Our popular Fed:Talks events are BACK FOR 2025 and bigger and better than before!

Tickets are free for full members and £45 if you’re not yet a member!
WHAT ARE FED:TALKS EVENTS?
Fed:Talks are our flagship networking events. We come to a city or town near you and we host a valuable day of networking with a splash of practical and creative learning and a heap of added value from our industry partners. Not to be missed, and we hope you’ll join us for this one! Read on for more info about the event and grab your ticket before they all go!
FREE TICKETS FOR FULL MEMBERS!!
And a crazy low £45 for everyone else!
If you’re a full member of FedWed then your ticket to this event is included in your membership which yes we know is insane because the value is tremendous, but we built FedWed because we believe so strongly in the power of in-person events and connecting with other wedding photographers and filmmakers. These are the events we’re building FedWed around.
So have a read of everything we’ve got planned below, but make sure you grab your free ticket ASAP – just log in first to reduce the price to zero!
Part of the reason it’s possible for us to create such high value events with such low ticket prices and free tickets for members is because of the amazing support of our industry partners, and for that we can’t thank them enough.
THE TALKS
DISCUSSION STARTERS AND THOUGHT PROVOKERS
You'll hear a couple of talks - one right at the start of the day and one right at the end of the day. This gives a bit of structure to the day and also gets the discussion in the room going...
For the 2025 Fed:Talks talks we've taken a very practical approach - with everything that appears to be happening within the industry we wanted to bring you insight and value that goes beyond simple inspiration. Each Fed:Talks event will have two totally unique and fresh talks to get you thinking and able to take action in your business, marketing or work.
And Your Birmingham Speakers Are...
Adam Lowndes
A Guide to TikTok Marketing
Debbie Bedford
The Yes Code: Unlocking Easy Sales
FEDWED PANEL Q&A
QUIZ ADAM, STE, PANEL MEMBERS AND SPEAKERS TO FINISH THE DAY
THE ADDED VALUE
THIS ISN'T JUST A HANGOUT!
We work really hard to craft events that are more than just a social and more than just a hangout, but still feel like a social and feel like a hangout!
Our partners are chosen specifically for the added value they bring to our events, and they aren't just there to promote themselves or sell you stuff.
Their support also means we're able to host our events in inspiring and interesting spaces too.

Here's what you can expect in Birmingham...
SONY Cameras and Lenses to try out!
The Sony Pro Support team will be bringing loads of cameras and lenses for you to try out on the day, and they can arrange longer loans of equipment you want to try before you buy. Speak to Max and the team on the day!
** NO CAMERA CLEANING AT THIS EVENT **
Unfortunately we aren't able to offer the camera cleaning service at this event, so we expect a flurry of new headshots being taken in the FedShot studio!
Trade in your old gear with London Camera Exchange
You know that drawer or shelf full of old stuff that you don't use and keep meaning to sell? Well bring it down! The London Camera Exchange team will check it out and give you a price on the day for sale or part exchange!
Get a good offer on your next purchase
Between the Sony and London Camera Exchange teams, there will be some good offers to be had on the day. But you need to be there to know what they are!
Level up your albums game with Graphistudio
If you're not selling albums yet, the Graphistudio team will help you get set-up and coach you on how to get started with integrating albums into your packages and sales process. If you're already offering albums but not selling many they'll help you work on that from a sales and presentation perspective.
Leverage the power of AI with Aftershoot
If you've been thinking about incorporating AI into your workflow whether it's for culling, selection or editing then the Aftershoot team will be on hand to show you how it works and answer any questions. And if you're already using Aftershoot for your editing workflow, learn how to get even more out of it with tips and tricks you might not know about yet.
The FedShot Studio!
Do you fancy a fresh headshot? A FedShot? We will set up some studio lights and backdrop if we can so you can get a brand new profile pic!
FOOD & DRINK
If you attended our 2024 FedTalks launch events, you’ll know we provided full catering at every event and although that went down well (literally and figuratively) we really didn’t feel good about the food wastage. Luckily at a few events we were able to make sure the wasted food went to the local homeless shelter but not at all events.
This year we’ve teamed up with Huel to give you a ready-to-drink Huel for your lunch, plus some Huel snack bars for if you’re peckish.
Your thirst for fluid will be quenched by DASH drinks, while your thirst for knowledge is simultaneuously and joyously quenched by the talks and networking!
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- You want to meet new people, get fresh ideas and grow your network in a room of people who feel exactly the same.
- You want to learn some new stuff, but not be overwhelmed by a full day of back to back talks.
- You find this job a bit lonely sometimes and enjoy getting our and meeting your wedding photo and video colleagues.
- You want to maximise the value you're getting from your FedWed membership.
- You love the unbelievable amount of added value our partners are bringing to the event!

NO EGOS AND NO 'TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL' VIBE
There were no egos that I saw, there was no too cool for school vibe and those that turned up were all of the same mindset of being supportive and friendly.

QUESTIONS?
QUESTIONS?
Yes you do – order one ticket and you’ll get an email with details of how to give away your +1.
We will tell you the venue in your ticket confirmation email. We don’t always book the venue at the time we start selling tickets because we don’t want venues that are too big or too small, so we often wait until we know a rough idea of how many people are coming.
If we’re offering camera cleaning, then for sure you should take advantage of it! But other than that it’s optional. We usually set up our FedShot headshot studio so it’s a cool opportunity to take headshots for each other too.
No! The Sony Pro Support team will be cleaning all brands, so whatever cameras you use, bring them down (maximum 2 bodies and 4 lenses per person).
Great, we’d be happy to answer any questions just Contact Us Here.
Amazing, just drop us a line and we can discuss how you’d like to work together.
