21 Apr 2009 Gina & Harry | Magic Moments

The magic moments clip we offer is something that’s becoming more and more popular with our couples when they see the power of what can be done. All of our packages include both full and highlight versions, but these clips are an added way of showcasing the day in a unique way.

A carefully chosen soundtrack is blended with the most emotive moments of the day - both visual + audio. Speeches, vows + readings are used as narrative tools to draw the viewer into the story and add another level of depth, meaning + experience. There’s usually a few light-hearted moments included too..!

Without further ado, here’s the magic moments clip from Gina & Harry’s wedding…

As always, comments welcome!

09 Apr 2009 Ali+Dave | Murwillumbah wedding
 |  Category: teasers, video, weddings  | Tags: ,  | 3 Comments

One of the great things about being involved with weddings is not only having the opportunity to share special moments with great couples, but also some of the amazing locations you get to go to that you would otherwise never know about. Ali & Dave’s wedding this past weekend was one such occasion…

Ali’s preparation was at the family home she’s grown up in - a property just out of Murwillumbah called ‘Morley’. An absolutely stunning location overlooking cane fields, with loads of natural light inside.

It had been teeming down with rain the days before and on the morning of the wedding, and although overcast most of the day, there was not a drop of rain in sight until the reception (that’s 2 wedding in a row :D )

Ali & Dave were married in a traditional Catholic ceremony held in the Sacred Heart church in Murwillumbah. Her sister Tori performed an amazing rendition of the Chantal Kreviazuk song, “Feels like home” - followed by a resounding round of applause from everybody present!

After photos at a couple of locations around Murwillumbah, we then headed back to the property for a marquee reception. What an entrance too, with Dave driving his new bride up to the waiting guests in a Fiat Bambino, no less!

Here’s the teaser from their wedding…Comments are very welcome!

05 Apr 2009 Mark+Jo | Byron Bay wedding

2 completely different weddings at the Byron Bay Surf Club just days apart from each other…

I had the honour over last weekend to capture Mark & Jo’s wedding. After preparing at Raes at Watego’s, Jo arrived fashionably late in a stretch Hummer - certainly got some looks from the locals!

It was a wonderful, emotional & quite quirky ceremony, with family members reading “I wanna be yours” by John Cooper Clarker (including Ford Cortina mention :D ) and also “The Owl & the pussycat”. Definitely both firsts for me!

I always find that each wedding has its own little piece of ‘magic’ that happens throughout the day but this day had more than its fair share…The weather was very close to turning ugly all day, going from bright sunshine one minute to dark cloud cover the next. Somehow it held off for every single important moment, with the heavens only deciding to open after the reception was well under way.

This is a video blog, but I can’t resist posting a few frame grabs from the footage…

Oh, to know what Jo had just said to Mark here:

And some amazing rays of light looking back towards Byron from the lighthouse:

Congratulations guys on a great day - I’ll have a short ‘ teaser’ online over the next couple of days
