Ep 5 - Why Videography Matters with Sean Raymond Films

Why Videography Matters - with Sean Raymond In this episode, I sat down with Sean Raymond, a talented wedding videographer who reminded us that film captures more than just how your day looked, it captures how it felt. We talked about: * Why videography should be given just as much thought as photography * The beauty of spontaneous, unplanned moments * How good communication between suppliers keeps everything relaxed * Planning around natural light, trusting your team, and being ready for anything * Platforms like VidFlow that make reliving your memories super simple Sean’s insight? Trust your suppliers, be present, and let the little things shine - those quiet, heartfelt moments will become your most treasured memories.  If you’re looking for a Devon wedding videographer or exploring wedding video packages in Devon, Sean’s advice is a brilliant starting point. Many couples pair their film with live music — whether that’s an acoustic wedding singer in Devon, a wedding guitarist for ceremonies [https://www.thedevonweddingsinger.co.uk], or full wedding bands in the South West. Together, great videography and live music make your celebration truly unforgettable.  Follow Sean on instagram https://www.instagram.com/seanraymondfilms/ Follow me on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/olliestephens.music/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/olliesmusic] thedevonweddingsinger.co.uk [https://www.thedevonweddingsinger.co.uk/]

Ep 2 Jade Cockerill - Ivyhouse Photography

Episode 2: Finding the Right Photographer - with Jade from Ivy House Photography This was my very first podcast interview, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous at the start. Thankfully, Jade’s calm, professional, and down-to-earth nature made it easy to relax - which says so much about the energy she brings to a wedding day. Before we hit record, Jade was even singing along while the cameras were being set up. That light-hearted, joyful presence is exactly what you want from someone who’ll be with you for most of your celebration. In this episode, we chat about: * Why connection and communication with your photographer matter so much * How Jade helps couples feel calm, confident, and natural in front of the lens * The importance of honest conversations, trust, and managing expectations * Why your “dream team” of suppliers - from photographers to wedding singers in Devon - can transform your big day * How Jade blends a relaxed documentary style with editorial touches to capture authentic, magical moments If you’re planning your wedding, think about the overall atmosphere you’d love to create. Alongside stunning photos, live music from an acoustic wedding singer  or acoustic guitarist for weddings [https://www.thedevonweddingsinger.co.uk] can make your ceremony and reception even more memorable.
