Natasha & Rory
Your day, in your words
You came to us on the recommendation of a colleague we photographed and filmed last year — and the day you described is relaxed, close to home and built around family. Rory’s family flying in from overseas, eighty guests in one room above the water at Coogee, and a long Mediterranean-style dinner where the formalities are done early so everyone can settle in.
You also told me you don’t want to spend the day taking photos. So the plan keeps it short and worth it: family portraits at the church, half an hour in Paddington’s terrace streets, and the ocean waiting for you at the end.
Family first
Natasha with her mum, dad and sister in the morning; Rory with family who’ve travelled a long way to be there. Candid all day — plus at least one proper, look-at-the-camera portrait at every location, the kind that ends up framed on a parent’s wall.
Real, not styled
A little of the morning before the dress goes on, without the long flat-lay routine. Rory’s already dressed when we arrive — the tie, a drink, his family — then the bulk of the morning is with Natasha, five minutes up the road.
Two backdrops, then the beach
The sandstone arches along the side of the church, then the coloured terraces around William and Underwood Streets in Paddington — the European feel you were after — and the ocean at Coogee as the light goes golden.
Formalities done early
Nothing too formal, and no official exit. The cake topper cut at the start to get it out of the way, speeches split between entrée and dinner so nobody has to concentrate for too long, a first dance, then the dance floor.
A highlight you’ll come back to
You were honest: a full-length edit you’d watch once; a highlight you’d actually rewatch. So the film is built around the best moments — fun, with snippets of your vows and speeches woven through.
And Pablo
Pablo joining you for the last few steps of the walk-out at the church, then along to the photoshoot with his own minder for the day. We’ll plan exactly when he arrives and leaves so it’s easy on everyone.
Flow of the day
Here’s the day as it stands today, built around a 3:00 PM ceremony and a short drive between every stop. We refine the exact timings together as your run sheet comes together — so nothing gets rushed.
Rory’s preparations
Dressed and nearly ready — the finishing touches, a drink with your best man, and portraits with family.
Natasha’s preparations
Mum, dad and your sister. A little of the morning before the dress, then the dress itself and a few quiet family moments before you leave.
Ceremony
The nuptial ceremony, then the walk-out and congratulations. Immediate family portraits under the sandstone arches beside the church before you leave — and Pablo for the last few steps out.
Photoshoot
Half an hour walking the coloured terraces — relaxed, unhurried, no posing marathon — then on to Coogee.
Reception
Guests arrive for canapés from 5:30, you walk in around 6:00. Cake early, speeches across entrée and dinner, first dance, dancing. December light runs late, so we’ll slip you out to the balcony for ten minutes of sunset portraits over the water.
Final timings and locations are refined together as we get closer to the day — including where the family portraits sit, the rainbow-steps photo with everyone, and when Pablo joins. Coverage is planned to around 10:00 PM; if you’d like more of the night, it’s easy to extend by the hour.
One team, start to finish
Your two mornings are five minutes apart, so one connected team — a photographer and a cinematographer — covers both: Rory first, then the bulk of the morning with Natasha. And with eighty guests in one room, one photographer is plenty for the reception: they roam for the candid moments while the film camera stays on whoever’s speaking.
With you, morning to night
Your lead photographer is with you from Rory’s preparations (12:00 PM) through to around 10:00 PM in every collection — calling the family portraits, keeping time and making sure you’re present for the day rather than chasing it. Your cinematographer films the ceremony across three cameras, so the full service is recorded from every angle regardless.
How much of the day on film
Straight answer: a second photographer isn’t needed at the reception — not for eighty guests in that room. Where one genuinely adds something is the church and the photoshoot: while your lead photographer is organising family groups and keeping things moving, a second is off to the side catching the moments nobody’s posing for. That’s why it sits in the Full Collection, or as an add-on — not in the plan we’d point you to, Your Day.
Your films & photographs
Four ways to relive the day on film, from a quick share to the full record — and every photograph alongside. Tap through a real example of each; yours will be shaped around your own moments and music.
Teaser Film
A 40–60 second clip, delivered within two weeks of the wedding. The first taste, while the day is still fresh — and easy to share with family overseas. 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 — with snippets of your vows and speeches woven through if you’d like them. The film you’ll actually rewatch. Style, pace and how much dialogue sits under it are settled together at your creative 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 ceremony stripped back to its core moments, the best of the speeches, the first dance and the dancing.
Documentary Film
The deepest record of the day — the full ceremony and every speech, kept at real length. The archive you park for years, then return to as the moments in it reveal their value.
A Full Wedding Gallery
No cap on how many photographs we take. Your gallery arrives edited in full, in colour and black & white, sectioned through the day — with face search, so you can pull up every photo of Rory’s family or your sister in seconds. Download in full resolution, share, favourite, print.

Add-ons
A few things you can fold into any collection. Nothing here needs deciding now — add it in your quote, closer to the day, or in some cases after the wedding.
Second photographer
For the ceremony through to the end of the photoshoot (3:00–6:00 PM). While your lead photographer organises family groups and keeps time, a second is off to the side for the in-between moments — the ones you said you love.
Basic Documentary film
The full ceremony and every speech, in one longer edit. You told me you’d likely watch it once — fair. It’s here because we film the ceremony and speeches in full regardless, so it can be added after the wedding if you ever want it.
Fine-art leather album
A premium leather album designed from your gallery — the one that sits on the coffee table and gets pulled out when family visits. No need to decide now; it can be added any time, including after the wedding.
A longer highlight
An eight-to-ten minute highlight in place of the five-to-six — a little more of the day in the film you’ll come back to, with room for more of your vows and speeches.
You experience your wedding three times
Before
In the planning — the run sheet we shape together, a call with your photographer, and a creative session to settle the music, pace and feel of your highlight. So the day flows and neither of you feels rushed.
The Day
As it happens — family at the church, Paddington’s terraces, the ocean at sunset and a long dinner with your people. We keep time quietly in the background so you can simply be in it.
For Life
In the years after — the highlight you’ll keep coming back to, every photograph of the family who travelled to be there, and the full ceremony and speeches kept safe on your hard drive.
Some moments reveal their value only with time.
