I recently setup a table at a local bridal expo and it was interesting to talk with couples as they passed by. Many had not even considered getting a wedding video done. For those who were interested it was a lot of fun discussing the various video packages available and watching their enthusiasm grow. It’s one thing to book a wedding videographer to capture the events of your wedding day, but it’s another to be aware of certain things which [...]

Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some fantastic wedding photographers. But what is it that makes a wedding photographer ‘fantastic’. Well in my opinion it comes down to two main things. Technical skills – this one is obvious. The ability to use one’s camera effectively is paramount. People skills – maybe not so obvious? Super important though. Read on below. So you might have the worlds best technical photographer at your wedding but unless they are [...]
As a wedding videographer, I am always glad when I arrive at the reception for its when everyone can relax, let their hair down and enjoy the food and drink (unless you are giving a speech!). Of all the official events that occur during a wedding reception, I’d have to say my favourite is the bridal waltz and the dancing in general because occasionally, the choreography (or lack thereof) can easily make it the highlight of the evening. So let’s [...]
I’m often asked how I go about producing wedding videos. So here is some information for those who are interested about the gear I use and how I use it. Here’s a list of the equipment that I use. Cameras Sony Z1. I’ve been using the Z1 for about 5 years now. It’s my ‘old faithful’. This is my main camera during a wedding ceremony. I usually mount it on tripod with a clear view of the bride and groom [...]
I’m really looking forward to 2012. Aside from that fact that I really like ‘even’ numbers, 2012 will be the (lucky) 7th year of service for my wedding videos business. It all started back in 2004 when I bought my first video camera and filmed my sister’s wedding. It was my wedding gift to her and not only did I enjoy the filming and editing process, I had immense satisfaction knowing that I had contributed to her wedding day by [...]
I had some great feedback today from a bride who told me that she was even more pleased with her wedding video than she was with the wedding photos! Now that means a lot to me. She also spoke of how her husband was initially not keen on the idea of having a wedding video and he didn’t want to spend the money on having one produced. Yet now that he has seen the finished product, she said he was really [...]
Wedding videos have become more popular than ever before in recent years and I do believe its thanks to video equipment not only providing stunning high definition quality but also becoming a lot more financially accessible to the masses. For example, around 5 years ago I purchased a second hand Sony HVR-Z1 video camera for $4.5k. The Z1 shoots in 1080i format. This year, I purchased a Canon 60D which shoots full 1080p format for just over $1.5k. The Canon [...]
I love this time of year. Summer in Queensland means BBQ’s with friends and family, relaxing by the pool or at the beach or perhaps staying inside with the A/C on high because it is so HOT outside!

Special Summer prices for Winter weddings! Receive 15% discount on [...]

At 11.11am, on the 11th day of the 11th month, 2011, Melissa & Craig’s wedding ceremony began on the beach at Stradbroke Island. Only a couple hours earlier, my wife and I had arrived on the island and we started our day by shooting some bride and groom preparation footage before heading to the beach to meet with friends and family. Melissa and Craig’s ceremony was one of the nicest beach ceremonies I have filmed in a while. Although it [...]
Kate & Steve were married in August at the Our Lady of Victories Church, Bowen Hills and their reception was held at Brisbane’s Greek Club. I began the shoot with Kate and her bridesmaids at her house as they finalized their hair and make-up and of course the wedding dress and accessories. Then there was time for a quick photo session before I headed to the church to meet Steve and his groomsmen. A traditional catholic ceremony was soon underway [...]
