Liam & Shyanne
An archive your boys
will grow up with
You told me this is more than a wedding — it's the record your sons will grow up watching, the way you grew up watching your own mum and dad's.
Ten, fifteen, twenty years from now, your boys will sit and watch this day and see exactly where they come from — the name they carry, and the traditions you've handed to them. That's what we're really making here: not a wedding video, but the thing they play for decades.
Your ceremony opens the way you want it remembered — a smoking ceremony to cleanse the ground, and an Acknowledgement of Country spoken in language and then in English, all before Shyanne walks down. A quiet moment is held in the ceremony for family who can't be there in person. These are the parts of the day that deserve to be kept in full, not glimpsed.
You're keeping it traditional — no first look, Liam waiting at the top of the aisle, the walk down. And I'll be there in person on the day, filming it myself and keeping the timings on track so the two of you stay present for all of it.
How the day will flow
Because the smoking ceremony and acknowledgement happen before Shyanne walks down, I'll get a head start and be set up early to capture them properly. We'll refine the final timings together closer to the day — and if you'd like coverage to run later into the night, extra hours are $250/hr.
Two films from Chapel Hill
Two weddings we've filmed at your exact venue — so you can see how the grounds, the light and the day come together on screen.
You'll live this day three times
The build-up
The planning, the run sheet, the traditions you're deciding on now. I map the day with you so nothing gets rushed and nothing gets missed.
Being present
You live it once, in real time. My job is to keep it flowing so you're in the moment — not watching the clock — while I quietly capture it.
The archive
The film your boys play at ten, fifteen, twenty — where they see where they come from, and carry the traditions forward to their own.

Ready when you are
All three options sit on one quote, so you can look at them side by side and choose the one that feels right — no pressure, in your own time.
- $800 booking fee secures your date and locks me in for the 2nd of December.
- Final balance is due 10 days before the wedding — that's the only firm deadline.
- Pay it down however suits you. Small, regular payments anytime in between are completely welcome — so you can set your budget and chip away at it.
And it'll be me there on the day — filming it personally, and keeping the run sheet moving so the two of you can just be present in it. I know it's a big day for you both, and I'd be honoured to be the one who keeps it for your boys.
