Robert & Rachel ~ their story

Posted in Wedding Gallery on August 20th, 2010 by RD

Tomorrow is Robert & Rachel’s wedding…can’t wait. From Sunbury, we will be covering a bit of distance going to Berwick for Rachel, Dandenong for Robert, St Dominic’s in Camberwell and back towards home with the reception at Lakeside in Taylor’s Lakes.

There will be lots of things happening and as Robert & Rachel are into motorbikes, it will be Dean’s challenge to get the GoPro camera on the bike. I’m sure it’ll prove to bring up some awesome footage.

So what’s their story? Well obviously their mototbikes are a key part, but Rachel & Robert also share a love of family. Joshua, their son, will be a central part of the day. Wth so many nieces & nephews in the bridal party, it was very obvious when we attended the rehearsal the closeness & importance of family. As their day hasn’t unfolded yet, I can’t tell you too much of the little things that will happen…you will have to wait and see :)

105 year old wedding video

Posted in Wedding Gallery on August 16th, 2010 by RD

 

I often hear or read from brides and grooms that they just want something to archive their wedding – that video isn’t important and that they may not watch thier wedding video more once, but want it anyway. It somewhat saddens me in hearing this. There is no doubt that an amazing photographer will capture so many parts of your day & you will treasurere it forever. However a film of your wedding can also be a priceless memory.

Through our network of colleagues, I’ve come across this beautiful piece that to me, validates what we do. Within the interview, the interviewee explains “what is so good about this film, is that you can see it floating…it’s living histroy”.

Michael & Amy ~ Same Day Edit

Posted in Wedding Gallery on July 21st, 2010 by RD

I have known Michael almost all of his life, and he was a terror, but an adorable one. Michael also can’t stop talking and certainly makes up for the quiet & gentle nature of Amy.

This year when I was looking for models for our February workshop, Michael & Amy jumped at the chance to participate. They were sure worked hard, but I think they also had an amazing experience. In working with them to plan the stories we would tell, it was easy for them to share – they knew what our goal was.

So the night before their wedding, we drove down to Seaford Melbourne, and prepared for their big day. As the day progressed the stories began to unfold. Michael had a surprise for Amy, & Amy for Michael. Michael’s gift was shared with Amy in the limousine after the ceremony & Amy walked out in her beautiful sari, moments before our presentation.

Dean & I are very lucky to have had the talented Troy Sheather from Encore Media & our new team member Clancy Jackson, to help on the day.

With the ceremony at St Anne’s Seaford with one of the coolest Priests I’ve met & the reception at Brighton International, enjoy the Same Day Edit of Michael & Amy.
