Alivia & Marc
Your day, in your words
You found us while researching on Instagram, and what you asked for was clear: a film that captures the day as it unfolds — natural and authentic, not staged — while still being beautifully put together. That’s exactly how we shoot.
Your photography is with Plein Air, so we come in as your film team alongside them — staying out of the way, capturing the real moments, and letting one photographer lead the day so it runs seamlessly.
The whole ceremony
Alivia walked down the aisle by her dad, Marc’s first look, the vows and the readings — the ceremony edited minute-for-minute, across every angle, with clean recorded audio underneath.
A film to share
A five-to-six minute highlight — the one you sit down and send to family and friends. Shaped around your vibe and your music at a creative planning session closer to the day.
The full archive
The longer documentary edit — the formalities and the dancing kept at real length. The record you park for years, then return to as the film that gains value with time.
Two of you, two mornings
Marc getting ready in Maroubra, Alivia in Longueville — two homes, far apart. A cinematographer at each, so neither morning is missed.
Flow of the day
Here’s the day as it stands today. We refine the exact timings together at your planning session — syncing with Plein Air and your run sheet so nothing gets rushed.

Why two cinematographers
Your two mornings run at the same time in opposite corners of the city — Marc in Maroubra, Alivia in Longueville. So a second cinematographer in the morning isn’t an upgrade here, it’s the baseline: one at each home, then both at the church for the angles. What changes between collections is how far that second cinematographer runs into the day.
With you all day
John shoots from the morning through to the end of the reception (~11:45 PM), running three to four locked-off cameras through the night alongside the handheld work — so the room already looks multi-angle without a second person standing in it.
How far into the day
Straight answer: the reception room doesn’t need a second cinematographer — the locked-off cameras cover the entrances and first dance already. Where a second angle genuinely adds something is the photoshoot, which is why Your Day is the collection we’d point you to.
Your films
Four ways to relive the day, from a quick share to the full record. Tap through a real example of each — yours will be shaped around your own moments and music.
Teaser Film
A 45–60 second clip, delivered within two weeks of the wedding. The first taste, while the day is still fresh — and lovely to share. Included in every collection.
Highlight Film
A cinematic five-to-six minute edit, shaped around your vibe, your music and the moments that matter most. The film you sit down and share — style and pace settled together at your creative planning session.
Episode-Length Film
A 30–40 minute edit that sits between the highlight and the full documentary — the long story with the fast-forward parts pulled out. The core moments, beautifully paced, easy to rewatch.
Documentary Film
The deepest record of the day — the full ceremony, the formalities and the dancing kept at real length. The archive you return to for years.

Add-ons
A few things you can fold into any collection. Nothing here is decided now — we price it against the collection you choose and add it straight to your quote.
Episode Long Edit
The 30–40 minute middle-length film — longer than the highlight, easier than the full documentary. Built into The Complete Collection, or added to either of the others.
More dancing
An extended edit block on the documentary — more of the night’s dance floor, added to your film. Easy to decide after the wedding, once you’ve seen how the night ran.
Prewedding film
A short engagement & prewedding film in the lead-up — a lovely way to work together before the day, and a keepsake in its own right.
You experience your wedding three times
Before
In the planning — the run sheet we build together, the creative session where we settle the music and the feel, so the day flows and nothing is rushed.
The Day
As it happens — present for the real moments, out of the way, letting the day unfold while we quietly document every minute of it.
For Life
In the years after — the highlight you share now, and the archive you return to as the people and moments in it grow more precious.
Some moments reveal their value only with time.
