The Becky Sessions

Merry Christmas from the Beckys

It’s our last episode before Christmas and things are feeling very festive.
In this end-of-year catch-up, we’re recording from unusual locations, wearing questionable festive headwear, and reflecting on what has been a huge first year of The Becky Sessions. We chat about nativity plays, school schedules, Christmas overwhelm, and the mental load of juggling editing, motherhood and work in December.
We also dive into some honest business talk: handling enquiries without bookings, imposter syndrome, pricing confidence, asking for reviews, and the emotional weight of working so closely with couples. Plus, reflections on community, creative careers, going full-time, and why this job — despite being hard — is still pretty magical.
We wrap things up by sharing our personal and professional highlights of the year, celebrating the podcast (and you for listening), and signing off with a Christmas joke straight from the kids.
Merry Christmas from both Beckys, and we’ll see you in the New Year.

The one with THE Grace Cardona

In this episode of The Becky Sessions, the two Beckys sit down with none other than Australian wedding-filmmaking icon Grace Cardona. From fangirl moments at Coda to navigating burnout, brand identity, and a decade of editing weddings, 
We dive into her start in the industry, how she built the legendary Bottlebrush Films brand, why raw footage can be a secret superpower and how she now balances documentary filmmaking with her wedding work. Grace shares candid thoughts on confidence, people-pleasing, women in videography, outsourcing, directing, travel editing and keeping your creative spark alive.
It’s a conversation packed with humour, big truths and practical wisdom for anyone carving out a creative career—especially the women who are shaking up this industry.

Deposits, Drama & The 3AM Videographers Club

We're back after Becky K's birthday celebrations and TWIA results and Becky T running on fumes after an eventful night with the baby.
We chat about: 
• Handling client cancellations • Networking — are wedding industry awards becoming more community-focused or competitive?• The magic of experimenting creatively, from mic’ing couples all day to trying Ray-Ban smart glasses on the dance floor• Why there’s more than one way to make a wedding film — and why difference is good for the industry
And yes, there’s also the bit where motherhood crashes the party — babies who won’t take bottles, sleepless nights, and juggling edits between nativity plays and carol concerts.
It’s candid, practical and packed with “you too?!” moments — a reminder you’re not alone trying to build a business while raising small humans.
Plus, our wins of the week and a birthday card joke. Tune in! 🎬❤️

According to Absolutely No Meteorologist

In this cosy catch-up, the Beckys dive into the sudden UK cold snap (with zero meteorological accuracy), spontaneous London trips with kids, social media strategies and upcoming birthday celebrations.
Becky shares her whirlwind weekend away, complete with Transport Museum adventures and Hamleys-induced financial regret. They talk about planning time off, the eternal battle with editing backlogs, and why female wedding filmmakers should definitely enter the British Wedding Film Festival this year.
Plus: storytelling magic in the edit and social media strategy revelations.
We wrap up with our Win of the Week and a lunar-themed Dad Joke you won’t see coming.
It’s honest, messy, warm, and very us — welcome back to The Becky Sessions.

Sick kids and screen time shame

This week, both Beckys are emerging from a fog of sick kids, delayed edits and general life chaos. We chat about the bizarre excitement of cleaning carpets, the panic of Christmas approaching too fast, and whether AI is coming for the wedding industry (spoiler: we spiral a bit).
We also talk enquiries — the droughts, the flurries, and the weird way they seem to arrive in clusters — plus the pressure of Instagram, screen-time revelations we definitely weren’t ready for, and the joy of wins of the week.
It’s cosy, chaotic, honest and very us. Grab a cuppa and join the chat.

Weddings, Wipe-Downs & Whispering Alexas

In this chatty, chaos-filled catch-up, both Beckys are back — a little sleep-deprived, a little behind on edits, and knee-deep in family germs. Between tales of norovirus survival, clearing up sick and nostalgic carpet mishaps, the conversation somehow swings back to business: editing workflows, using second shooters, and how to manage when life throws curveballs mid-backlog.
They dive into creative boundaries too — from venues reusing footage without permission to the ethics of sharing supplier content — plus a few handy Instagram tips for boosting inquiries. There’s plenty of laughter, a dash of festive excitement, and even a Traitors debrief before they wrap up with their weekly wins and a listener-submitted dad joke.
It’s honest, hilarious, and oh-so-relatable for anyone juggling motherhood, weddings, and creative life.

Coda: The Debrief

This week, the Becky's are fresh off the back of CODA — still buzzing, slightly emotional, and maybe just a little bit tired. They dive into everything from the inspiring talks and standout moments to the chaos of juggling babies, burnout, and big feelings.

This week, we’re joined by the brilliant Abigail Scarfe from Abigail & Luke Films — a wedding filmmaker, mum, and all-round creative powerhouse. We chat about how she and Luke accidentally fell into wedding videography, built a thriving business together, and even took their daughter along to destination weddings.
Abigail opens up about navigating motherhood while running a creative business, growing an online presence, and sharing her journey through infertility and pregnancy loss with honesty and strength.
