What you can expect from me

as your Melbourne elopement videographer

Creating an amazing wedding film just for you is important to me, but making sure you have an amazing experience on your wedding day is just as important! I’m not here to turn your elopement into a movie set. I’m here to capture your important moments, tell your story, and show you at your best.

The perfect combination of memories & feelings

No couple is the same, which means no film I make is the same! You get a personalised creation that celebrates you, your day, and your priorities.

Love dancing? Let’s plan an intimate first dance after your ceremony.

Love travelling? Send me your holiday home movies and I’ll work those into your film.

Love staying home together? We could do an at-home story session before your elopement.

Whatever you’re into, I want to capture it.

Dude, same. But all you have to do is be yourselves and enjoy the day you've planned. I'll help you feel comfortable with the camera and when you get to relive all the feelings from your elopement, you'll be so glad to have these moments captured forever.

Help! What if we're awkward?

"We can’t thank you enough for being a part of our special day. Ryan even said although he was apprehensive about being recorded, he was really happy with the final outcome. We both were."

-Rebecca

"Thank you so much!!! This is so beautiful. It made me cry getting to relive the ceremony.

It was so great getting to work with you."

-Joe

Think of an engagement session with a photographer, but for video! We get to know each other better before your elopement and get some more footage of the two of you together for your film. It adds so much extra depth and flavour to your film and lets us tell more of your story.

FAQ

Do you film big weddings too?

Where are you located and where do you film?

I do not! From the beginning, elopements and micro-weddings have been my specialty. I love true elopements with no guests at all, and I love tiny wedding with just your closest people celebrating with you. While I don't have a hard and fast rule, I find small weddings under 15 guests to be the sweet spot.

A fun middle ground is a private elopement ceremony with a bigger celebration the next day. So many options when you elope!

I am based in Melbourne, Australia. I film all over Australia and even overseas! I got my start filming elopements in the USA and now I'm very happy staying close to Australia. I take limited bookings to make sure every couple I work with gets my full attention and support in the lead up to their elopement.

Current bucket list locations: QLD's Sunshine Coast, NZ South Island, a country Victoria getaway elopement.

How much does it cost?

Can we choose the music in our film?

The short answer is no. The long answer is that I use music I can licence and legally distribute, so you won't hear popular songs in your film. I'll get to know your music taste and the styles you love and hate so I can choose pieces that compliment your day and your story. Think more of a movie soundtrack that supports the story than a music video, if that makes sense.

Collections start at $3,200. Each collection is crafted personally for you after hearing your wants and needs for your elopement.

WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM ME:

All collections include:

Exclusive elopement video planning guide

I want you to have a film you'll love, but I also care deeply about your experience on the day. We'll go over tips for planning your elopement from setting your timeline so you'll get portraits during the best light of day to tips for telling your story in a beautiful and personal way.

Personal timeline assistance

When you're eloping, a lot of the typical wedding day structure goes out the window. This can be freeing, but also overwhelming! I can help guide you through a custom timeline that allows you to enjoy your day.

Together we'll make sure you have enough time allocated for things you want to experience without rushing or stress on the day.

Elopement day coverage

An elopement ceremony may be shorter, but the day is just as long and filmworthy as any big wedding! Each package includes different elopement day coverage so you'll get exactly what you need.

Full day coverage (up to 10 hours) is recommended to capture the whole story of your elopement without rushing or stress. This lets us capture the lead up to the ceremony, any other activities or events you have planned, plus the dreamy portraits you'll love.

Feature film

A 3-6 minute film thoughtfully composed from moments throughout your wedding day and your engagement session. This will include portions of your wedding events such as your ceremony, vows, speeches, any letters you write to each other, as well as the little moments throughout your day. This is likely the film you will watch most often and will bring you right back into the feeling of your elopement day.

*Length of film depends on package booked.

Mix of digital and film footage

Your elopement will captured in full on modern digital cameras and professional audio equipment for clean and clear footage.

I'll also bring my 1960s super8 film camera along! This gives added texture and rawness when sprinkled through your film. Think of this as the video version of a Polaroid--it's fun, its little imperfections just make it better, and the footage is dreamy and nostalgic as soon as it's captured.

Your story captured forever

You've chosen to start your marriage by eloping and you deserve a beautiful film to remember this time in your life.

Decades from now you'll be able to look back at how your story started. Time moves quickly and memories fade, but you'll have your story saved forever.

“Thank you for adding our own videos from our elopement trip to our wedding video! We never would have thought to capture that and had a blast!”
