SAMANTHA & GAVIN // A FAMILY AFFAIR

When we met Samantha and Gavin last year to book their wedding film, they had one important request – please try and film our teenage kids enjoying the day! You would think it wouldn’t be too hard a task since all four were in the bridal party, but the as you will see in the highlight we had to do some stealth filming to capture the boys!

Our day started visiting Samantha where she was getting ready at their family home, and she couldn’t have been a more relaxed bride!  However, just down the road at the beautiful Barwon Grange historic house the scene was a little more hectic, with Gavin and the boys rushing around to get the ceremony location decorated in time,

Everyone gathered on the lawn to witness the loving and emotional vows exchanged by Samantha and Gavin and afterward family and friends descended on Sailors’ Rest at the Geelong Waterfront, to enjoy a wonderful evening of fun, food and laughter, with Samantha & Gavin topping off the night with a original musical melody wedding dance!

Sam & Gav have enjoyed a relaxing honeymoon sans kids in Thailand, but I know they are keen as mustard to see some footage of their wedding day so we are pleased to be able to give them their highlight a little early and hope it is a good appetizer to the main film feast which is still to come!

LAUREN & DARREN // A VINTAGE WEDDING

Lauren and Darren were super easy going and just reveled the day this in turn made it such a fun time shooting which really helped as  I was shooting solo which was a little scary as I hadn’t shot solo for quiet a while.  I really liked the vintage theme throughout from the dress to the cool low rider.

I gotta mention Paul from Icon Pictures again as he picked some awesome locations which really suited the whole feel of the day and I know Lauren and Darren were really happy with the images he captured.

I wish all the best to you guys and thanks for letting me being there to capture your day!

Some favorite images from the day

Vivien and Joshua’s Wedding

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.

Rebecca & David Highlight

Last night we dropped off the final DVD’s to Rebecca and David as an early Christmas present. It was wonderful catching up with them again, and just like they were on their wedding day they were so welcoming and excited to see us! We are really proud of this wedding film and were thrilled to receive a thank you message after they watched the DVD last night – it’s those moments that we remember we love what we do!

So, I now have the pleasure of presenting to you Rebecca and David’s highlight. It was such a pleasure to be part of their day and I really wanted their highlights to capture the love and spirit of the joining of not only Rebecca and David, but their families as well. It truly a wonderful day full of family, friends and lots of smiles!

Also we would like to wish a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year to everybody.

Enjoy

Peter.

Madalyn & Chean Highlight

We had the pleasure of filming Madalyn and Chean’s wedding earlier this year, and now we are able to share their highlight. This was one epic shoot with 2 tea ceremonies, western ceremony and a Cambodian ceremony and then to finish of the day with a full dance routine. They had a blast and we had a great time with them capturing their day.

Lauren & Darren Trailer

Been a while since we posted, here is a little sneak peak from Lauren and Darren’s wedding I shot in November. It was a beautifully vintage themed wedding and Lauren really went all out from the dress to the bus. I really enjoyed working with Paul from Icon Pictures who took beautiful images and I am sure that Lauren and Darren will be wrapped with his photos.

I’ll post more about the day when we put up the highlight.

Sarah & Marcus // Save the Date 22-05-2010

While on our winter break to Port Douglas Peter was keen to try out our new toy the Panasonic GH1 and luckily for us my newly engaged sister and my soon-to-be brother-in-law were not hard to convince to be our test subjects! It was a beautiful day on Four Mile Beach and we had fun playing around in the sun. Check out the results in the fun and sexy save the date!

Kim and Michael Highlight

We have the pleasure of presenting Kim and Micheal’s wedding highlight. The day was perfect for a garden wedding at Rippon Lea Estate and allowed us to capture their day beautifully. They were so happy together enjoying the family and friends around them. In this highlight I wanted to capture the love that was between them and represent their happiness that we also saw in their save the date video.
