I’m sure you’ve heard the spiel before, so I’ll spare you. But what I will tell you, is that I have been asked to be a wedding videographer (Brisbane) for many couples and I’d love to shoot yours.

I understand the wedding day is stressful and there’s a lot of costs associated with making your dream day come true.

What to expect in the wedding videography process
You’re busy, especially in the lead-up to a wedding! I’m flexible with how you would like to meet - maybe this is face-to-face, maybe it’s over a Zoom. You call the shots!
What I’ll be asking you in this consultation is some pretty easygoing questions, but they give me a deep insight into the type of couple you are and how I can tailor my wedding videography work to meet your expectations.
Often I’ll ask the most important question - what’s your favourite music? You might think that isn’t the most important thing to consider with wedding videography, but music tells us a lot about who we are and sets a tone for how you connect with art. Generally this question leads us to a range of topics that give me a clear idea of who you are, without the stuffy formalities of traditional wedding consults.
What we’ll be left with us a clear understanding of what you expect from your wedding video, and all the little things that are important for me capture.
What makes my wedding videography different?
Traditionally, wedding videography (Brisbane videography especially) follow a traditional structure. While these videos are nice to look at, your day is unique and you deserve a unique video.

Are you a photographer and wedding videographer (Brisbane)?
Part of what makes my wedding videography unique is that I am a dedicated videographer. Sure, I can take photos. However, for the best results I recommended a photographer and videographer are employed to capture your special day. If you’re looking for a photographer or need a recommendation, please contact me and I’ll be happy to recommended one of my trusted partner suppliers to work alongside me.
Can you put our favourite song in the video?
Every couple has a song that’s important to them. Maybe it was the ballad you walked down the aisle to, or the acoustic rendition of an 80s classic you danced your first dance to. Unfortunately however these songs can’t be used in your wedding film due to copyright issues.
Wedding film makers have copped big fines in the past for using copyrighted music, but most importantly uploading to any social media account will immediately flag the video and prevent you from being able to share with friends and family.
I have access to an extensive library of copyright free music in every style and genre you can think of which I incorporate into your wedding film.
Can I purchase the raw footage?
An average 8 hour wedding day anywhere between 2 and 4 hours of footage can end up being captured. This is culled down to the highlights short film and ceremony & speeches videos that you receive with your package.
While this might sound like there are hours of quality footage being left on the cutting room floor the reality is that what you are seeing has been carefully curated to best represent your day just as it was. Because I shoot my footage in high quality 10-bit 4k 50fps across up to 5 different cameras, the average wedding day will fill up to 500gb of storage space and for this reason is not practical to share
