    Are wedding content creators causing problems… or exposing ego?

    Wedding content creators are everywhere — and brides are booking them for the stuff photographers don’t deliver: raw, phone-first clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and fast turnaround content for Reels/TikTok and Stories. But there’s tension in the industry right now, and some photographers won’t work alongside content creators at all.  In this episode, I sit down with a wedding content creator to strip away the noise and answer the real questions: What a wedding content creator actually does (and what they don’t)  Why the clash with photographers happens — and how to prevent it When to book, how to brief them, and what to ask before you pay The “rules of engagement” so your day doesn’t turn into a supplier power struggle If you want the memories and the moments — without awkward energy — this is the one.

    Just let me breathe!

    Louise didn’t plan a “pretty” wedding. She planned hers. In this episode, we’re chatting to a bride who threw the rulebook out, followed her gut, and built an alternative wedding that actually felt like her and her partner — complete with life-size cut-outs of William Shatner and Nicolas Cage (yes, really). We talk about: how they made decisions without getting steamrolled by tradition what it’s like to commit to a bold vision when other people don’t “get it” the moments that mattered most on the day (and what she’d do differently) why an “alternative” wedding isn’t a theme — it’s a mindset If you’re planning a wedding and secretly thinking “I don’t want any of this… I want something that feels like us,” this one will give you permission, ideas, and a serious laugh.

    Swish the sleeves again!!

    A chance meeting on X, from Birmingham to the Alps this is a beautiful real life story about Joanne and her journey to the aisle. Not every bride’s journey to the aisle is plain sailing. Sometimes life throws something so big, so unexpected, that the world stops and everything you were preparing for suddenly shifts. In this episode, we sit down Joanne whose wedding planning collided with a diagnosis no one wants to hear. Mere weeks before her day, real life stepped in — she didnt let this derail her plans, she shifted and refocused and continued. What unfolds is not an episode about illness, but about resilience, identity, and a woman who refused to let anything define one of the most meaningful moments of her life. From her breathtaking gold bespoke gown with its iconic sleeves, to the quiet courage behind every decision she made, this is a conversation about strength, love, and the parts of the bridal journey that is so very real for so many people. A reminder that behind every beautiful dress is a human being, family and friends navigating real life, real emotions, and real challenges — and sometimes the most powerful bridal stories are born from the hardest chapters. Joanne you're an inspiration!

    Definitely Drag Queens and maybe a donkey?!

    In this episode I chat with Sonya & Stacey about how they pulled off the most chilled and fun filled wedding imaginable. We talk feathers, drag queens and debate whether it was a donkey or a llama - we're still not sure! What this conversation is though, is real life - the kind of wedding story that reminds you that it doesn't have to chaos and stress and you can enjoy the process. Enjoy x
