Current Trends in Modern Wedding Videography

I have been involved in film and television for over 20 years and I am very excited about the current trends I am witnessing in wedding videography. I have always approached my wedding videography in a cinematic way, probably because of my documentary experience and I love creating what I call "the prickle factor". It's that inexplicable feeling you get when you watch something truly special that makes the hairs on the back of your neck tingle. I will look for these moments on your wedding day and film them even when you don't know I am. A subtle glance between wed husband and wife or a cheeky grin from a flower girl, I look for it, I film it.

Another semester completed at Randwick TAFE

I've been mentoring a very talented group of young filmmakers over Semester One as part of my film and television teaching commitments at Randwick TAFE. They have completed an amazing series of documentaries covering all aspects of day to day happenings at Randwick Racecourse. Riding shotgun mid course to film exciting starts and early morning trackwork sessions.

Many of my students have now qualified to move onto the next stage of their studies in screen and media and I'm looking forward to my next group of students when semester two kicks off.

Can't wait...

Testimonial - Natalie and Chris

Kirstie,

Your fantastic.....

I'm in love with my dvd's and have watched them over 10 times already. Julia was fantastic, she is meant to be in front of the camera, she is just a little actress, loves to perform.

My nephews told me today that they were sad, cos they want to do the wedding again, they loved watching it and i think now thats their favourite dvd.

Thanks for everything
NAT AND CHRIS

We love what we do and it shows in our productions...

Wedding Video Ideas from Videos by Kirstie


Kirstie spent 20 years in television while establishing herself as a professional wedding videographer.


In the February 2005 edition of Complete Weddings, the magazine chose to showcase 5 wedding videographers in a DVD to accompany every copy of the magazine. Our wedding videographer was selected to contribute to this DVD.


We believe that outstanding wedding videography need not cost a fortune but we also understand that every couple has their own ideas about the style of their wedding video, from skits and pre wedding scenario shoots to documentary and cinematic styles, we can do it all.


All footage is shot in high definition on the day to ensure optimum quality at no additional charge. The footage is then converted for Widescreen standard definition delivery or high definition quality is maintained throughout the editing process for High Definition delivery.


We were delighted to be accepted for entry into the United States based 2004 and 2005 Wedding and Event Videographers Awards with finals held in Las Vegas in each of these years.


We were chosen as a finalist in the video production category of the Australian Bridal Industry Academy (ABIA) Awards for 2007. We were finalists again in 2008 under he banner of Images of Life Photography and masterful photography of Pat Sganga. We are very proud of these achievements and of the support given to us by our clients. We have just been notified that we are a finalist in the ABIA Awards "Video Production" Category again this year and achieved Top 10 status. One of our weddings featured in the Sunday Telegraph Insider Section in 2007 as well.


In 2009, we are happy to be able to offer our clients a two camera package to catch even more of those special moments.


You can supply us with your favourite "bride and groom growing up" photographs for inclusion in a special montage to appear on your final video as a nostalgic introduction to your wedding day video at no extra charge.


Special wedding themed effects are inserted with ease along with music of your choice or ours.
A documentary style piece covering such questions as "How did you two meet?" and "How did he/she propose to you?" can also be prepared prior to the wedding day for a special video presentation during the reception.
