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 John and his team are absolutely the best they captured my daughters wedding and they are the best people in the business fun,friendly,professional they made the day so stress free and fun highly recommend cinemotive to anyone planning a wedding thankyou Christina Tsolakki13. 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. Sarah Hanna7. April, 2024 The team at cinemotive are absolutely amazing. They are professional, caring and so fun to work with! The photos they captured from our wedding were exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend them to anyone getting married. Maria Papathomas1. December, 2023 To John, and the lovely men we worked with on our wedding day - Gabriel, Raj, Mickey and Hardy. Thank you all so very much for being a part of our special day last Saturday! We truly could not have asked for a better group of people to work with. You are all amazing. John, the pre wedding shoot was a blast and you really made Gary and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera which we loved so much! Gabriel, Raj, Mickey and Hardy - both Gary and I had such a great time working with you from morning till night. You were so friendly, easygoing and upbeat. We felt super comfortable around you and forgot all the cameras were around and just relaxed and enjoyed the moments. The boys were so professional and efficient, we know the weather wasn’t the best but they kept us at ease and powered through. From the lead up to the wedding we couldn’t fault a thing, nothing was too much of an ask. By the end of our wedding night the boys felt like a part of the family! The whole experience was just wonderful. John and the boys at Cinemotive - you are incredible and we could not be any happier! Excited to see the final product! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Gary and Maria xxx Aymen Nemz15. November, 2023 The absolute best to work with. All the way from the first consultation/meeting to the big day.
