    How to Improve Wedding Bookings

    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. We break down what makes a business stand out, what turns couples off, and how you can improve your films, website, and delivery to convert more enquiries into bookings.

    Spice Wedding Films // Camcorders, Contracts and the Search for Joy

    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. He also shares the story of a client from hell that prompted him to create the wedding videographer Super Contract that can help videographers protect their creativity, set expectations, and keep their business running smoothly. This one’s packed with practical insight and real talk about filmmaking, storytelling and running a professional wedding-film business.

    Coda Chats: The Becky Sessions

    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. This episode sets the tone for what Coda Chats is all about: real people, real experiences, and the conversations we all need to be having in our industry.
