A Wedding Photo & Film Proposal

What you told me

Your day, in your words

You found us on social media, and what you asked for came through clearly: a film that tells the story of the day with real emotion and a sense of fun — cinematic, but never staged — with a few honest moments of dialogue woven through it. That’s exactly the kind of work we love to make.

On the photography, you like a timeless, editorial look for a handful of moments — without it tipping into over-posed — alongside the candid, real emotion of the day as it actually unfolds. So we hold both: a little editorial where it earns its place, and the day left to breathe everywhere else.

Timeless, and real

A few considered, editorial frames through the morning and between the ceremony and reception — and everywhere else, the candid, in-the-moment emotion of the day as it happens.

A film to share

A cinematic highlight film — the showpiece you sit down and share with family and friends. Story-driven, with the emotion and the fun, and a few selective lines of dialogue drawn from the vows and speeches.

The whole day, documented

A documentary edit alongside the highlight — the full ceremony minute-for-minute, the entrances, the speeches, the cake and first dance. Not the one you watch every week, but the record that’s there in full.

Two of you, two mornings

Getting ready across two locations — Alexandria and a second spot closer to Mosman. A team at each, so neither morning is missed, then both teams together at the ceremony.

The shape of the day

Flow of the day

Here’s the day as it stands today. The exact timings get refined together at your planning session — working back from the 4:00 ceremony so the two mornings and the drive to Mosman all sit comfortably, with nothing rushed.

Coverage

Why two teams

Your two mornings run at the same time, in different parts of the city — Alexandria and a second location closer to Mosman. A team is a photographer and a videographer together, so the honest way to hold both mornings is a team at each: neither getting-ready is missed, and then both teams come together at the ceremony for the angles. What changes between collections is how far that second team runs into the day.

Team 1 · With you all day

Start to finish

Your lead photographer and videographer stay with you from the morning through to the end of the coverage window (~9:30 PM), running three to four locked-off cameras through the ceremony and reception alongside the handheld work — so the room already looks multi-angle without a crowd standing in it.

Team 2 · The lever

How far into the day

The EssentialsA single team covers both mornings by moving between the two locations — one getting-ready is captured a little earlier — then stays with you all day.
Your DayA second full team so both mornings are captured at the same time, both teams at the ceremony, and Team 2 finishing at the end of the ceremony.
The Complete CollectionTeam 2 runs on through the photoshoot and into the reception entrances (~7:30 PM) for a second angle on the room and the grand entrance.

Straight answer: the reception doesn’t need a second team — the locked-off cameras already cover the entrances and first dance. Two teams earn their place across the two mornings and the ceremony, which is why Your Day is the collection we’d point you to. The single-team Essentials is there if you’d rather keep it lean.

Ways to relive your day

Your films & photographs

A few 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, your music and your vibe.

01
The Excitement

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.

02
The Emotion

Highlight Film

A cinematic five-to-eight minute edit, shaped around your vibe, your music and the moments that matter most — story-driven, with the emotion and the fun, and a few selective lines of dialogue. The film you sit down and share.

03
The Memories in Full

Documentary Film

The deepest record of the day — the full ceremony minute-for-minute, the entrances, the speeches and the formalities. The archive you park for years, then return to.
