GOLD COAST WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER

Candid,

Natural, Romantic

Have you ever been moved to tears by a stranger’s wedding video? That’s the power of masterful storytelling.

As an experienced Gold Coast wedding videographer, I don’t just capture what happens. I preserve the moments you’ll want to feel again. From the trembling voice in your vows to the laughter during speeches, every emotion is carefully woven into a film that tells your story, not just a highlight reel.

Your wedding day will pass in a blur, but your film ensures you’ll never miss a moment. Along with a cinematic highlight, you’ll receive complete recordings of your ceremony and reception formalities, so you can relive every word, every tear, and every laugh for years to come.

After filming more than 800 weddings and earning over 120 five-star reviews, I’m proud to be recommended by many of the Gold Coast’s most loved venues and vendors. Couples choose me because they can relax knowing their memories are in experienced hands.

Your story deserves to be remembered beautifully, authentically, and completely.

My dedication to my craft has earned me recognition as one of the best wedding videographers on the Gold Coast and in Southeast Queensland.

Hi, I am a professional

Elopement and Wedding Videographer

based on the Gold Coast of Australia

I’ve had the privilege of filming weddings across Australia and around the world — from Italy and Scotland to New Zealand and the USA. Along the way, I’ve even captured a few celebrity “I do’s.”

My approach is built on authenticity. I don’t stage or interrupt moments. I let the day unfold naturally so your film feels genuine and true to who you are.

Couples often tell me my calm, easygoing nature helps them feel relaxed in front of the camera. They also appreciate my quick wit and slightly sarcastic sense of humor, which always seems to put everyone at ease.

Many have said having me there elevated their entire day, not just their film.

Questions

Yes. Filming weddings for over 18 years, I’m well aware that each celebration is as unique as each couple.

Simply tell me your needs and vision for your wedding day and we can go from there.

Absolutely. Even though I consider each enquiry on its own merit, I typically save weekday dates for elopements and weekends for bigger events.

Yes. I love combining travel with my passion for wedding videography. Over the years, I’ve filmed weddings in the USA, Italy, Scotland, Fiji, and New Zealand — including a few high-profile celebrations along the way.

I was married in Wanaka myself, and I currently offer a special rate for couples planning a destination wedding or elopement in the Queenstown and Wanaka region of New Zealand.

If your wedding or elopement is within 90 minutes of the Gold Coast, I do not charge extra for travel. Outside of that, travel costs are dependent on where your event is taking place.

My booking process is straightforward and completely digital. Once you verbally confirm you’d like to book, I’ll send an online agreement to both you and your partner’s email addresses for digital signatures.

Once signed, a 25% initial payment secures your date.

Simple, paperless, and done.

One thing you should know is that I provide your entire ceremony, from start to finish, in a real-time video, plus a separate video of all your reception formalities.

It’s old school (but then again, so am I), and from what I’ve heard, many videographers don’t offer this anymore. My couples and their families love having these videos, and I believe they become more valuable over time.

I believe my other point of difference is my personality. Read my Google Reviews and you’ll see many couples talk about how my calming presence and witty sense of humor elevated their entire day.

My approach is all about candid, natural storytelling, capturing authentic moments without staging or direction.

During the ceremony and speeches, I use long telephoto lenses to stay discreetly in the background, minimizing any sense of intrusion.

This not only helps you relax and be fully present but also ensures family and friends can witness your vows and toasts without distraction from me.

For Gold Coast wedding videographers, peak wedding season (March to May, August to October) books up quickly. I recommend reaching out 12-18 months in advance for weekend dates during these popular months.

However, I often have availability for weekday weddings and off-peak dates with shorter notice. If your wedding is coming up soon, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I may still have your date available.
