Cheeky timeline planning tip to help you along the way..
Maybe I’m biased because I’m a videographer, but lighting is always my starting point for timelines. Whether you’re planning for sunrise or sunset, my first priority is to nut-out when Golden Hour will be, and what part of my day it is most important for.
Golden Hour is the hour after sunrise and before sunset. It is the most beautiful lighting for photo and video, so working out what I want to happen at that time is my first port of call.
Usually this will be your couples portrait session following your ceremony, which is the best time to take advantage of the gorgeous lighting! Alternatively, there may be a particular activity you will be doing (such as a scenic flight, or a sunrise picnic) that is the star of the show, and so you will want to build your timeline around that.
You can use a sun tracker app, or many of your fave weather forecast platforms to help you identify when the Golden Hour window will be for your proposed date, and myself or your photographer can also help you with this :) Golden Hour goes by in a flash, so plan to arrive at your location just before Golden Hour hits!

✨ Tegan + Stephen ✨
I was so excited when Tegan reached out to me.
"We are having a secret intimate ceremony with just us, our children, and our parents. We would love to use our highlight film at our engagement party to announce to everyone that we actually got married already!"
Sign me up!!
These two have the best connection both with each other, and with their children. It's always extra special to witness the blending of two families - and their cute as heck kiddos really brought their A-game on wedding day!
Top it off with the epic scenery by Lambert's Lookout, and a golden glowy sunset that made a special appearance between the rain, literally just for the few perfect hours we needed to get these two married.
Oh - and to do their first dance on the cliff, under the rising moon. I mean come on!! 🌙
Congratulations you two - and here's to a long and beautiful marriage!

We love a gal who's not afraid to let her hair loose in the wind!
They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, but these two don't even need it. They are perfectly matched, and you just know they have a long happy life together ahead of them.
@kelsi.suttle + David, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your big day! I can't wait to share more with you 🙊

Have you seen the beautiful National Proposal Day stories going around?!
National Proposal Day was founded by John Michael O’Loughlin, who created the holiday after watching his cousin wait for years to be proposed to.
He designed it to remind people of the possibility of proposing before life passes by.
Because it falls not too long after Valentine’s day, it is said he decided to make this holiday take place on the vernal equinox (March 20).
This is the day when the stars and planets align to make life-changing events happen 🌟

Skye + Alan - What an epic day it was!
Full film arrives this week 🎉
Jamie + Rob Campbell
14 • 08 • 2021
Their wedding day was full of sentimental, personal touches, like a trip to Jamie's Pop's train station, bridesmaid dresses handmade by Mum, Rob's Grandpa's watch, Grandma's 80th birthday celebrations, and a first look with Jamie's Dad under the tree her Pop planted.
Topped off with Jamie and Rob's unique love story, incredible vows, and stunner of a venue! Oh.. and a special announcement 🙊
It honestly felt like such a privilege to be let into a day like theirs. I hope I did them and their beautifully connected family justice with this film, and I hope you love watching it.
Lots of love - Taylor 🤎
Who's in your wedding tribe?!
I absolutely LOVED being a bridesmaid for my bestie. She's fashionable AF so I got an awesome dress, and she gave me free reign on the charcuterie board creation, which is a fave pastime of mine.
Don't even get me started on the riot of a hens night.. 🤣
It's such a special thing to be surrounded by your nearest and dearest, and if this little compilation is anything to go by, they often serve you some of the most hilarious and high-vibe moments of the whole day.
(They also never fail to whip out emergency panadol, bandaids, or booze!)
Tell your wedding honeys you love em today!
The Campbells
This just in.. These two beautiful humans are expecting a baby Campbell!!
Congratulations honeys, you are going to be the most fabulous and loving parents! There's a bit of extra magic having you on my editing screen today 🥰
I can't believe it's been a week since these two beautiful souls tied the knot.
Skye and Alan put together the most epic surprise wedding! They got ready with their nearest and dearest, eloped on a beach that means the world to them, and then rocked up at their "engagement party" and surprised everyone with the fact they had gotten married earlier that day!
It was an incredibly emotional, high-vibes kind of day - and it suited them perfectly. These two are the perfect example of how you can have a genuine, connected, meaningful day, without the pressure of a traditional wedding.
Honeys, it was honestly a privilege to be a part of this day with you - thank you for letting me in to how you were feeling, and trusting me to capture your special moments.
Highlight film coming soon! 🎉

Guess who's film is coming this week.. 🙊
Brodie + Tobias were such a mood on their wedding day!
Brodie is the most vibrant, vivacious woman - a total wild child. In complete contrast, Tobias is a super chilled out, easy-going dude. They fit perfectly like puzzle pieces.
The thing they clearly both have in common... they bloody love a party!
I mean it when I say their day was a rollercoaster of emotions.. from a Father of the Bride speech that literally had the whole room in weepy puddles, to Brodie sat on the bar drinking the boys under the table - it was a riot, which makes for a riot of a film! 🎉🎉🎉
Not long now honeys! 🙊

Sometimes you just need to stop and take a breather.
Things have been pretty wild lately, and I need to keep reminding myself to take a pause, and enjoy the little things.
It's no surprise that my macro lens is my favourite really.. I love being able to experience the smallest of delicate moments in a new way.
I love capturing and including shots like these in my films. Especially my travel films and outdoor weddings. They tell the story of a place, an atmosphere, an adventure.
But most of all, they remind me of the peace in wild things.. 🌿

I put the public holiday to good use today and made wicked progress on my latest wedding film, featuring these stunning blooms.
Creating the audio story of a film is always the longest part for me creatively and often my hardest sticking point.
1) Picking the right music (this takes me FOREVER. I want perfect tunes and perfect tunes only).
2) Transcribing every bit of usable audio from the day and then constructing it like a jigsaw puzzle to get every piece in the right storytelling place.
3) Laying all of those audio pieces onto my chosen 🎵 tracks, and then slicing and dicing up the music to make everything flow perfectly where I need it to.
Sometimes I get stuck on this for days/weeks, but then I have a day like today where the vibes are immaculate, I finally find the tunes I'm after, and suddenly 10 hours has gone by and i've made killer progress.
Thankfully today was one of those days.. even though I stayed in bed until midday 🙊 Anyone else have a cheeky holiday sleep in?
Ali + Tom - The Rainforest
This was such a dream to create. Nestled into the Eungella Valley, we went exploring in the rainforests of #FinchHatton.
I was so inspired by the forest. The calm, the water on the leaves, the sense of peace, like you could just be there forever and never quite see everything there was to see.
A friend and I revisited the same spot and we spoke about how, when you're immersed in nature like that on your own, it's the closest you ever feel to being truly human. Being a part of the earth, not just living on it. It was just serene.
Not a bad spot for an elopement!
Ali + Tom are absolute gems. Their love is plain to see. The way they make each other laugh with their crazy jokes, the way Tom constantly gathered the leaves out of Ali's dress and shoes (we LOVE a bride who's not afraid to get a little grubby), and the way they find their peace in each other.
It truly was beautiful to witness and big love to them both for sharing a little piece of it with me.
