Stillmotion Workshop Day ZERO

February 22, 2010 – 1:44 pm

So we are so pleased that this week has come, which we had been waiting for almost a year. It is going to be an amazing 3 days of the Stillmotion Experience. These guys are truly some cool film makers who taken wedding video to a level that is true film making. They are offering workshops around the world and through their workshop challenge all of us to push our selves and get the best out of what we do.

So tonight was just a short get together where we had a chance to have a bit of meet and greet, and already I have learned plenty and even more pumped.

I am so super excited to find out what the next 3 days brings us.

Vivien and Joshua’s Wedding

February 21, 2010 – 1:47 am

I love how Chinese tea ceremonies give the parents and other family members a chance to really be involved in the wedding. They can take a moment to bless the couple and give them words of love and encouragement, it is such a great tradition to have part of weddings. Plus the beautiful reds and golds, the offerings and the incense really add to the sense of culture and history that these couples are part of.

Josh & Vivien’s was one such wedding. With two tea ceremonies, a civil ceremony, a drive out to Emerald Lake and a nine course reception dinner, they were in for a big day, but both of them were so relaxed for the start and ready to enjoy each moment. Although Josh may have felt the pressure when Vivien’s bridesmaid’s set him a tough challenge before he was allowed to enter the house!

I must say a special Thank You to Josh & Vivien for including us in the nine course dinner, we were very spoilt to be able to try shark fin soup, quail and lobster and it really made us feel part of their wedding day. :)

Hope you guys enjoy the highlight.

Jaye & Xavier: Save the Date

February 3, 2010 – 10:16 am

A week ago I finally got to shoot this save the date which I’d been planning for a while, I have been looking for new ways to shoot these short and sweet videos to capture even more of our couples personalities, and what awesome and perfect couple Jaye and Xavier was for this! To introduce them, they are massive Pearl Jam fans and I mean real fans. Pearl Jam recently did a tour around Australia and they went to almost every one of their concerts, and it didn’t finish there, then they hoped over to New Zealand to see them one more time – pretty cool!!  On top of that they love music with a passion. So I came up with a concept that would incorporate both their wedding planning and also Pearl Jam. I am so glad we finally got to shoot it as I have been itching to get this on tape. So I won’t ramble on any more, and cheers for Jaye and Xavier letting me get creative :) Hope you guys enjoy it!
