Kane & Anna travelled from their home in Dubai to the picturesque alpine town of Hanmer Springs to be wed, and their wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. Surrounded by lush green forests and the chorus of native birds, our newlyweds escaped for a stroll amongst the most magical scenery before joining family & friends at the Heritage hotel for an amazing banquet and a huge party with their favourite DJ who had flown in from Auckland.

Hey Craig,
We have just watched the vid mate!!! We both love it. Excellent work getting the Jager bombs in!!! You boys truly do know how to work your magic. Many thank once again.” – Kane & Anna

It was a snowy New Years Eve in New York when Patric got down on one knee while on a romantic horse & carriage ride through central park and asked Kendall to be his bride. Kendall once thought Patric was far from romantic, but when the occasion arises, he can definitely impress.

Their wedding day was no exception. Kendall fell completely in love with a relaxed bohemian look and style, which is why they chose to have their ceremony in a circle on the edge of lake Hayes, completely surrounded by their loved ones while a canopy of branches created a raw, organic look. Kendall flew interstate from Queensland to Sydney over the course of 9 months to custom create a breathtaking gown with Leah De Gloria, which to this day is the only wedding dress she ever tried on.

We call this film “Treasure our quirky love”. Congrats on being amazing on your wedding day Paddy & Kendall!

Here’s what Kendall & Paddy had to say after watching this wedding film :
OMG CRAIG IT SO SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! Totally in love with it and seriously just cried watching… We both couldn’t be happier!!! Thanks you so much xx” – Kendall & Patric

As a little girl, Lisa had always dreamed of getting married in a castle in Ireland, and Stoneridge Estate captured that feeling perfectly with its rustic wood and stone walls. It was the perfect location to get married — set above the breathtaking and inspiring Queenstown landscape, surrounded by amazing backdrops of magnificent snow-capped mountains. And knowing the scenery would’nt disappoint, our groom Chris set about writing the one of the best speeches we’ve ever heard, putting feelings into words that left his new wife speechless. 

Here’s what Chris & Lisa had to say after watching this wedding film :
 Hey Craig!

Thank you so much for sending through the video, we love it! Breathtaking. We’ve watched it many times over already.It was such a pleasure to meet you and Mark, and to have you both as part of our day. You are both so lovely! Every time I caught a glimpse of you guys, you were capturing everything with a great smile. You are both incredibly skilled at your craft and it truly shines in the video you’ve created. Thank you for including Chris’s speech, it meant so much and he did so well both writing and reading it – it was a great highlight of the evening for me. I really appreciate the way you’ve matched the video at all the key points of Chris’s and my father’s speech. Your editing is fantastic. Loving the music choice; it complements the video perfectly.

Thank you for capturing the stunning Queenstown landscape; it’s the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Thanks for all the special moments that you’ve captured of our friends & family. The way you’ve captured the atmosphere of the whole wedding day and evening brought back every great feeling of the day. The day goes by far too quickly; it’s lovely to look back and enjoy everything again, seeing the happy faces of those closest to us and all the unseen moments that are now so special. Thank you so much for capturing all the greatest moments; somehow you knew all the ones that were most important to us – you guys are magic!

Cannot thank you both enough for the stellar job you’ve done. This video will be treasured always until the end of our days.
” – Lisa & Chris

Erin was bursting with excitement to get married to her groom David, and on her wedding day it really showed.  After a quiet ‘first look’ on the pier at New Brighton where they got to share an intimate first moment together, we joined them in celebrating their wedding at West Eyreton Hall, and joining their lives together.

Here’s what David & Erin had to say after watching this wedding film :
Thanks so much guys!!! We love it. Dave went into analytical mode…. its nice lighting and the music is good and the sound quality is really good…. i was trying to hold back the tears at hearing our vows again and getting to relive the magic of the day. Thanks so much for capturing so beautifully our special day!!! ” – Erin

Sophie & Jono travelled to sunny Nelson to tie the knot. The creative pair found  Old St John’s church turned ‘concert venue’ for their ceremony, then headed to the stunning Maitai River together before sharing a meal and an evening of laughter, tears and dancing at The Boatshed with their close friends and family.

This video captures Sophie and Jono’s personalities, their special traits and relationships with loved ones and most importantly their sense of togetherness and love for one another forever. On a day that seems to fly by, this video provides memories of the speeches, special glances, joy and elation of their precious day. Congratulations and good luck for the rest of your adventure together.

Here’s what Jono & Sophie had to say after watching their film:
“Wow!! You guys are incredible! We are both absolutely blown away by the video and we couldn’t be happier. It was such an amazing day, filled with plenty of laughs, love and tears surrounded by friends and family. One that we wont forget in a hurry. This video not only captures the emotion of the day but manages to recreate it as you watch it. Seemingly impossible to fit the whole day into a tiny clip! But you did it! It is way more than what we ever expected and cannot wait to share with all of our friends and family.

We truly appreciate everything that you all have done for us and it was a pleasure being able to share it with you all. You all went over and above what we could have ever imagined in not only capturing the day but understanding us. The photos, videos and backing music are such an amazing reflection of this! We are so grateful for the experience alone to work together! Thank you so much!” — Jono & Sophie
