19 Apr 2010 Alana and Mark | 6 days of silence
 |  Category: magic moments, video, weddings  | Tags: , , ,  | 3 Comments

“6 days of silence”? What a strange name for a blog title.

Alana and Mark’s was a great wedding, with a fantastic couple all highlighted by a wonderful speech by the new “Mr.” It was an opportunity too good to pass up.

Enjoy the story of their day…

18 Mar 2010 Jade & Danny | Gold Coast magic moments

They bring me to you.

After recently debuting Jade & Danny’s teaser a short while ago, I’m so excited to premiere their magic moments. It was a super stylish wedding with so many great moments - all punctuated by some incredible speeches.

J & D are a great couple that were so relaxed through the day, genuinely going with the flow and not letting anything bother them. The end result was quite simply the perfect wedding. Not to be outdone though were a few surprise guests at the end of the night that came along to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The magic moment clips are the perfect addition to any package and my favourite of all edits. The essence of the day is carefully cut together with beautiful imagery to form a deep, engaging & concise narration.

With lots of exciting things in the pipeline, including a new business venture, these guys are in for an incredible life together.

Enjoy the story of their day…

17 Jan 2010 Gemma & Grant | magic moments

The magic moments clip from Gemma & Grant’s beautiful Evan’s Head combined wedding/naming day from late 2009

A few random facts…

They both share the exact same initials: GTM
Their first Christmas together they unknowingly bought each other the exact same present - a pair of Simpsons boxers shorts
They both wore the boxers on the day - they were Gemma’s ’something blue’
They have 2 gorgeous kids - Will and Summer
They have an incredible love for each other.

27 Nov 2009 John & Barbara | a wedding 73 years in the making
 |  Category: magic moments, video, weddings  | Tags: , ,  | One Comment

Something very special to share with this post.

At the end of October I had the pleasure of capturing my Uncle John’s wedding to his sweetheart Barbara in Manilla, NSW (about 30 minutes out of Tamworth). He’s 73 years old  (and to think some people thought it’d never happen!)

One of the advantages of getting married later in life that I hadn’t considered is being able to include descendants and relatives in the celebrations. Barbara’s 2 bridesmaids were her daughter and granddaughter - first time I’ve ever heard of 3 generations being in a bridal party and obviously very special.

My Uncle John has always been a natural performer, so to reflect this the edit has a quirky doco feel to it, with touching moments mixed with some humourous ones.

Here are the highlights. Enjoy.

The ‘phantom’  paint on the car is a reference to the reputation he’s developed over the years at the many, many family weddings he’s attended, where bridal cars would get mysteriously ‘decorated’ by an unknown someone…

Pretty excited about sharing this clip. It’s the magic moments from Nic & Mel’s Maleny wedding. If you missed the original blog entry for their wedding, check it out here.

Although there were many, many beautiful aspects to choose from Nic & Mel’s wedding, there were 2 that I particularly wanted to focus on to enhance and add depth to the story of their day.

The first was the fact that Mel was wearing the same dress her Mum had worn 27 years ago - quite amazing - and the second were the beautiful, heartfelt words that Nic used in his speech to his new wife. Both have been used in combination to narrate this gorgeous piece. Enjoy!

As always, comments welcome!

23 Jul 2009 Brett & Haylee | magic moments

Not sure what it is with best men these days but they’re definitely delivering some knockout speeches.

In between a little friendly roasting (including a couple of the funniest mates stories I’ve come across), Brett’s best man Mike said some of the nicest things I’ve ever heard between a best man and a mate. I knew the moment they came out of his mouth that his words were going to be a perfect fit for their magic moments clip.

Here’s the magic moments clip from Brett and Haylee’s gorgeous Brisbane wedding.

As always, comments welcome…

19 May 2009 Ali & Dave | Magic Moments

Another magic moments clip to share, this time from Ali & Dave’s April wedding in Murwillumbah.

Rather than narrate it with their vows or speeches, I used a portion of Dave’s best man’s speech. His words were so powerful and were a perfect fit for this edit.

I love this clip and really believe it captures the true essence of both Ali & Dave and their day.

As a side note, I also think Ali’s smile has enough energy to power a small city :)

Thanks again guys for allowing me to be a small part of your special day. It was truly an honour.

As always - comments welcome!
