What you've shared

The shape of your day

Here's your day as I understand it — the anchors are set, and we shape the finer detail together closer to the time.

12:30–2:30 pm

Getting ready — both homes at once

Emma in Five Dock, [Partner] in Dulwich Hill. Both mornings run together, so both are covered properly.

3:00–4:00 pm

Ceremony

Trinity Grammar Chapel, Summer Hill.

4:00–5:00 pm

Photographs, just the two of you

An unhurried hour between ceremony and reception.

6:00–11:30 pm

Reception

Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf — right on the water in Pyrmont.

The gap between your two getting-ready homes and the church is the one piece of choreography we'll plan carefully — it's exactly what a second team is there for.

The choice you're weighing

Photographs, or photographs and film?

You asked to see the difference between the two — so here it is, honestly. Neither is the "right" answer; they hold the day in two different ways.

Photographs

The frames you'll live with

The images that go on the wall, in the album, on the mantle — the stills you'll pass a hundred times a year for the rest of your life. Timeless, natural, editorial. This is the foundation, and for some couples it's everything they need.

Photographs + Film

The day, moving and breathing

Film gives you back the things a photo can't hold — [Partner]'s voice in the vows, the laugh during the speeches, the sound of the room. Years from now it's the closest thing to standing back inside the day. It's why most couples, once they see it, don't regret adding it.

Your coverage

Why two teams

Your two getting-ready homes run at the same time — Emma in Five Dock, [Partner] in Dulwich Hill. One team can only be in one place. So two teams is the baseline here, not an upgrade: it's the only way both of your mornings are captured as they happen.

Your lead team — to the end of the night

Stays with the celebration right through to the last of the reception, around 11:30pm.

Your second team — through the formalities

Covers the other getting-ready home, gives a second angle through the ceremony and reception, and wraps once the formalities are done, around 9:30pm.

Why it's worth doing well

You experience your wedding three times

Some moments reveal their value only with time.

01

Before

In the planning, the anticipation, the imagining of it — the year of looking forward.

02

The Day

The day itself — which passes faster than anyone believes it will, and is gone before you've caught your breath.

03

For Life

And every time after — the photographs on the wall, the film you return to on the anniversaries. This is the part we're really here for.

The next step

Let's map out your day

Nothing here is set in stone. Each collection is a starting point — we'll shape every detail around your day together in your Wedding Planning Session. No pressure, just a proper conversation.
