We love working with Videographers who candidly capture the essence of the day, the happy tears, the adoring looks, fun, the laughter and atmosphere and all the special details.
We love watching couples highlight films that includes audio of the couples story together and their personalised vows to each other, as these are unique to each couple and we know our couples put so much time and thought in to creating these parts of their ceremony.
Blue Vale Films
Working alongside Ed, his professionalism, friendliness and experience really shines through as he works seamlessly with Photographers and other suppliers, so they can all share capturing all the special moments, without being in each others way/ shot. We were particularly impressed to see our couples wedding highlight film was ready just 1 month after their wedding – before they had even received their professional photos! As Celebrants, we know how much thought and work goes in to personalising a wedding ceremony, and Ed truly values the parts of the ceremony that are particularly special to his couples and includes these as both audio and video, creating a timeless keepsake for his couples. We would highly recommend Ed for his dedication to capturing the day so perfectly, and for his efficiency in delivering the finished product within a professional timeframe, which also shows how passionate he is about his job.
Michaela’s attention to detail is second to none. She actually contacts the Celebrant prior to the wedding day to gain a clear understanding of the unique inclusions of the ceremony. By understanding the thought and effort the couple and Celebrant put in to designing the ceremony, Michaela is able to deliver a fantastic film that includes the parts of the day that are most significant to the couple. On the day she is bubbly, helpful and enthusiastic. I have no hesitation in recommending Your Wedding Story. Cara Hodge – Brisbane City Celebrants.
