We just love creating a Same Day Edit Video experience for our special wedding couples. For Julie and Joel who celebrated at International Brighton we focused on their traditional asian tea ceremonies from earlier in the wedding day and their wonderful reception including a fantastic Bridal waltz. Did you know they had already gotten married in Perth on Christmas eve! This was a first for us – to film a wedding day without a wedding – just goes to show how much else happens on a wedding day!

Special thanks to Karen and Alan and Finessence Photography and also Lyly and Rob at Vogue Wedding and Events aka “The Dream Team” and the wonderful staff at International Brighton who let us take over the office and set up our editing stations.

Married at one of our favourite Melbourne wedding venues, Quat Quatta (“Meeting Place”), Sarah and Alex had both their ceremony and reception at this one location.

Our talented wedding videographer Joel was up early with a smile for their wedding with two tea ceremonies complete with door games for the boys. Their wedding photographer was Andrew Noble who was a pleasure to work with and a heap of fun.

Our Short + Sweet highlights just keep getting longer, with this one coming in with a running time of nine minutes!

With a focus on natural audio form the wedding day and all the little moments that make each wedding so unique, this little video sums up their day nicely. Oh, what a truly great day, thank you and congratulations, Sarah and Alex!
