Kym & Mike // cinematic wedding highlights

May 20th, 2011

Wedding Videography : Cinematography Brisbane

Kym and Mike organized me for their entire day – start to finish – and with the groom being a video professional I knew I had my work cut out for me. The day started with the preparations and Mike was already in his monkey suit by the time I got to him. He said he had planned it that way, but I think he was quite eager as well. Kym seemed a bit nervous when I arrived at the couples’ home a short while later, but everything went smoothly despite the tiny stresses that pop up on wedding days as they usually do.

The ceremony was held at St Brigid’s Catholic Church in Red Hill. I had just started filming the outside of the place when Mike and his groomsmen rocked up in their classic Charger. A great touch to the day (and you will see how much the groom loves that car in the clip!) After the service we headed to Roma Street Parklands for the location shoot and even though there were some sore feet at the end (including my own) we had a great time.

The reception was in the ballroom at Victoria Park Golf Complex just north of the city. With the couple being huge movie fans – each table had it’s own movie theme to it. One of the highlights of the night was the first dance as Kym & Mike strutted there stuff to ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ by the cast of the TV show Glee.

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.

Filmed with a Canon 5d Mk II
