Kara & Brad // Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast

October 22nd, 2010

How do you impress two friends who are in the wedding industry themselves, at the top of their game as photographers and have seen your work before and have worked with you?

You ask one of Australia’s finest cinematographer’s to help you out of course!

My good friend Daniel from No Limit Pictures, based near Sydney, was gracious enough to lend his time and talent for this shoot with me. I couldn’t help but be a bit nervous the night before wondering how it would all go. How the weather would be, how Dan and I would mix as shooters and adding the Master of Ceremonies to my list of duties for the day.

It all turned out perfectly!

Choosing the right song for each couple is one of the hardest choices I have before editing. Using a different song would completely alter how the story goes and how it is perceived. I knew Kara and Brad liked Bon Jovi especially since the groom was blasting it during his preparations.

If you watch carefully enough you will see things happen to the beat with a few natural segues. Marrying the footage between Dan and I was seamless at times which made the editing flow so well.

Of course the day was made possible with the help of some amazing professionals in the wedding industry:

Celebrant: Clarah Luxford
Makeup & Hair: Allure Professional Makeup & Hair (Julie & Kerryn)
Photobooth: Flash Functions
Wedding Singer: Elly Hart
Performers: Sex & Chocolate
Wedding venue: Royal Pines Resort
Flowers:  Divine Wedding Flowers

Congratulations Kara and Brad! I hope this will allow you to relive your day for years to come.

Nikki & Josh // If It’s Love

October 15th, 2010

The day began with me relaxing with the girls as they got ready at the Q1 building. Even though it was another rainy October day it wasn’t going to dampen anyone’s spirits as the girls laughed and enjoyed themselves.

I didn’t see the boys until I arrived at Arundel Hills Country Club where the weather forced the nuptials to be held inside. Josh was all smiles when I first saw him, but his emotions got the better of him when he saw Nikki walk down the aisle.

Celebrant Helen Murray conducted a beautiful ceremony which also involved the couples’ two children. After that we all braved the rain to get some footage around the grounds and Lauren from Lauren joy Photography was there for all the snaps.

The rain kept the golfers away but in their place came the kangaroos. I was lucky enough to capture two of them boxing and with the bridal party being mostly Kiwi’s they really had a blast watching their playful nature.

Amy & Richard // Just the Way You Are

October 14th, 2010

Amy & Richard were married at Broadway Chapel in Brisbane with their reception at Victoria Park Golf Complex.

Amy wore a stunning dress and I have to say this was such a fun bridal party to be around – as you may be able to tell with the antics of Thong, the best man! Actually outgoing may be an understatement.

After the ceremony we went to a local park near Mt Cootha to relax and have a small picnic. Our three photo locations included a small paddock (a secret spot), Southbank and the heart of Brisbane CBD where the couple stood in the middle of the busy pedestrian intersection at Edward & Adelaide Streets.  I had never been there before for a shoot and it looked amazing. We were there right on 5pm when everyone was coming out of work so we really got the best out of that spot.

Accompanying me were Todd & Alyda of Todd Hunter McGaw Photography.

The clip is viewable in HD if you have a strong Internet connection. Slower connections should let the video load before viewing. Please leave a comment below and let us know your feedback!

*The ceremony was officiated by Anne Campbell.

Brie & Trent // Hunter Valley – NSW

October 2nd, 2010

Wedding Videography : Cinematography Hunter Valley

I first met Brie and Trent a year ago April when I filmed her sister Amie’s wedding video on the Gold Coast. When Brie told me they would be traveling to the Hunter Valley for their big day I was of course thrilled at the opportunity. The Vintage served as the venue and it didn’t disappoint with a brand new chapel set among beautiful landscapes.

The photo locations led us around the immediate area including a nearby vineyard and a quick stop at the bride’s Uncle’s farm. The whole shoot was laid back and fun which shows in the clip. All in all it was an amazing day and one I was happy to be a part of.

Paul Mailath of Perbenyik Productions helped me out on this wedding video and you will see a few of his Steadicam shots towards the middle of the clip. The trailer is viewable in high definition by clicking the HD button in the playable window. Slower connections may need to let the content load before playing. For any brides out there watching this clip we even offer this for your IPhone and in HD as well!

Thanks and enjoy,

Keith & Heidi, Maine – USA

September 7th, 2010

Keith and I first met in college back in 1996 at Oswego State University. We both studied and worked in the same industry and have kept in touch over the years. So when he asked me to film his wedding I was of course honored to do so.

After a 20 hour flight from Australia and a 6 hour drive from New York I arrived in the state of Maine. A region of beautiful and untouched country landscapes providing the perfect setting for a wedding. The town of New Harbor is one of those typical, small American towns but blessed with panoramic ocean views and a famous lighthouse.

My day began there – filming the sunrise coming up over the Atlantic Ocean at 5am and followed by kayaking in Fossett’s Cove with Keith and a few of his mates. From there it was back to the Bradley Inn, where most of us were staying, to film the bride and groom getting ready. I can tell you it was a bit surreal watching a long time friend preparing for his big day.

The nuptials were held on a pier not far from the Inn with Heidi making her entrance by boat. I don’t think I have ever seen my friend cry, but when he started to get choked up during his vows he covered it up in typical Keith style.

This my first time using a Slider which you will see in a few shots in the earlier parts of the clip. The soundtrack by Keith Urban was also used as their first dance.

Thank you to Heidi & Keith for inviting me there to capture one of the happiest days in your lives. I wish you both nothing but the best in the many years ahead.

- Geoff

Jasmine & Robert, wedding highlights

June 16th, 2010

I was really looking forward to this wedding shoot and, after meeting up with Jasmine a week before over coffee, I was even more so. She had me excited about what the day as well and I knew it would be perfect. This was only the second time I have filmed at the The Southport School Chapel and what a setting it was for a ceremony.

The rain stayed away and the sun stayed around long enough for me and photographer Derek Smith (who makes a cameo) to get some stunning shots. We had Jasmine spin in her wedding dress near a colorful tree and when a certain tiny guest joined in the fun it made for a magical moment. The candid shots I captured during the photo session really shows off their personalities and is what my style is all about.

Allure did the girls hair and makeup and they are brilliant. Check out their site here.

Both you and Derek were almost invisible and it is unbelievable to think that you have produced such a wonderful memory without being in our face. Thank you. And I can't wait to see the final product. Jazzie, you were SO beautiful! Cheers, Heather. (June 16, 2010 - 8:28 pm)

Sandra & Jaydem // An Island Hideaway

April 19th, 2010

“Wow, wow, wow!!! Geoff, thank you SO MUCH for the brilliant job you did. We can’t stop smiling!!! You are every bit the genius we knew you would be. Thanks for getting our little baby in there too! We can’t wait to see what magic you work with our video! Thank you so much!” – Sandra & Jaydem

Sandra & Jaydem were a wonderful couple and I had so much fun time capturing such an important day in their lives.  It all started out early with the girls as they made the preparations at a unit in Southport while the boys did what they do best by sitting around, watching footy and having a cold one at the couples’ place in Oxenford.  As soon as I walked in I noticed Sabre, their pet Bull Mastiff and I couldn’t leave without getting some playful shots of him.

The ceremony and reception was on South Stradbroke Island hosted by An Island Hideaway.  Where owners Bennie & Michelle always host a great wedding event.  Photographers Grant and Kathy from Ashford Studio flew up from Sydney to take the snaps and despite the fact this was our first time working together we gelled perfectly.  The sunset provided a sensational backdrop for the last few minutes with the bridal party before dark and I was able to film a few amazing moments on the beach.

The subjects "pop" with the narrow depth of field you have chosen. Very creative. You are an artist and your work shines. These are very special memories that only video can capture...

Amanda & David // Colonial Golf Course, Gold Coast

April 10th, 2010

I think it would be tough for a couple to make any easier for me. When I met up with Amanda & David a few weeks before the wedding I knew it was going to be a fun event. Both of them were so at ease and laid back, but the emotions on the day were running quite high and it was hard not to get wrapped up in the atmosphere.

Colonial Golf Course in Robina was the setting and celebrant Karen Miles conducted the ceremony. I seem to be running into Karen a lot these days and she performed a brilliant service with the personal touch she brings. The couple laughed and smiled throughout the entire nuptials and must have stole more than a few kisses but saved the best for when it counted.

Amanda & David’s fun-loving nature can really be seen at the reception, but I won’t spoil it for anyone.
