The Storyteller Films Difference.
For those memories to remember.
Planning a wedding involves myriad decisions, and choosing the right videographer is undeniably one of the most pivotal. As you embark on this journey, let me share why I stand out among wedding videographers, bringing a unique blend of experience, commitment, and innovation to capture your special day like no other.
1. 300 plus Weddings:
Experience is not just a number; it’s a testament to a videographer’s ability to navigate the intricate tapestry of wedding celebrations. With over 300 weddings personally filmed, I bring a wealth of experience, ensuring that your unique story is in the hands of a seasoned professional.
2. The Personal Touch:
Your wedding day deserves a videographer who invests in your narrative, not just a random face from an agency-style supplier. When you choose me, you are guaranteed the personal touch—I am the actual videographer capturing every fleeting moment of your day with passion and precision.
3. 4K Brilliance:
In a world where technology evolves rapidly, future-proofing your memories is essential. I shoot all videos in 4K, offering four times the resolution of HD. This not only ensures the longevity of your memories but also delivers cinematic footage that captures the essence of your day in exquisite detail.
4. Soaring to New Heights:
Elevate your wedding video with breathtaking aerial shots captured by a 4K drone. These cinematic openings add a unique and visually stunning dimension to your wedding film, setting the stage for the magic that unfolds throughout the day.
5. Comprehensive Coverage, No Compromises:
Your wedding day is a tapestry of moments, and I capture them all. With four cameras strategically covering your ceremony, no detail goes unnoticed. This meticulous approach sets the stage for a cinematic edit that will let us capture the magic of your day.
6. Get it all:
Unlike some videographers who withhold raw footage, We don’t. Raw Footage is available on a BYO HDD (Bring Your Own) Depending on your chosen package and coverage you’ll get all footage filmed on the day, including the full ceremony and speeches, free of charge. We have no travel fees for weddings within 120 km of Brisbane, and your package time starts when I arrive. Wedding outside the 120km band may need to cover extras like additional fuel and accommodation if necessary.
7. Dedication to Excellence:
Every wedding is a masterpiece, and I treat it as such. I dedicate up to two weeks to meticulously labour over your edit, ensuring that each shot is colour-graded to perfection. Your wedding video is not just a documentation—it’s a work of art.
8. Stability in Uncertain Times:
Having weathered the storms of financial crises and a pandemic, I offer you stability and reliability. Your deposit is safe with me, providing you with peace of mind during the planning process.
9. A Photographer’s Eye:
If you have booked me as your videographer and another company for photography and in the unforeseen event that your photographer cannot make it and does not show up, I can step in and provide an emergency service. As an accomplished photographer, I wear both hats with finesse, ensuring that every moment is beautifully captured.
10. Cost-Effective Brilliance:
My commitment to shooting in 4K brings you a unique advantage. Stunning photos can be extracted directly from the video, offering you the benefits of both photography and videography at the cost of one service—a cost-effective solution for the savvy couple.
In choosing me as your wedding videographer, you’re not just hiring a professional; you’re securing a partner dedicated to turning your moments into timeless memories. Let’s embark on this journey together, and let your wedding story unfold in cinematic brilliance.
