How did four wedding photographers and filmmakers end up living round the corner from each other and walking the same canal every morning?
In our very first episode, recorded round the kitchen table with a microphone weirdly in the middle of us, we explain how the commune came about and why living close by made such a difference after years of working on our own. Then we get on to destination weddings. Liam loves the adventure and has shot sixteen weddings at one venue in Spain. Pete is quietly phasing them out. Laura and Bee would rather do more weddings at home and go on proper holidays. Liam also runs through what he found out about working in Spain, Italy and France after Brexit (this was 2022, so check the rules before you book anything).
Plus Liam falls down a ravine into a field of thistles mid portrait and has to be pulled out by the groom, we mourn the pub with the free pool table, Liam joins a 24 hour gym that still has its Christmas lights up, and our highs and lows of the week.
Our Creative Commune is four wedding photographers and filmmakers chatting about photography, videography and the wedding industry, just like we do over coffee most mornings.
