old and has spent the last decade building a respected luxury wedding filmmaking brand. But weddings weren’t the original plan—he actually wanted to be a YouTuber, but the storytelling and content creation skills he developed along the way became the foundation of his success. In this episode, we talk about building a business with intention, breaking into the luxury market, and why networking and collaborating with other filmmakers has played such an important role in his journey.

Richard has been a respected voice in the wedding filmmaking industry for many years, helping countless filmmakers elevate both their work and their businesses through his Clarity workshop and mentoring programme.

This week, I’m joined by Tom from Hitched Productions — a filmmaker who’s been consistently booking around 40 weddings a year, largely thanks to the momentum he creates through Instagram teasers. Tom’s teasers have become instantly recognisable for their high-energy, vibrant style, delivered just days after the wedding to capture the excitement while it’s still at its peak. In this episode, we break down his full strategy for creating and delivering those teasers, how they’ve impacted his business, and the workflow behind producing them so quickly without sacrificing quality. We also dive into the unique way Tom has been incorporating a vintage camcorder into his workflow to add another layer nostalgia and depth to his films. If you’ve been looking to improve your social media output, generate more word-of-mouth bookings, or bring more personality into your films, then this hat will bring you home great value Guest: https://hitchedproductions.co.uk Host: https://roo-films.com Coda: https://coda-conference.com 💡 Coda Membership - Learn, Grow & Connect Join an annual membership created for wedding filmmakers who want to keep learning, stay inspired and be part of a supportive community all year round.

The first episode in my series exploring wedding videographers using AI in unique ways features Steven Ringrose, who built an iPhone app designed specifically for wedding filmmakers and photographers called Prelude. Prelude can take all the information you have about a wedding — no matter how messy or disorganised — and turn it into a clean, minute-by-minute timeline complete with live notifications, helping you stay on top of every key moment throughout the day. In this episode, we break down the entire process behind building the app, how Steven used AI to bring the idea to life despite having no coding experience, and what this could mean for the future of tools built specifically for wedding creatives.

What do couples actually want when they’re booking a wedding filmmaker? In this episode of the Coda Podcast, I speak with three filmmakers who’ve recently planned their own weddings—giving us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how couples choose their suppliers.

Today on the Coda Podcast I’m joined by Chris Spice from Spice Wedding Films — a filmmaker known for his joyful, honest and heartfelt approach to capturing weddings. In this episode, we dive into how Chris found his voice as a wedding filmmaker, the surprising contradiction of manufacturing moments in order to capture footage that still feels completely natural, and why simplifying the client journey can transform the experience for both you and your couples.

Welcome to the very first episode of Coda Chats — a new, more relaxed corner of the Coda Podcast where we strip away the tech talk and have real, honest conversations about life as wedding filmmakers. For this debut episode, I’m joined by Becky Thompson and Becky Kinross , amazing filmmakers and also the duo behind The Becky Sessions podcast. Together, we dive into the realities of navigating parenthood while self-employed , our collective thoughts on the rise of content creators , and why the world of wedding filmmaking still seems to be so heavily dominated by men . We also explore the very different experiences male and female filmmakers can have on a wedding day — plus plenty more fascinating, funny, and honest insights along the way.

Today on the Coda Podcast, I’m joined by Kurtis Smith of K.Smith Films — a filmmaker who blends pure creativity with serious technical craft. While Kurtis creates high-energy short-form content that lights up his social feeds, his true masterpieces are his long-form wedding films . These are immersive, emotionally rich stories built with intention — shaped by his background as a musician and his ability to craft intricate, sound scores that give his work a signature depth and rhythm. In this episode, we break down how Kurtis approaches both ends of the spectrum — from punchy, viral-ready short form to the expansive long-form edits he’s become known for. And we even dive into how he managed to pull off a same-day edit at a wedding — the planning, the pressure, and the creative chaos behind it.

Luxury weddings, global travel and a brand that feels as refined as the weddings he films — that’s what Jake has built with Jake Burgess Films, and it hasn’t happened by accident. In this conversation, we break down the power of curation, collaboration and networking, how working with the right people can fast-track your brand into the luxury market. A seasoned destination shooter Jake gives us his top tips for travelling and shooting abroad — and we also dive into the corporate videography side of his business that allows him to avoid the seasonality of income associated with weddings.
