WEDDING FILMS

 
 

Should I get a wedding videographer?

I know that a wedding is a big investment that will cost you time and money, so you will have to make the right decisions. But remember that your wedding day is not going to last forever - the only thing that will stay from this whole investment are the images. And trust me, films are the most vivid memory you will have, full of sounds and movements that allow you to go back in time.

Through your wedding film, you will be able to see your guests’ reactions and many more details which otherwise you wouldn’t be able to perceive in your busy day as the bride and groom. Wedding films are your chance to relive this stage of your life. Whenever you miss it, just play the video and you will be able to relive all the laughs and tears. Plus you get to show your future generations how it all started. Wedding films are emotional heirlooms designed to be cherished for decades to come.

Even though photography is extremely important, it will never replace a high-quality wedding film. In essence, those are two very different treasures you will never regret having.

I don’t feel comfortable in front of the cameras.
Should I still get a wedding videographer?

That is a very common feeling, trust me, almost everyone feels weird about it. In fact, most of my clients don’t feel comfortable in front of the cameras. Don’t worry, I know how you feel, and I don’t expect you to perform anything.
As an experienced videographer, I’ll guide you in a few specific moments, but our primary goal is for you to enjoy your day, so the natural beauty of love and happiness will be reflected in the film without pressure. Most of the time we will be in the background, seeking candid images where you won’t even feel our presence.

 

Do you do wedding photography?

Even though I’m both a videographer and a photographer, I don’t offer both services at the same time for weddings. Why? Because your day deserves full focus—and trying to juggle both can risk missing those once-in-a-lifetime moments or compromising the quality of your memories.

That said, I’d love to recommend some amazing photographers I trust and adore—starting with my absolute fave, Monica Cugnier! Feel free to get in touch for our combined film + photo packages.

Of course, if you already have a photographer in mind, I’m all in! Over the past 13 years, I’ve teamed up with all kinds of creatives—quiet types, big personalities, timeless romantics, and wildly artsy visionaries. I’m super easygoing and love working together to make the whole experience smooth, fun, and unforgettable for you.

If you're based in Adelaide, here are a few talented photographers I’ve had the joy of working with many times: Benny Wylde, Jessica Mary, Mish from Love Wild, Alexis from Goldlight, Michael from MP Visuals, Sebastian Paynter—and plenty more artistic souls I’d be happy to recommend.

The only time I do both photo and video myself is during family sessions, where I can comfortably manage the flow and timing.

 

What is cover in my wedding film?

The wedding film covers your wedding day as a whole. Then we take the best of each moment and create a unique film that narrates your wedding story in a sensitive manner. We’ll not only document it, but we will also create a cinematic, fun and beautiful film that is pleasant to watch. We are also proud of giving full attention to the audio - extracting the very best of it, including vows and the most special ceremony speeches.

The feature film is usually 12 minutes long, but if we feel your story would be shown better with a few extra minutes, we will do it at no extra charge. Want to have it all? Not a problem. You can still add the extra ceremony video, speeches, and first dance videos to your package.

 

Can I request changes in my wedding film?

Once you receive the videos you are more than welcome to request some changes. Basically, if you really miss something and want it included, I will first see whether I have the footage to include it and if I do - I will be happy to do it! The most important thing is that you feel satisfied and receive a real and valuable treasure from this day.

 

How long does it take to get my wedding film?

You'll get a 1-min teaser within 2 weeks.
Then, in approximately 14 weeks from your wedding day, your film will be available to be watched online. We will provide you with a private link.

Once, your videos are all approved, they'll be delivered on USB via postcode.

Reach out to receive the full price guide.

Do you charge for travel?

A travel fee will be applied only for locations that go further than 1-hour drive from Grange, South Australia.

 

Do you film same-sex weddings?

Absolutely — with all my heart. No matter how you identify, your love is beautiful and worth celebrating in every way.

As a queer person myself, this holds deep personal meaning for me too.

To be honest, it feels strange to even have to say this — in my view, it should go without saying. Love is love, full stop.
But since the world isn’t always fair, I want to be very clear: whoever you are, and however you love, you are safe here.

 

Do you offer elopement video packages?

Absolutely! I adore elopements—the intimacy, the quiet moments of pure connection between the two of you. These feelings come through so beautifully in film. Elopement films are often the most romantic, heartfelt, and personal keepsakes you can have to relive that day forever. They also make a perfect way to share your “just us” moment with loved ones who weren’t there. Let's chat about what you have in mind for your special day to create a custom quote for you.

 

Do you film micro weddings?

Yes, I do micro weddings! With just your closest loved ones around, there’s space to be fully present—and that authenticity shines in the film. If you're keeping your guest list small but still want to share the celebration, your wedding film can tell the story beautifully for everyone who couldn’t be there. Let's chat about what you have in mind for your special day to create a custom quote for you.

 

Do you provide a contract?

This is a MUST. We will always develop a wedding videography agreement covering all the details discussed with our clients. It is a safe document that will protect all parties. By having a solid contract you will know exactly what to expect, avoiding frustration and misunderstandings. It also covers all legal aspects, according to Australian laws.
