This episode is a cracker! We speak to the one and only Becci Wiles about her journey from being a primary school teacher to becoming a wedding photographer.

Olly asks Becci about her experience of being mentored, how her last 18 months have been in the industry, how she manages to run a business with two young kids and wombs (yeah wombs)

Becci has emerged as a real talent in the industry whose documentary work is full of colour and humour. You won't want to miss this episode (there's even a song and a quiz). To see more of Becci's work you can find her wedding work "Becci Wiles Photography" and her family work "Families by Becci"

This week on FramED, it's just Ollie and Olly holding down the fort while James is off being a super Dad! We take a trip down memory lane reminiscing about how we first met and the journey that led us to working together.

We also bond over our shared love of Julia Donaldson (because who doesn’t appreciate a good Tabby McTat reference?) Olly shares about his heat pump woes and eco house dreams. Then we talk about an important topic: how to photograph people who feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Whether it’s a nervous Groom, a self-conscious Bride, or just someone who hates having their photo taken, we share our approaches to help people relax.

A laid-back, fun episode full of stories, insights, and plenty of laughs—tune in now!

Now, this was a good one! On today’s episode of the podcast, we have the incredibly talented Alexander Stevens! If you’re into film photography and thinking about transitioning into full-time wedding photography, this is a must-listen.
