Behind the lens
I want my couples to look at their video and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.
Hi, I’m Geoff and I’m a full time
Wedding & Elopement Videographer based on the Gold Coast of Australia.
I have personally filmed over 700 weddings in Australia and internationally. I’m a native New Yorker, a coffee addict, and a proud father to a 9-year-old girl.
Before moving to Australia I was a news cameraman for FOX and ABC News in New York for six years which gave me an eye for detail and a knack for bagels. I covered everything from local and national news to professional sports including the NFL New York Giants.
So how did I end up filming weddings full-time?
When I moved to Australia I attended a friend’s wedding as a guest and filmed it for the couple as a gift. They loved what I put together and soon after I found myself capturing another friend’s wedding.
Then another.
Before I knew it I was working for a resort on the Gold Coast as their in-house wedding videographer. It was there I developed a real passion for filming weddings which only increased with the feedback I received from the bride and groom and their families.
Documenting a milestone event is a special honor and I’m so lucky to have found my niche.
Why I do what I do
I’m a wedding videographer smitten with capturing love stories! Witnessing the magic of your special day and preserving those emotions in a film is a true privilege.
This amazing job allows me to travel to beautiful locations and be my own boss, which means plenty of flexibility to create lasting memories with my own family.
My beautiful family
Beyond capturing love on film, I’m incredibly fortunate to have my own beautiful love story at home with my amazing fiancé and 9-year-old daughter.
Being a father is one of the greatest joys in my life, and I cherish every moment.
Destination Wedding Videographer
As I mentioned above I love combining my work and travel and I’ve now filmed weddings in six countries.
In 2018 I flew to Scotland to capture Christine & Jonathan’s wedding in the breathtaking highlands of Scotland (pictured).
Why should you choose Me as Your Videographer?
There are so many videographers to choose from and everyone has their own, individual style and approach. My work has been described as candid, natural and elegant. With each year I strive to find ways to improve my overall quality of videography but I don’t necessarily follow trends. I believe this keeps my films timeless and not dated.
While I can’t make myself completely invisible during your wedding day I do understand that the family and friends you’ve invited want to see you get married and not have to look around myself or my gear. I do whatever I can to show respect to your guests and their presence.
Many couples come to me because, like you, they might have different perspectives on wedding videography. Perhaps one of you is excited to relive the emotions of the day through video, while the other hesitates about being on camera.
Here’s where my approach comes in:
- Discreet Filming: I believe in capturing the genuine moments of your wedding without intruding on the celebration. My filming style is candid and natural. This is especially perfect for those who feel a bit self-conscious on camera. Many couples often say they didn’t notice me during the important moments of their wedding day.
- Focus on Emotion: My goal is to create a beautiful and timeless video that captures the essence of your love story. I focus on the emotions, the laughter, the tears of happiness – all the moments that make your wedding day truly special and unique.
- A Collaborative Experience: Communication is key! I’ll work with you beforehand to understand your vision and ensure you feel comfortable with every step of the process.
Ultimately, a wedding video should be a cherished keepsake that brings back the magic of your day, for both of you. Let’s create a video that you’ll love to watch together, for years to come.
If you’d like to see examples of my work that showcase this natural, unobtrusive style I have some featured wedding films you can watch right here on my website.
I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of amazing couples across Australia, the US, and Europe. One of my biggest highlights so far was filming Soul Surfer Bethany Hamilton’s wedding in Kauai, Hawaii in 2013 (pictured above).
I’m referred by some awesome venues across the Gold Coast as well as many talented professionals across the wedding industry. Working alongside some of the same celebrants, photographers, and wedding coordinators has made me lifelong friends and we often find ourselves hired for the same weddings time and time again. Most likely you found out about me this way.
