The Experience
WITH FILMS BY ED
What is it like having me with you on the day?
My goal is to capture your day as it unfolds, your way. I want to capture the most authentic, fun, and beautiful moments I can for you. But I’m really not all about the posed and perfect. In fact, I really cherish building relationships with couples so that I can capture your story through the soulful, messy, and real love. I’m at my best when I work quietly and inconspicuously, blending into the background so that I can capture the moments that are real, genuine, and yours…no posing, no pushing, no parading. Just you.
Things I deeply care about
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
-
A beautiful shot is one thing, but a beautiful moment is an entirely different thing. Don’t get me wrong, I love capturing things that are gorgeous and aesthetic. But at the end of the day, my focus isn’t just about how your wedding looked, it’s how it felt. That’s why I love capturing your day naturally as it unfolds. Letting you be yourselves, being as unobtrusive as possible and capturing real moments that are meaningful to you. I’m passionate about crafting films that take you back in time to cherish those heartfelt and honest moments.

Being filmed ain’t easy, let alone by someone you don’t know. So I'd love to get to know you and your story and for you to get to know me and mine. I won't pretend to be your best friend, but I'm sure should our paths cross - we'll be friends for years to come. On the wedding day itself, I won't just be turning up and hitting record. I’ll be in your corner, cheering you on, giving you nothing but good vibes, supporting you in any way I can.

Your wedding is all about you, not about the wedding film. So although I’m working to capture your day - all I really want is for you to have a good time. Wedding films are basically time travel. So when you get transported back in time to those moments, my aim is for you remember how much fun you had, how comfortable you felt, and how great it was to celebrate your big day together. Not how many times that pesky cameraman told you to pose or pretend (Lord knows I’ve been there).
Every story can be seen. I want you to remember how it felt.
FAQs
-
Film duration ranges from around 3 minutes to 6 minutes depending on which package you get. If you want more ceremony or reception moments, you have the option to extend your film.
-
Depending on what package and add-ons you've chosen, you can expect to receive your wedding film from around 4 months from your wedding day. These times can vary depending on peak seasons.
-
Yup! I have an All Additional Films add-on that includes fully-edited, full-length films of the bigger parts of your day (vows, sermon, speeches, first dance etc).
-
Sure can! The raw footage add-on includes every shot from the day in its unedited glory. The cost of the raw footage add-on is $400, or $230 if you're able to provide your own hard drive.
-
On average, about 10 hours works pretty well. But it really depends on what your day looks like and how much you've got going on. If you've got something really special happening in the morning or have an epic reception exit, you might want to add on some hours to make sure that gets captured. I'm happy to give more specific guidance on this when we tee up a time to chat through things. At the end of the day, it's totally your call.
-
If your wedding goes for more than 1 day, we can look at splitting your package hours over the two days for a flat fee of $250 per additional day. However, we cannot provide split coverage for one day.
-
Absolutely! If you want to extend your coverage or change the add-ons to your package, that's not a problem. Your final invoice will be adjusted accordingly. Add-ons cannot be included after the wedding day (except for raw footage).
-
I'm based in Sydney, Australia. So for weddings in Sydney, there are no travel costs. But if they're outside of Sydney then there will likely be some costs. It all depends on whether or not we need to stay the night. But we can chat about that during our call.
-
Yes please! For weddings with coverage over 6 hours, a crew/vendor meal is required for each team member.
-
I've worked with and am happy to recommend a lot of great photographers, but I work really closely with Jess Le who is amazing at what she does. We share very similar creative eyes and offer some pretty sweet deals if you’d like to book both of us. Combo packages start from $5000.
Connection is key
The better I know you as a couple, the better I am at capturing your story. I’d love to connect with you, grab a coffee and chat to talk about you, your story and your wedding, and also let you get to know me. Since I only take around 15 weddings a year, seeing if we are a good fit for each other, is an important step. Bottom line, you deserve to have a filmmaker that you jive with to capture one of the biggest days of your life!
