S01. EP04. Wagtail Productions - How colour tells the story

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, April 17, 2026 • Duration 43:54

In this episode, we sit down with Ayla from Wagtail Productions, one of the most distinctive visual storytellers in the wedding film world, to explore the creative power of colour as narrative.

Ayla shares how colour grading goes far beyond aesthetics, becoming a storytelling device in its own right. We dive into how she builds a visual language for every couple, why no two films should ever feel the same, and how colour can reflect place, mood, architecture, personality, and emotion. Ayla also opens up about her background in the film industry, the discipline that shaped her craft, and the thinking behind creating films that feel entirely bespoke.

This is a conversation about cinematography, feeling, and the invisible decisions that make a story resonate. If you’ve ever wondered how colour can shape emotion on screen, this one’s for you.

S01. EP06. KAS Films - Crafting honest wedding stories

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, May 8, 2026 • Duration 01:10:01

In this episode of Beyond the Awards, we sit down with Katharine from KAS Films, winner of Breakthrough Filmmaker of the Year at the British Wedding Film Festival.

Kas shares her unexpected journey from high-pressure TV production to building a thriving wedding filmmaking business in just a few short years. With a documentary-led approach and a deep focus on authentic human moments, her work stands out for its warmth, honesty, and emotional storytelling.

We dive into:

- How she transitioned from TV into weddings (and why it wasn’t planned)

- Developing a distinct creative voice early in her career

- The balance between capturing real moments vs. creating “perfect” shots-

Managing growth, expectations, and burnout in a fast-moving industry

- Why storytelling, emotion, and instinct matter more than gear or trends

Plus, we kick things off with one of our favourite segments, Two Truths and a Lie, featuring drones, darts alter egos, and a very unfortunate bollard incident.

If you’re a filmmaker looking to find your style, build a sustainable career, or simply tell honest stories, this one’s for you.

S01. EP10. Philip London - How drone footage elevates your films

Season 1 · Episode 10

Friday, June 5, 2026 • Duration 50:51

In this episode, we sit down with Philip London, winner of Best Use of Aerial or Drone footage at this year's Festival.

We dive deep into the art of drone cinematography, and why less is often so much more when it comes to capturing a wedding day.

Philip shares his unique journey into the industry, from flying manual, high-speed model jets to picking up a camera, and how that precise background shaped his approach to aerial filmmaking.

We discuss the discipline behind his signature slow, deliberate visual style, and why he chooses to chase the quiet magic of sunrise over sunset.

We also get into the realities of high-stakes filming, from navigating strict drone regulations and heavy winds to the hilarious (and painful) realities of trying to land a drone on a drifting boat in Lake Como.

Plus, Philip reveals the unexpected technical choices behind his award-winning work and what happens when a major Universal music producer hires you to shoot their wedding.

This is a conversation about mastering your tools, resisting fast-paced editing trends, and using drone with true creative purpose to elevate your films.

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 01:12:45

In this episode, we sit down with Scott from Mackenzie Wedding Films to talk about the journey from working solo to building a fully realised studio.

Scott shares how he transitioned from being a one-person operation into leading a creative team, and what that growth really looks like behind the scenes, from finding the right people and building trust, to maintaining a consistent visual style and storytelling approach across every film.

This is a conversation about creative leadership, scaling with intention, and building a studio without losing the heart of the work.
