Georgina and Marcel - Wedding Highlights

Our aim in each of our wedding films, is always to capture the personalities of our couple.

Georgina and Marcel were a fantastic (and entertaining) couple to work with and I think that we have been successful in this highlight video of really showing who they are and capturing the essence of their day.

Please feel free to leave a comment :)

Margherita & Marc Highlights

I love it when we have the opportunity to put more into a wedding shoot than normal. Margherita and Marc's wedding was one of those occasions as I was able to film with Tim and Alex, giving us greater coverage and better opportunities for more interesting shots. I hope you agree that it came together really nicely :)

I'd also like to give mention to Chris Libro who performed at the ceremony. Chris is, in my opinion, the best wedding ceremony vocalist and guitarist in the business. An amazing talent whom I can highly recommend.

Amelia & Greg - Wedding Highlights

I am very pleased to present the wedding video of Amelia and Greg's spectacular wedding held at the Australian Technology Park (ATP) on Sunday 21st June 2009. This was truly an amazing event put together by James Klein of @tmosphere Events.

The transformation of the space at ATP was incredible and well worth capturing as you will see in the beginning of the video - a timelapse recorded over 2 days.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Ruth & Luis - Wedding Highlights

It's not every day that we get a request to use Stevie Wonder's 'She's a Bad Mamma Jamma' in a wedding video. But I have to say that for Ruth & Luis - it works sooo well !! I love this video for so many reasons - it was such a great day, a great couple and bridal party and they have chosen a great soundtrack for the video.

Following their ceremony on Observatory Hill, Ruth & Luis held their reception at The Wharf Restaurant at the Sydney Theatre Company.

Photography was by Lucas from Inlighten Photography. As always, Lucas & team were excellent to work with.

Thanks to everyone who has watched Ruth & Luis' wedding trailer - which has currently racked up over 5000 views ... a new record for us :) I hope that you enjoy the wedding highlights as much as the trailer!

Zarene & Jonathan - Wedding Highlights

inlighten photography
There must be something about fast-food restaurants ... you may remember Jessica and Bruno (posted here last month), who met while working at McDonalds. Zarene & Jonathan met while working at Oporto ... seems like Sydney's take-away joints are where it's at to find love!!

Zarene & Jonathan held their reception at The Country Trader at Alexandria. What an awesome venue! By day, it's an antique store - trading amazing furniture and all sorts of beautiful wares. On March 1st, it was transformed into the setting for Zarene & Jonathan's reception. I have to say that it's very cool to sit on a chair with a $15,000 price tag ... wouldn't want to spill your drink!

Photography was by Lucas from Inlighten Photography. As always, Lucas & team were excellent to work with and their photos - amazing!

Wow! What a wedding! Krystal and Jason's wedding was beautiful, emotional, fun-filled ... the cutest little flower girl ever !! Their wedding had it all !!

Married at St Charles Borromeo at Ryde, with the reception at Le Montage, Leichhardt. Photography was by our good mates JP and Patrick at Passion For Pixels. I have also featured a few of their fantastic photos below the video, including one that JP took of me in action.

I have to also give a special mention here to Utopian Fire. Made up of husband and wife team Za & Be, Utopian Fire are professional fire dancers who performed at Krystal & Jason's reception. They were sensational !!

Jessica & Bruno Highlights

Bruno is a very funny guy ... just ask him ! As he said in his speech, 'without him - a lot of people wouldn't have laughter in their lives' :)

Jessica and Bruno were great fun and we really aimed to capture the essence of the day in their video. The reception was held at Sydney's Luna Park, and the bridal party had the opportunity to ride a couple of the attractions there before launching into a great reception in the Crystal Ballroom.

The reception featured an impromptu performance from Rugby League legend Steve Roach, singing 'Doctor Doctor' and 'Bat out of Hell' alongside MC - Lou Greco. Entertainment was also provided by 'The Rat Pack's Back' - who were simply sensational!

It was great to once again work with our good friend Nathan from WG Photography.

I am very excited to present this highlight video and I hope that you enjoy it.

Kathleen and Miro were married in a traditional Serbian Orthodox ceremony at St Lazarus Church in Alexandria. It was a beautiful ceremony, with a vocal choir in the loft and Father Miodrag leading the wedding rites.

Photography was by Chris & Kate from Uber Photography. I have included a selection of images from Uber. The location shots were taken around the Redfern rail yards which gave a great grungy feel to the shoot.

The reception was held at Angelo's on The Bay at Cabarita. As you will see in the highlight clip - a fantastic location, and exceptional food :)

Amy & Cameron Highlights

We love to find emotional content within any wedding that we film - but occasionally we find one that really stands out and makes a great emotional connection.

Amy & Cameron's wedding was filmed by Justin and edited by Crystal. Just quietly, Crystal confessed to shedding a tear when watching the completed edit. I think she did an amazing job, as did Justin.

Photography for Amy & Cameron was by our good friends at Uber Photography. I think that Kate & Chris (Uber Photography) captured some stunning images that really captured the country feel to the wedding. I have copied some samples of their work below the video.

I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to leave a comment.

Dave.

Misato & Ben Wedding Highlights

On Saturday 15th November, Misato and Ben were married ... for the 2nd time :) Misato and Ben held their first wedding, a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony in Japan a few weeks before travelling to Sydney for their wedding here with their family and friends in Australia.

The wedding ceremony was held at St Phillips Uniting Church in Sydney, which is a beautiful old sandstone church filled with character. Speaking of character - the minister Joe was fantastic!

Photography was by our friends Kate & Chris at Uber Photography.

The reception was held at the Sydney Opera House marquee. The lighting and decor of the room were beautiful and made for great-looking footage. Something I hadn't seen before was the breaking of the sake barrel - a Japanese wedding tradition akin to the western tradition of cutting the wedding cake.

We would like to thank Misato and Ben for inviting us to capture their day. I hope you enjoy the video.

Watch for the shots of the wedding cake and bombonierre - which Emma made personally.

Highlights - Steph and Terry


Stephanie and Terry were married on Saturday 5th April, 2008. It was a day that included a beautiful ceremony conducted by Pastor Murray Harris, held at St Columbus Uniting Church at Woollahra. The photo / video session in Martin Place was loads of fun with the team from Foto Expression.

The reception was held at The Palais in Leichhardt. The celebration included a tea ceremony, a performance by friends and some excellent speeches. The bridal waltz was a highlight, where the dancefloor lighting made for some beautiful footage.

We would like to thank Steph and Terry for having us as part of their day. The clip below is the highlights clip from their wedding video.

Highlights - Erin & Daniel

Erin and Daniel were married in a beautiful little sandstone church at Wilberforce. This was my first time at St John's Anglican. The reception was held at The Sebel at Windsor.

Erin and Daniel were a fun couple and I think that really comes across in their video.

Erin and Daniel had this to say about their wedding video:

"We have watched our DVD from the wedding and are absolutely thrilled with it. You have done an amazing job! Thank you very much for everything; it was a real pleasure to deal with you, always friendly and very helpful. In the wedding industry you can come across some very rude and arrogant people, but we appreciated your honest, friendly and very down to earth approach. You made everyone feel very comfortable on the day which is a real credit to you.

The DVD has captured precious memories and will be forever cherished. Everyone we have shown the DVD to has been so overwhelmed with emotion as it truly captures our wedding day."

Jewish Wedding Highlights


Natalie and Marc's wedding took place on January 27th 2008. It was a truly spectacular event, put together by James Klein at @tmosphere.

The wedding took place at Central Synagogue, where Rabbi Wolff lead a beautiful ceremony filled with tradition, humour and music.

The fantastic music contniued into the night with the John Field band kicking things off with a high-energy Hora, but the highlight of the night was the performance by the special surprise guest entertainer - Marcia Hines.

Wedding Highlights - Michelle & John

wedding video

Michelle and John's wedding was one of our first for 2008. Married on January 12th at St Charles of Borromeo Church in Ryde, with the reception held at one of our regular venues, Lauriston House at Dundas.

The photo and video session was at Gladesville in the surrounds of Banjo Patterson Cottage. It was our first opportunity to work with Gavin and Nathan from Cato & Pade photography. A great team that I would readily recommend.

Cinematography: Dave
Assistant: Matt
Editor: Sam

Michelle & John wrote to me after watching their dvds ...

"Hi Dave,

Oh my goodness! What can we say? No words can describe how we are touched by your work. Our dvd is just the best wedding gift ever! Everyone loves it and it has brought them to tears! We don't know how to thank you (and your team).

I've watched the highlights everyday so far. Our wedding day was unforgettable. Thank you for playing a part and being so incredible! We will highly recommend your services to everyone!"

Highlights - May & Shane

May and Shane's wedding was held on a rainy Sunday in August at All Saints Anglican church in Parramatta. Despite the damp conditions, we had a great day and were still able to get a few breaks in the weather.

The reception was held at L'Aqua (Cockle Bay) in their Gold Room. May did a fantastic job of designing the colours to suit the room, as it looked amazing.

The pinnacle of the night was May & Shane's bridal waltz, which started out as 'At Last' but broke into a fully choreographed routine to Michael Jackson's 'The Way You Make Me Feel'! It was very well done and had the guests clapping and cheering for more!

Photography was by Natalie from Unique Photography
