Where are you based?

I am based 30 mins south of Wollongong, a place called Shellharbour.

My partner is shy in front of a camera, how will that work on video?

The way I film depends on your personality, usually you won't even notice me as I let the photographer lead and get the shots i need from a distance.

What do you include in the extended version?

Depending on the package selected, this includes but not limited to, the end to end ceremony, reception formalities such as bridal party entrance, speeches, cake cutting and waltz.

Do you keep in contact with us throughout the lead up to our wedding?

Yes, I actually recommend that you follow me on Facebook/Instagram so you can learn a little more about me. I always make contact 4 weeks prior to your wedding, just to confirm details and see how things are going. A day before the wedding, I'll give you guys a quick call to say hello (or send a quick email) and let you know that I'll be there.

Why do I need to leave a booking fee?

By leaving a booking fee, it secures your date which means I will not take any bookings for your chosen date. As some dates (especially in September, October and November) are high in demand a booking fee is required and can be made in cash or direct deposit. Once I have received the funds, I'll send you an email to confirm that your deposit has been received and your date is secured.

What do you believe makes a good wedding video/film?

I believe what makes a good wedding video/film is the story of the couple in it, to keep it real and candid, have true emotions of the day form laughter, tears and joy. Besides that, filming technique and post production skills are required. Also audio is very important, as a backup we always organise a line out that records from a PA system for the speeches or mic up the groom to give us clear audio such as the vows. During the speeches it may be dark so we bring self standing lighting to give a clearer crisp image

Are you a fully insured and registered business?

Phamily productions is fully registered and I have $20 million in public liability. I also pay an annual license with amcos/aria for private use of music. All my software is licensed.

How do you work with other photographers?

I love working alongside photographers. I usually let the photographer lead on the day while i get my shots from a distance. However, I love working alongside people who I can bounce ideas off and also have fun with!

How long does it take to get the finished product?

It takes 10 to 14 weeks, as I prioritise my workload from other weddings to complete. Video takes longer than photos to edit as it involves different editing techniques. In addition I do everything myself from initial conversations to editing.

Why should I consider making initial contact to book you for my day?

Firstly check out my website, Instagram, read my reviews and shop around before you see me. I do this full time and enjoy what I do. From the feedback from couples, they have told me that I have a good sense of humor, not too serious and professional manner from start to finish. I would love to have a chat, there is no pressure to book. If you feel like you connect with my work, I would be so honored to be able to be part of and film your wedding.
