Wedding Films by CineMotive
Relive the most meaningful moments of your wedding day through film that feels as real as the memories themselves.
We believe every couple has a unique rhythm, a mix of emotion, energy, and connection. Our approach goes beyond simply documenting the day. We focus on capturing the feeling of your moments, the subtle details, and the real interactions that make your story unmistakably yours.
Your Film, Your Energy
No two weddings feel the same — and your film shouldn’t either.
From soft, cinematic storytelling to high-energy, party-driven edits, we tailor the pace, emotion, and energy of your wedding film to match you.
Most couples naturally sit between two styles — and we blend them seamlessly across the day.

Most Popular Questions
We have a natural approach to wedding photography and cinematography…which means that we favour candid, real and unscripted moments. That doesn’t mean we don’t pose – when it comes time to take the formal group photos and portraits we certainly give you direction – but throughout most of the day, we try to be more of a fly on the wall capturing moments as they happen without being too in-your-face. However, we do have an active role in managing timings and emotions throughout the day.
All our editing is performed in-house by our dedicated editors. This allows us full control over the final product.
Depending on the month you’re getting married, we are often booked 12-14 months in advance, and we limit the number of weddings that we take on each year. To ensure our team is available, it’s worth reaching out sooner than later to reserve your date. It’s also worth mentioning that September and October are, by far, our busiest months, so don’t delay if you’ve chosen those months for your wedding date! It’s always best to complete your booking when you’re sure of your date and venue.
The vast majority of our weddings are either 12 or 14 hour days, usually starting around 10:00 am and finishing around 11:30 pm.
Our standard wedding packages include up to 150 km of travel distance from Sydney. Additional travel can be discussed in your first meeting.
These fees are only associated with the travel to the wedding location. Travel from location to location throughout your wedding day is not billed.
We are definitely happy to travel to wherever your wedding is taking place in NSW, interstate or overseas!
You’re not alone! Most people have never been photographed professionally and it can feel overwhelming. We are not lying when we say that about 95% of couples tell us that they’re not confident in front of a camera. What we can promise you is that, on your actual wedding day, you’ll have so much going on that being nervous about being photographed will be the last thing on your mind.
Most people choose to pay via EFT (bank transfer), we also accept cash and credit-cards.
The length of time before you receive your photos depends on the size of your wedding, and the time of year, but generally our full turn-around is 3-4 mths.
Once your photos are ready, you will receive a link to a password-protected online gallery that has all of the finished photos from your wedding day. This gallery has an option to batch download all of your images as high-resolution digital files and web-sized files as well. You also have the option to download photos individually, which is a great way to share the images from your wedding with family and friends.
This definitely depends on your specific wedding day, there’s no right or wrong answer. If you’re looking for full-day coverage, we recommend starting 2 hrs (plus travel) time before you need to leave from the bridal preps to the ceremony. That gives us time to capture some detailed photos and a few getting ready shots before everyone’s in their formal attire and ready to leave for the ceremony.
One month before your wedding day, we will email you a questionnaire requesting more detailed information such as a full itinerary, confirmation of venue addresses, etc.
Yes, you can choose your own music.
Music is an essential element that combines all the magical visual moments captured on the day.

Cinemotive we have used before and were recommended prior to family events and using Cinemotive for my first ever big event for my wedding was beyond incredible. John and team do such incredible work and during the leading up to pre wedding photoshoot to wedding…. it was all calm, relaxed, exciting and enjoyable with this team. John and team thank you for all your incredible hard work, support and most importantly capturing our best day ever! Highly recommend and can’t wait to use you guys more in the future.

We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible photography and videography by the Cinemotive team who captured our wedding day so perfectly. From the moment we first met with John and the team, they made it clear that the day was about us and they carried that mindset through every step of the process. On the day itself, they were both professional and personable, blending in seamlessly while still managing to capture every moment. The photos and videos are nothing short of stunning. Every time we look at them, we’re taken right back to the emotions and joy of the day. They managed to catch all the candid laughter, heartfelt glances, and unforgettable details that made the day uniquely ours. What really stood out was the support that continued even after the wedding. From checking in with us during the editing process of the photos and videos of the day. Not to mention, helping us create a truly beautiful album that tells the full story of our day. They ensured that everything was delivered exactly how we wanted, their care, patience and dedication is greatly appreciated. Thank you again to John and the team at Cinemotive for capturing the day beautifully and we can't recommend them highly enough. Laura FerraroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WOW WOW WOW... Cinemotive- you are beyond amazing. You captured both our pre wedding shoot and our wedding day, both photography and videography and all I can say is, the photos speak for themselves. The team are professional, engaging, experienced and fun to be around. I could only give 5 stars on this review, but if I could give 100 star rating I would. Highly recommend. Much love to John and the Cinemotive team!! Skye WexelmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot highly recommend Cinemotive enough. From my initial inquiry, all the way through to John and Tim capturing our special day, the team has been amazing to work with - responsive, adaptive, and detail oriented. Coming from someone who is more camera shy, they made me and my husband feel so at ease and made what seemed like a daunting process, so much fun. Our photos came out absolutely stunning, we could not be happier! Majority of our guests even asked how we managed to find the Cinemotive team! Thanks again John and Tim for being a huge part of our special day! Kassie MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A huge thank you to John and the team at Cinemotive for capturing our special day!!! The photos and videos from our wedding were absolutely stunning!

Highly recommend Cinemotive ❤️🫶🏼 Thank you for making our day so special!! Xx David GodfreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John, Simon and the Cinemotive team were excellent on our wedding day and for our engagement party. They worked tirelessly throughout the whole 10 hours+ we had them for and truly made every effort for us to have a great time whilst getting our photos. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone. You get what you pay for! Zayne RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 59 reviews
