SHELIA & JAMES // A Joining of Familes

Peter — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:30:27 +0000

In the background of a busy Friday afternoon in the city, there was two families meeting and sharing afternoon tea in the prestigious Langham Hotel. This is where we saw how important family was to Sheila and James. This moment was the joining of two families and although many were meeting??for the first time, their was an air of warmth and love in the room which would lead to a beautiful and intimate wedding day on the Saturday.

On a bright Autumn day, James was hanging out with the boys and in a fairly relaxed mood to get going with the ceremony but there was still a little bit of nerves. Sheila on the other hand was getting right into the day, full of smiles and having a bit of good time getting the dress on. ?As the ceremony evolved, it was full of laughter and teary eyes.

By the end of the day Emily and I felt like we were part of their family. The sentiments and descriptions of what their family were saying of how generous and caring Shelia and James are we witnessed first hand. Their love not only important to them, but this love extends to their families and to who ever they meet.

CHAREM & LEVENT // A day of celebration

From the moment Charem appeared at the top of the steps, no one noticed the weather – least of all Levent. The dark clouds that had threatened all day had final burst open with rain right before the ceremony was to start, but nothing could dampen the mood of joy and romance as Charem and Levent married each other in the garden of Ascot House.

Despite the lack of sunshine, the day was bright with fun and excitement, from the groom arriving in the morning to claim his bride, right up to the moment at the end of the reception when they clasped each others hand and ran through a sea of cheering guests into a waiting car.

The song and this highlight remind us that the real sunshine in our life comes from those around us who brighten our lives with their warmth and love.

A WEEK OF EDUCATION & HISTORY IN THE MAKING

In the past week I have been attending a huge event both for my self but also for the industry. I had the pleasure of being part of the organising team for Exposed Down Under – which was a conference for wedding filmmakers for the first time ever in Australia. The aim was to bring together around 50 producers around the country and internationally and invite some of the best wedding film makers around the globe to present various things covering both from the business side and the production side.

To us it is very important that we continually evolve and ensure that we are at the top of our game but also to strengthen our industry and give the opportunity to educate and make new connections. During the event I had the lucky task of blogging (www.exposeddownunder.com.au) and also capturing some footage which then I had only a few hours to put together to be shown on the same day. It makes me feel proud to have been part of it and also to make something for us to remember by.

Making Waves Around the Globe

I wanted to share that we’ve recently had some wonderful recognition internationally. Madalyn and Chean’s trailer has been featured this month on “Wedding Filmmaker Awesomeness” on WedFACT (Wedding Filmmakers Alliance of Creative Talent). WedFACT is an online forum where some of the best wedding filmmakers across the globe come together to promote growth for both individual filmmakers and the greater industry and and it really inspires us to continually push the envelope. Click on the image below:

We have also been featured on the RNG35 website. They make the adapter that we use in our Film Maker package Add-On and are very happy with the results we have been getting. It was a lovely surprise to find Samantha and Emir’s trailer has been featured as Clip of the Week. Click here to have a look what he had to say about our work.
