You thought we forgot didn’t you! Well we didn’t, we might be a day late but we did record a podcast today. As a nice little brucey bonus, we managed to find James after his boujiee trip to Devon shooting a clothing campaign and got him behind the mic!! This week we drill down into how we’ve each booked our weddings for 2027. From referrals to TikTok, we share openly how many weddings we have and where they came from. We want this podcast to serve as an encouragement but also a challenge to help you try some things or stick to what you know to help with bookings! Lots to unpick today plus our usual catch up as well. Happy listening 🎧

I know what you’re thinking, what on earth has that got to do with wedding photography? But the video on insta will show you everything you need to know. It’s an Olly & Ollie duet this week as James is away doing fun creative things! In his absence, we go a little all over the place but it’s all part of the fun right??? Lots of talking points this week: •⁠ ⁠Olly’s ear saga! •⁠ ⁠⁠Ollie’s arrow to the groin! •⁠ ⁠⁠Christmas Party tickets are flying! •⁠ ⁠⁠We also drop a little sneak peek into our new FramED day plans for next March! Bear with us on this one but hopefully it will be bring you some joy on this fine day! Ohhh and Olly sings (again!) you don’t wanna miss it

It’s September, so obviously that means it’s time to announce THE FRAMED CHRISTMAS PARTY PLANS!!! Early bird tickets are now available on the website! £15 for a ticket which is a bargain! The early bird offer ends in two weeks time, so get in quick to secure your ticket for £15 as opposed to £25. Anyway, Christmas aside, today’s podcast took a few twists and turns. After a little catch up on our weeks, we talked about white balance, tricky lighting conditions and our good old friend Kelvin to help us out. We also mourned over our choices of wedding attire at our own weddings, maybe we should release an episode on what we’d wear if we were getting married now? Lots of other talking points like James’ fashion shoots, Olly’s three photographers at one wedding and Ollie’s Nan who’s still winning camera club awards at 90 years old. It’s all in today’s episode of the pod!

Have you missed us?? Cos we missed you! The summer holidays are over, the kids are back and school and we are back behind the mics! Today’s episode is a catch up with the boys as we talk about what’s being going on whilst we’ve been away. Lots of exciting chat on this weeks episode including: •⁠ ⁠our love for Dr Squatch deodorant •⁠ ⁠⁠Ollie’s triple header wedding! •⁠ ⁠⁠James’s film only wedding! •⁠ ⁠⁠Olly’s sickness dilemma •⁠ ⁠⁠Someone’s finally moved house! •⁠ ⁠⁠A French chateau wedding! •⁠ ⁠⁠Fashion shoots! •⁠ ⁠⁠plus much much more!

It’s hot, might be too hot, might be… It’s also been a minute since we last did a podcast. The boys are back together and catch up on the last few weeks which has been chocker block with weddings, moving houses, birthdays, travel, editing, World Cup fever and of course, surviving this heat wave. Talking of the heat, we share some of our top tips to stay cool on weddings. How we manage the heat and still stay on top form on what can be intense days! Lots of laughs along the way as per usual. Ps it’s our last podcast until the end of the summer holidays, so don’t forget to go back and tune in to some of our previous episodes too! Have the best summer guys!

It’s been a week of wow’s!!! James’ last insta post gave Ollie the ‘wow factor’ and James shares his top tips for how he created those sensational images! Olly Knight was wowed by his recent wedding in Lake Como and Ollie Baines wow’d us with his Kew Garden wedding shots! As for today’s topic, it stems from Olly’s chat with a lovely wedding photographer called Dennis who shot his last ever wedding and he turns 90 this year! It got us thinking, how can we ensure longevity in this job? We give our top tips and discuss how we may need to pivot, adapt, stick or even twist along the way. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! As ever, please do comment and join in the debate. Shout out to Dennis, what a guy!

20,000 minutes since you last heard our voices, have you missed us? Well today we’ve dropped a new pod and it’s an extra long episode! So much happening! We have our usual catch up and hear how we survived the scorching weather in our recent weddings. Some good old Centre Parcs chat as well as catching up on how bookings are for 2027! Today’s topic is all about AI. The place it has in the wedding industry. Do we like it? How we utilise it? Is it gonna take our jobs??? A really enjoyable discussion and we’d love to hear your thoughts on AI and how you’re using it / why you’re against it? I’m off to watch iRobot now 👋

The dance floooor!!! Well this was a laugh!! The framED boys are back this morning with another episode. Our usual natter to kick us off with some house move updates from Olly and Ollie! Today’s convo is all about the dance floor, why we love it, how we shoot it and of course, we share our favourite ever dance floor memories. James tells the story of his 6am return from a dance floor, Ollie’s top tips for using flash and Olly’s stance on how to help people feel comfortable being photographed. Tonnes of tips in this ep! Plus, Knight Presets are out and ready to purchase on the FramED website. If you’re looking for a new look your images to give your photos more pop and punch, these could be perfect for you!

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.

Fresh back from half term and we have much to catch up on! Only 5 weeks until our FramED pre season party drinks - get booked in via the FramED website! Olly’s birthday and axe throwing antics! James calling out Floyd Mayweather Jr.. And an Ollie fitness comp ft Jonny Ward — who produced the music behind the FramED intro. Then we get into it: how we shoot wedding ceremonies without losing our style. Lenses. Settings. Tough church light. Creative positioning. Real horror stories and the best ceremonies we’ve ever captured. Loads in this one today and hopefully plenty to take away with you to your next wedding🎙️🔥

The trio are back 🎙️ We’re kicking off a brand new ‘How We Shoot It’ series on Framed and this week it’s all about prep. What we look for, how we approach the morning, the settings we use and the little things that help us get real, authentic prep images every time. Oh, and of course we give our most embarrassing stories of shooting prep too! Some absolute howlers in there 😂😬 Go give it a listen 👀🎧
