Thu, 11 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

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.

Coda Chats: The Becky Sessions

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

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.

K Smith Films // The Lost Art of the Feature Film

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

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.

Blue Ridge Films // Evolving & Adapting in a Changing Market

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 05:00:00 GMT

In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Steve Ringrose — the director of Blue Ridge Films and the inventor of the MicMag.

With over 12 years of wedding filmmaking experience, Steve has witnessed huge changes in the industry and successfully evolved his business and style to stay ahead of the curve.

In this open and honest conversation, Steve shares the bold steps he’s taken to adapt to the current downturn in the wedding industry, why leaving your ego at the door is essential for long-term success, and how a simple idea he had in the shower turned into the MicMag — a fast-selling product that helps filmmakers discreetly hide TX650 microphones.

This is a brilliant episode for anyone looking to innovate, adapt, and thrive in the ever-changing world of wedding filmmaking.

JOL Videography // The After Effects of Huge Viral Success

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Owen’s journey into wedding filmmaking is anything but typical - raised by two wedding photographers, he grew up surrounded by the craft, but it wasn’t until years later that he picked up a camera himself. And when he did, everything started to click.

Then came the reel. A groom waiting at the end of the aisle, overcome with emotion as an audio message from his daughter played just before the bride walked in. That one moment struck a chord online - going massively viral and bringing a wave of attention to Owen’s work.

We break down how it happened, why it connected, and what it’s meant for his business since. This one’s all about momentum, creative identity, and those unexpected turning points that change everything.

It’s rare to find a wedding filmmaker who’s doing something truly different - but that’s exactly what Alex from Mole Hill Media is achieving. He describes his style as “marmite,” drawing inspiration from romcom teasers and reality TV rather than traditional wedding filmmaking.

In this conversation, we dive into his unique approach: how he discreetly mics up couples for the entire day using hidden lavs, why spontaneous guest interviews add a new layer of depth to a couple’s story, and the process of shaping over 1TB of footage and audio into Netflix-style documentary films.
