Lachlan & Georgia
What You Told Me
It was lovely connecting the dots on the call — we shot Lachlan's brother Paul & Samantha's wedding, and Georgia, you were there that morning at the bride's house. So this already feels like family. Here's what I took away from our chat.
Lachlan getting ready at Belfield, Georgia at Peakhurst — both running at the same time, with the girls doing a small tradition at the bride's. That's what makes a second crew the natural starting point.
3:30pm at St Charbel's, out by around five. September light is on our side — but the day flows tight, so we'll plan the photo window carefully to make the most of it.
300–350 guests at Rosebery Hall from six. A grand entrance worth capturing from two angles — behind you as you walk in, and on the floor as the room lifts.
A highlight that runs a touch longer than five minutes, the option of a Same Day Edit playing at the reception, and drone at the church and Georgia's backyard exit. We'll settle the long-edit depth together.
A printed album for the two of you, and one each for both sets of parents. Real, tangible keepsakes — not just files on a screen.
Georgia's leaning toward nature — greenery and water — kept close to the venue so we're not fighting the clock. The grounds around Rosebery give us exactly that.
Everything below is shaped around this — nothing generic, all built for your day.
The Flow of Your Day
A working shape of the day, so you can picture how it moves — we'll refine the finer timings together as we get closer.
Final timings and locations will be shaped together in your planning session.
Why Two Teams
With both of you getting ready at the same time in different suburbs, and a room of 300–350 to capture, a single crew can't be in two places at once. Here's how the two teams work.
With you, start to finish
One photographer and one cinematographer who stay with you from the morning right through to the last dance — around 11:30pm at the reception.
- Continuity across the whole day — one team who knows your story
- Even with a single cinematographer, we run two to three cameras for key moments like the first dance
The morning & the big moments
A second photographer and cinematographer so both homes are covered at once, then together for the church and photo session, and into the reception.
- Both getting-ready locations captured properly — no compromise, no rushing between them
- Your grand entrance from two angles — behind you as you walk in, and on the floor as the room reacts
- How far the second crew runs into the night is the difference between the collections below
You'll see three depths for that second crew across the collections — wrapping after the entrances, or carrying on through the speeches, cake and first dance.
Ways to Relive Your Day
Different edits do different things — some for sharing, some for sitting down years later and living the whole day again. Watch a real example of each.
Teaser Film
A 40–60 second cinematic glimpse of the day, delivered within two weeks — while everyone still wants to see it. Complimentary in every collection.
Highlight Film
A cinematic edit shaped around your music and the moments that matter most — runs a touch longer than five minutes, just as you're after. Style and pace settled together at your creative session.
Episode-Length Film
A 30–40 minute film that sits between a highlight and a full documentary — deeper than five minutes, more watchable than a three-hour edit. The one to put on with family.
Documentary Film
The day at real length — the morning traditions, the full ceremony, the speeches, the dancing. For reliving it all, not just the highlights.
Same Day Edit
A 4–5 minute film captured, cut and premiered on the night — playing on the big screen at your reception. Lachlan, this is the one you love watching.
Prewedding & Engagement Film
A relaxed session before the day — a chance to get comfortable on camera and for us to learn how you two are together, so nothing feels new on the wedding day.
A Full Wedding Gallery
Beyond the films, every edited image lands in a clean online gallery — full colour and black & white, searchable by face, yours forever. Here's a complete one to wander through.

You Experience Your Wedding Three Times
The day itself passes in a blur. What we make is built for all three of these moments — not just the one.
Before
In the planning, the anticipation, the imagining of it all. A pre-wedding session and the countdown are part of the experience — the excitement building toward the day.
The Day
Lived once, at full speed — the nerves, the vows, the room of 350 lifting as you walk in. Our job is to stay present and invisible so you can simply be in it.
For Life
Every time after — the gallery you scroll on an anniversary, the film your kids watch one day, the album your parents hold. This is where the real value lives.
Some moments reveal their value only with time. What feels like “just photos and video” today becomes the closest thing you have to being back there.
Let's Make It Yours
Lachlan and Georgia — it means a lot that you've come back to us after Paul & Samantha's day. That kind of trust isn't something we take for granted.
Have a proper read, sit with the three collections, and don't stress about landing on every detail. Nothing here is locked — we shape the final shape of it together, around your day and your budget. When you're ready, pick the option that feels right and we'll take it from there, or book a planning session and we'll map it out properly.
All final photo and video edits arrive in your private online gallery — accessible anytime, full download and sharing, searchable by face, and yours for as long as we're in business. RAW photo & video on a hard drive on top.
