A Wedding Photo & Film Proposal

What you told me

Your day, in your words

You found us by word of mouth — through people whose weddings and christenings we’ve already had the privilege of being part of. And you came in to sit down with us in person, which these days is rare, and which we loved.

What came through clearly: faith first, family close, nothing for show. You want the day captured as it really is — and kept in a way you’ll still be sitting down to watch with your kids years from now.

Church at the centre

You met through church, and faith is at the heart of everything — so the ceremony at St Spyridon is where this all begins. The crowning, the walk around three times, the common cup: documented in full from locked-off cameras at the altar, while we move around for the expressions on the people watching.

Something to show your kids

Your words: you want to look back on it and show your children. That’s what the documentary is for — the ceremony, the speeches and the dance floor kept at real length, zeibekiko included, as the record that means more with every year.

Family, kept simple

You’re not over-the-top people, and the mornings don’t need to be either. Everyone dressed and together — family photos at Danny’s dad’s place, the same at Kalliopi’s — with the timing refined together so no one feels hurried.

Everyone who came for you

The full congratulations line after church, family photos at the altar before you walk out, and table photos run as a quick line between entrée and mains — with photographers who ask guests if they’d like a photo, rather than waiting to be asked.

The dances that matter

Kalliopi’s dad called up as the first man in her life, then the handover into your first dance — and Danny’s dance with his mum. Moments you’ll want from more than one side.

Photos full of life

Bright, clean and happy — not moody. A complete gallery in colour and black & white, an album with those raised, framed pages you liked, and a print from your engagement shoot to greet guests at the door.

The shape of the day

Flow of the day

Here’s the day as we mapped it out together. It’s a winter wedding, so the light goes early — which is exactly why the time between church and Le Montage is planned closely, with buffers built in.

10:30 AM – 12:15 PM

Danny’s preparations

Marrickville

Family and the groomsmen, then everyone dressed and together for photos at Dad’s place.

10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Kalliopi’s preparations

Maroubra

The girls, the dress, and the family moments before the car arrives.

1:00 PM – 2:45 PM

Ceremony

St Spyridon, Kingsford

The service in full, then the congratulations line, family photos at the altar, confetti and a group shot outside.

3:30 PM – 5:00 PM

Photoshoot

Kirkbride, Callan Park & Le Montage

Family photos first at Callan Park, then the two of you and the bridal party — finishing at Le Montage as the winter light drops.

6:00 PM – 11:30 PM

Reception

Le Montage, Lilyfield

Drinks at six, doors at 6:30, your entrance around seven — through the formalities, the dance floor, and the send-off down the steps.

Final timings and locations are refined together as we get closer to the day.

Coverage

Why two teams

Your two mornings run at the same time — Danny in Marrickville, Kalliopi in Maroubra. So a second team isn’t an upgrade here, it’s the baseline: a photographer and cinematographer at each home, then both teams at St Spyridon, so the ceremony is fully documented from the altar while we move around for the creative angles. What changes between collections is how far that second team runs into the night.

Team 1 · John

With you all day

A photographer and cinematographer from the morning through to the end of the reception (~11:30 PM) — driving the timing of the day, the family photos and the photoshoot, right through to the send-off down the Le Montage steps.

Team 2 · The lever

How far into the night

The EssentialsThrough the mornings, the ceremony and the photoshoot, finishing after the reception entrances (~7:30 PM) — a second angle from behind as you walk into the room.
Your Story & The Full CollectionRuns on through the formalities and first dance (~9:30 PM) — the speeches, the cake, your dance with Dad and the handover, all from two sides.

The straight answer from our meeting: at the reception, a second team earns its place at the entrances and the formalities. During the speeches, one camera stays on whoever is talking while the other finds the parent they’re talking about — so the edit can cut to the reaction. After the first dance, one team has the dance floor covered through to the end of the night. That’s why Your Story runs Team 2 to around 9:30 and stops there.

Ways to relive your day

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.

01
The Excitement

Teaser Film

A 45–60 second clip, in vertical and horizontal, delivered within two weeks of the wedding — the first look for family while the day is still fresh. Included in every collection.

02
The Emotion

Highlight Film

A cinematic five-to-eight minute edit, shaped around your music and the moments that matter most — the easy one to send to family. Style and pace are settled together at your creative session.

03
The Experience

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 one for when family comes over.

04
The Memories in Full

Documentary Film

The deepest record of the day — getting ready, the full ceremony, the photoshoot, and the reception at real length, with ten minutes of every dance bracket. The film you’ll show your kids.

Parent Albums

Smaller copies of your album design for both sets of parents — the same pages, a more compact size.

Priced on request

More of the dance floor

Once we’ve seen how the night ran, extend the documentary with more dancing — decided after the wedding, while it’s still in the edit.

Why it matters

You experience your wedding three times

First

Before

It started at our table in North Strathfield, face to face. It carries on through the questionnaire, your pre-wedding shoot, and the run sheet we go through together over coffee — so on the day, there’s nothing left for you to think about.

Then

The Day

As it happens — present for the prayers, the crowns and the people around you, with two teams quietly keeping time so you can simply be in it.

And

For Life

In the years after — the album on the shelf, the documentary you sit down with your kids to watch, and the faces in it growing more precious with every year.

Some moments reveal their value only with time.
