The shoe game is great for a bit of light-hearted fun during the reception. Here's some of my favourite 'shoe game' questions that are sure to get a laugh from the crowd 😀

The shoe game is great for a bit of light-hearted fun during the reception. Basically a designated person (probably the MC, maid of honour or a bridesmaid) will ask the bride and groom to sit on chairs back to back up the front, they should exchange one shoe so that they will have one of their own s...

Hi, I’m Anna 👋
I’m a videographer, marketing freelancer, a wife and a mum of 3 🥰
I’ve been filming weddings for 7 years and could not wish for a better, more rewarding job! I love being part of such a special day and even more-so I love to create something so meaningful for newly-weds, it fills my cup and brings me so much joy! 😍
My calendar is starting to fill up for the coming 2023-24 wedding season so please get in touch ASAP if you are interested in wedding videography so you don’t miss out 🙏 xx

I’ve stumbled upon some blog posts I wrote but never published (from pre-children - when I had a lot more spare time 😅) so I’m going to publish them in the coming weeks in the hopes it might help some brides who are currently wedding planning 🖊😍
First up; ‘Tips for the ultimate wedding ceremony – from a videographers POV’ 🎥
Feel free to tag or share with a bride-to-be so she can follow along with this new series 🥰

Every couple will without a doubt have their own style and ideal wedding, some people are happy with the shortest ceremony possible so they can pop the champers sooner and others will prefer to have a longer ceremony with stories, readings, songs and other symbols of coming together. Having been to....

Now that the power is back on at home, Abby and I are working overtime on my latest wedding edit - for this one we had our creative session at the Pakowhai Dog Park and it's crazy to think that those picturesque scenes are no longer and the devastation that's been caused by Cyclone Gabrielle since the wedding 😭 My heart goes out to all the people who have suffered.. beit their belongings, home, livelihood or a loved one 💔 It's tough times out there so please look out for each other ❤️‍🩹
If you're a bride who's wedding plans have been affected by Gabrielle's destruction (e.g. your venue had to cancel and you need alternative ideas or if important guests can no longer make it and you'd like your day filmed) feel free to reach out, I'd love to help in absolutely any way I can. We're all in this together 💞

New ‘film it yourself’ package option available
I have been really pressed for time this summer with my day job as well as my busy 18 month old son, so I created a DIY option where I provide you with all the equipment and instructions required so you can get a guest to film your wedding for you, then I’ll create a highlights video for you and provide you with the full version of the ceremony and reception for you to enjoy watching back.
Kelsee and Jack’s friend did such a great day capturing their wedding for them and here’s a wee highlights montage of their day.
If you’re interested to hear more about this option, flick me a message 😊 x

I thought I should post an explanation as to why I haven't been active for the past 7 months or so.. 😊 we welcomed Ollie into the world on July 6 💙👶👣 and so filming weddings has taken a bit of a back seat while we settle into life as parents. In the new year I'll be back filming a limited number of weddings and I can't wait 👰🎥😍
