The Magic of Episode-Long Edits: A CineMotive Experience
At CineMotive, we believe that every wedding is a unique story, and we are privileged to be the ones to capture it. Our exclusive episode-long edits are a testament to this belief, designed to bridge the gap between our concise 5-minute highlights and extensive 2-3-hour video edits. These 30-40-minute cinematic edits are not just videos, they are a sensory journey that brings your wedding day to life.
What's Included in Our Episode-Long Edits?
Preps and Getting Ready
The moments leading up to your wedding are a whirlwind of emotions. Our episode-long edits are not just about capturing these moments, but about preserving the emotions and preparations of the day. We also highlight cultural traditions, complete with live audio of drums, musicians, singing, and more, adding an authentic touch to your wedding story and evoking the sentimental feelings of the day.
Wedding Ceremony
The ceremony is the heart of your wedding day, and our episode-long edits are designed to make you feel like you’re right there, immersed in the moment. We capture all the essential moments, from establishing shots of the ceremony location to the bride walking down the aisle and the vows exchanged. Our edits condense the ceremony into a sweet 8-10 minutes, featuring the first kiss and the end of the ceremony as a married couple. You’ll experience the essence of your ceremony without the lengthy 40-minute duration, but with all the cinematic immersion.
Photoshoot (After the Ceremony)
Your photo shoot is a time to capture those picture-perfect moments with your bridal party. We highlight the best moments of your photoshoot, accompanied by music to set the mood. These candid and posed shots create lasting memories of your special day.
Reception
The reception is where the celebration truly begins. We start with establishing shots of the venue and the entire entrance of the bridal party. Our edits include the best parts of the speeches (1-2 minutes from each speaker) and key moments like the cake cutting, first dance, and father-daughter dance.
For weddings with cultural dancing, we include up to 1 minute of each traditional dance segment (up to 5-6 conventional dance tracks), with live music recorded for these segments. We finish with a montage of dancing highlights over one or two music tracks, capturing the joyous atmosphere of your reception. The edit concludes with the bouquet/garter throwing and the final exit from the reception, ensuring every significant moment is remembered.

Zayne Robinson1. May, 2025 From the moment we met John and his incredible team at Cinemotive, we knew we were in the best hands. Their calm, warm presence made us feel instantly comfortable – like we were being guided by close friends who genuinely cared about capturing the most meaningful moments of our day. John’s eye for detail, his gentle guidance and humour helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, even during the most emotional and candid parts of the day. His team worked seamlessly in the background, yet managed to capture every look, every laugh, and every fleeting moment in the most beautiful, authentic way. What truly sets Cinemotive apart is not just their technical brilliance, but their heart. They didn’t just film our wedding – they told our story, and they did it with grace, patience, and love. We are endlessly grateful for the memories they’ve preserved for us, and we can’t recommend Cinemotive enough. If you want a team that will make you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease, look no further. Stefani Savetta29. April, 2025 We could not be happier with our experience with Cinemotive for our wedding! From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional, talented, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Every special moment was captured so beautifully. A very special shout out to Tim, who went above and beyond for us on the day. His calm, positive energy made everything feel so effortless, and he made sure we felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Tim truly has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for capturing authentic moments that we will treasure forever. Thank you to the whole team for being such an important part of our day; we are so grateful! Matthew Olivieri20. January, 2025 John and his team at Cinemotive made our wedding day feel even more special, their attention to detail and passion for getting the perfect shot really shows. I’m so excited to see how the photos turn out. Thank you for capturing our important day and making the photos and videos run so smoothly. natasha parasiris3. December, 2024 If you are looking to make once decision about your wedding that you are confident is the perfect one - make that choice booking Cinemotive as your photographers and videographers. It’s difficult to find the words to express just how highly I want to recommend John and the Team from Cinemotive - people often say this but if I could give a higher rating than 5 I absolutely would. My husband and I had originally been looking to go with another well known Sydney photographer for our wedding before we had a call with John, however the second our first consultation call had ended we immediately knew that there was no question, and we were changing our plans to go with Cinemotive. The difference between John and other photographers we had spoken to was night and day - this decision was genuinely one of the best we made regarding the entire wedding. They bring the perfect balance of professionalism and humour to put you at ease, the experience, kindness and all round amazing energy Cinemotive brought to our big day was unparalleled. I half wish we were getting married AGAIN just to have John and the team come as guests. Do yourself a favour and book them ASAP. Caterina Kouznetsoff20. October, 2024 As a Celebrant and MC it was a pleasure working with CineMotive. They are always professional and are happy to work with me to make sure we get the best outcome for everyone involved therefore giving the client exactly what they dreamed of for their day of all days! Thanks again Caterina Kouz Celebrant 🌸 Emilia Djordjievska25. September, 2024 We were incredibly lucky to have both John and Raj for our videography on our wedding day. From the get go, John went above and beyond. His helpfulness and expertise were evident throughout the day, making us feel at ease and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. They brought a positive energy to the day, seamlessly capturing the special moments. We couldn’t recommend Cinemotive more! Tatiana Moufarrej20. May, 2024 Thank you to John & the team at Cinemotive! They went above and beyond everything we envisioned and created the most beautiful content. They are so genuine and professional and highly recommend for any event. Shayne Cuschieri30. April, 2024 World class !!!! I had the pleasure of meeting John 6 years ago when he was shooting a relatives wedding. Throughout the night we had shared many laughs like we were mates for years! and not to mention his infectious personality, one that is hard to forget …… thus 6 years later, without hesitation he was behind the video camera for my wedding! John and his team at Cinemotive have exceptional eye for detail and create videography magic that in my opinion, is unmatched in the marketplace. The way that John can shoot his content and match it to your personality in the form of a video is absolutely mind blowing ! At the time of writing this, we have received our social highlight video which blew us out of this world! If that was a 10/10 for us, we cannot wait to get our full video and see your magic ! John, you absolute legend, thank you so much for capturing our wedding day. Your presence on the day brought that infectious personality which added so many additional memories to the day that Courtney and I will never forget. Thank you for going above and beyond and capturing our day, our way with your magical touch. You’re in your own league my friend, your work proves that. Highly highly recommend John and his team to anyone getting married!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Theresa DAnastasi24.

April, 2024 The best in the business. End of story! 6 out of 5 stars if google would allow… I don’t know where to start with John and Simon… Not only are they awesome humans, but they brought a sense of calm from the morning of our wedding. My brief was “capture the love and don’t make me pose” and they delivered!!!! They made a point for us to “be ourselves” whilst they blended into the background; It was like hanging out with two mates all day. Thank you CineMotive for THE BEST videography and photos. I couldn’t have asked for or imagined anything better!! Our photos are so romantic with a splash of edge and I can feel the love and happiness in every snap. I was speechless watching our short wedding video. I couldn’t believe how beautiful and in love we look and was a perfect snippet to relive our special day.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 50 reviews
