A gorgeous day at Sylvan Glen for Alanna and Sam over the weekend. Made all the better by having my love, Zo, with me filming. And she got some gold - check it out!

Here's Em and Hugh's day in glorious wide-screen 😍
EMILY & HUGH’S WHITE WETTING!
Picture this: it's pouring rain and Em and Hugh are brave enough to go all in with their outdoor ceremony. Sure, we missed out on the Blue Mountains view because of the fog, but the weather cleared up just in time for some amazing shots at Sublime Point and Lincoln Rock. I was lucky enough to have captured one of the best drone shots ever – without a single tourist in sight!
Then came a bit of a hiccup – my Canon camera took a rain check during the ceremony. But, no worries, the new Sony, out of the box, stepped up big time. It was like it was made for this moment.
And here's a happy ending: the Canon wasn’t down for the count. After drying out, it was back in action the next day. All’s well that ends well, right?
The reception at the Bunker was the perfect blend of intimate and fun. It was all about family, love, and those special moments that make a wedding memorable. And I have to mention Emily’s homemade shortbread and wedding cake – I couldn’t resist grabbing a few extra pieces!
To Emily and Hugh, it was an absolute joy to capture your special day. Wishing you a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and memorable moments.
Best,
Michael and Zo xoxo

Victoria + George | Teaser - Berida Manor, 2023
This one really got me.
I had the enormous pleasure on Sunday to film the wedding of my dear friend and mentor, George and his beautiful bride Victoria. What's more, I've watched as they found one another and their love blossomed. Now, vows will usually make me tear up, but rarely do I cry. On Sunday, I did. Perhaps it was the light in my eyes, or late spring hay fever, or watching two people, two families bond, not just for love, but with respect, a sense of humour, and deep commitment to one another.
I hope, through this brief teaser, you'll feel that too.
Victoria, George, thank you. You made me feel part of the family as I filmed, and, as always, your kindness, consideration, respect and love could be felt for miles around. Here's to a lifetime of happiness together 🥂 xoxo

You know when you meet a couple and you just know that somewhere out there Cupid’s smiling because they fulfilled their destiny? That’s Michelle and Nick.
On Saturday, I had the honour and privilege of filming my dear friend’s wedding. Nick and I met in Year 8 French class and, perhaps influenced by the romance of the French dialect, instantly hit it off. For 6 years, our bond was unbreakable. Nick is the closest I’ll ever come to having a brother and I count myself so bloody lucky that I can call him a friend. Naturally, when I found out a few years later that he had met Michelle, I had to make sure that if anyone was going to take my brother from me, they’d better be good. And my god, he had done it. From the first moment, Michelle’s warm soul and generous spirit had me feeling like I was rugged up at home with a cup of Earl Grey. The thing that struck me about her, and what I admire most about Michelle today, is that she is fearlessly, unashamedly Michelle. A beautiful, strong, gentle woman who compliments the determined, goofy, and ruggedly handsome Nick perfectly.
Together with their nearest and dearest, Michelle and Nick’s love was celebrated in the best way possible. Their wedding was the perfect reflection of them. Held at home, I was lucky enough to see how many people poured their hearts into Michelle and Nick’s love story and what a team effort it was - from the incredibly landscaped garden ceremony area to the cosy reception marquee, it was flawless.
The wedding is over now, but the story goes on and for Michelle and Nick, I know it’s going to be a cracker. For now, it’s onwards to the honeymoon, but for the months and years ahead, I want to wish you both all the happiness and success the world has to offer and know that we will always be here for you, no matter what. Even if it’s just to rewatch this video with you on your anniversary!
Love you both always,
Michael xoxo
Before I went on parental leave, I brought Annie to work and this is how it went..!

Autumn weddings are just incredible to shoot. The lighting and the colours of the foliage are just a feast for the eyes and everything is just that bit cosier with the fire pits lit. Sally and Lee's wedding was no exception. Not only was the autumn light amazing, but the light show continued into the night thanks to Luminous. Still, nothing beat the genuine care and dorky humour (mainly Lee!) of this gorgeous couple. Every second was a dream! So great working with photographer Gavin Cato Photography and FIKRI FILMS Weddings
Honestly, sometimes I find the city can be a real pain to film in (and I might still be up for a parking ticket yet), but The Rocks really delivered for Viktoria and Telman earlier this month. An intimate ceremony matched only in its beauty by the sunset at the Opera House. Here's a look...
Never before have you met a more fun loving, chill couple like Sarah and Josh. Their ability to laugh and go with the flow made their wedding day perfect.
Here's just a taste...
There perfect morning to take the drone for a spin! Here's a sneak peek...
🙌 Sylvan Glen is a vibe 🙌
Stunning panoramic views from this gorgeous Gibraltar Real Estate property!
Emily and Josh's wedding day was a case of the stars aligning. A stunning summers day. The world's best photographer Thomas Stewart Photography (I might be biased, but I stand by it) and the best shooter alongside, Mitch Films For Frank
Together, we captured he most glorious love story, punctuated by a strong sense of family and a good dose of fun. Every single visual was a dream to capture and Emily and Josh are set for the perfect love story.
Ladies and Gentlemen...
The beautiful Sara and Wil, a wedding very close to my heart. They battled through rain and road closures to have one of the most gorgeous celebrations of 2022. And now, immortalised in film, the memories will last forever!
Madi and Riley's love was a joy to witness. Nothing beats a high school sweetheart love story! Wishing them both all the love and luck as they grow their gorgeous family.
