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.

During our conversation with Alex, we dive into how he’s used Instagram to book 90% of his weddings—and he shares his top tips for making the most of the platform. He also takes us through his journey from being a full-time musician to working part-time and then fully transitioning into wedding photography.

We also chat about his love of film photography and how he’s incorporated it into his business. He breaks down the gear he uses, his favourite film stock, and why film plays such an important role in his work.

Oh, and let’s not forget—James has his cringiest moment ever on the pod!

Alex shares so many great pearls of wisdom in this episode, and we’re beyond excited for you to hear it!
