A Sunset, a Dance Floor, and All Your Favourite People
Chantelle and Tom, this is a proposal for your hinterland farm wedding | 12. September 2026
You're planning something that reflects you
Chantelle and Tom, it's been a pleasure learning about your wedding plans — a day designed to reflect your values and create a relaxed, authentic celebration with your family and friends without limits. Choosing a meaningful location like your friend's cattle farm clearly reflects your priorities for a personalized and intimate event.
From what you've shared, I understand that you, Chantelle, are looking forward to the experience of sharing the dance floor with friends and enjoying what will hopefully be a beautiful sunset for photos and video in that dress you already love. Tom, the inclusion of dirt bikes and dedicated time for personal enjoyment demonstrates your focus on creating a balanced and memorable day. And the camping aspect and boho design, as I understand it, will help maintain a grounded and informal atmosphere throughout the weekend.
It was also really nice to see how excited you both are for the celebration — that kind of energy and clarity always makes for a meaningful experience, and I’d love to help reflect that in your film.
My primary goal is to translate those specific elements, and the overall feeling you're aiming for, into a wedding film that you can cherish for years to come, by using a more documentary approach — of course highlighting emotions where they are happening, but also capturing the scenery and the overall feel of the day, where a lot is happening.
You've expressed a desire for authentic photo and video coverage, and that's an area I prioritize. My approach is to capture your day as it unfolds naturally, without staged emotions or unnecessary interference, which means wherever I use guidance during the day, it should feel honest and create a comfortable situation for you. Beyond capturing the visuals, I also aim to be a supportive resource for you both.
Ultimately, my aim is to deliver a film that accurately reflects your unique story and the atmosphere of your wedding day. This includes capturing the planned activities, spontaneous moments, and the overall emotional tone.
Here’s what I’ll be focusing on:
- Providing authentic documentation of the day's events
- Maintaining open communication and collaboration with you and your photographer
- Creating a final film that is both aesthetically pleasing and a true reflection of your vision
A Personal Film, Not Just another Wedding Video
Here’s where it gets interesting — let’s talk about how we shape something interesting that fits your natural and authentic wedding.
From the very first moment, Nico created a warm and trusting atmosphere, making us feel completely at ease. His playful tips and creative ideas turned every moment into stunning shots as we shared countless laughs together. His attention to detail from preparation to execution and post-production was exceptional.
01 | Comprehensive Documentation of the Day's Events
My aim is to provide thorough coverage of your wedding day, capturing a wide range of elements, from the relaxed atmosphere of the boys maybe getting ready at their tents and the anticipated golden-hour moments to the planned activities such as playing games and dancing. Tom, I'll ensure the inclusion of footage featuring you and your friends, while remaining as unobtrusive as possible. The emphasis for both of you is on authenticity, creating a film that brings you (and maybe future kids) straight back to the joy of the day.
02 | Reflect Your Vision
From our conversations, it's evident that you've carefully considered the overall atmosphere of your wedding day, including elements such as boho/natural styling, games, meaningful connections, natural surroundings, and enjoyable activities. My approach is to work collaboratively with you to capture the intended energy and aesthetic, ensuring the final film is a relaxed and honest reflection of your story, rather than a planned production.
03 | Supporting a Smooth and Enjoyable Experience
Recognizing that you're planning the wedding independently, I'm readily available to offer subtle guidance to help ensure a seamless and enjoyable flow. This includes providing timeline suggestions based on my experience, and proactively collaborating with your photographer to ensure a cohesive approach. My overarching goal is to support your overall experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying every moment without unnecessary stress or logistical concerns.
Tailored with Intention
I've put together a few options for you to consider, and my main goal was to make sure they really fit what you're looking for in your wedding film. These packages are designed around capturing your day in a way that feels personal, authentic, and just like you—but also with your budget in mind.
Below, you'll see three options. I'll explain the differences below.
The third option is the Wedding Love Story package. Since you mentioned wanting to be natural on camera, I thought this could be a good fit. One of the things I do is film couples a bit before their wedding day in a relaxed setting. This helps you get comfortable with the camera, and it makes a big difference on the wedding day! I know it might stretch the budget a little, but I thought it could really help you both feel at ease and also add even more personal value to your film.
To make it fit your budget better, I've made this version a bit smaller than the Wedding Love Story package you see on my website.
Custom packages, made for you
-
Offer 1 - Your Wedding Day Film
This is for couples who don’t need a big story — just the real one. A calm, honest film from morning to night that reflects the joy and energy of your day, with a few hand-picked audio moments to bring the atmosphere to life.
Price: $2150
-
Offer 2 - The Wedding Day Storytelling Film (light)
My recommendation for you: This package builds on the first option by adding more emotional depth through story. The structure is similar, but there's more thought put into pacing, a bit more music variation, a touch more audio, and a stronger storytelling thread woven throughout. It's a small step up—but one that makes the film feel even more personal and unique, without going full documentary mode.
Price: $2390
-
Offer 3 - The lovestory film (light)
It includes everything from Option 2 but adds a relaxed love story session before the wedding. We meet up somewhere that feels like you—your favourite spot, the place you met, or just somewhere you feel at home—and I film you both together as you are. That footage becomes part of the final film, so you don’t just see how your wedding day looked, but also how you were as a couple leading into it. It also makes a huge difference on the wedding day—you’ll feel more relaxed, more yourselves, and less like a camera is even there.

Our video is the perfect balance of the emotions and feels of the day, mixed with the love, energy, fun, and our personalities. We can’t thank Nico enough for the amazing memory he has created for us, on a day that just goes by so fast. We now have an everlasting memory to celebrate together — and one we’ll get to relive with our children as they grow.
A Few Extras…
A quiet presence, with a watchful eye
I do my best to interfere as little as possible—especially when meaningful moments are happening. My approach is grounded in observation: staying close enough to capture what matters, but never so close that it pulls anyone out of the experience.
But I don't leave you alone: I'll give you guidance during the sunset shooting but help you staying as natural as possible.
Help to create space
You’re clearly thoughtful planners. That said, I’m here to help create the space you want to be fully present. I prepare with intention—never to stage your day, but to give it room to breathe. Whether it’s shaping a timeline that allows for all the fun moments or offering input when you're unsure, I’m here to support without overstepping.
Cinematic Storytelling Approach
My films are handcrafted, blending documentary-style audio with carefully chosen music and immersive sound design. I record throughout the day to also pick up the real, unscripted sounds where possible—your voices, laughter, quiet exchanges—and build the film’s rhythm also around those moments. Every detail is selected to make the final piece feel true and transportive.
Planning between intention and intuition
I’m not the kind of filmmaker who just shows up and hopes for the best—but I’m also not here to script your day. I come prepared, knowing what matters to you and how to shape the timeline to give those moments room. I think ahead about light, pacing, and story—but when the day arrives, I stay responsive. That balance—between intention and intuition—is what helps couples relax. You can let go, knowing the details are being held with care.
From morning nerves to the final dance
I’m with you nearly the whole day (9h in every package)—not just for the ceremony or the pretty light. I arrive in the morning when the nerves and excitement are real, and I stay until the dancefloor is packed. That full presence lets me capture the honest flow of your day—its quiet beginnings, emotional highs, and everything in between. I’m not in a rush to leave after the first dance, because I know some of the best moments unfold when everyone is dancing.
You don’t have to worry about the technical side…
…I've got it covered. I come fully prepared with everything needed to make sure your film looks and sounds its best. For the ceremony, I use 3–4 cameras to capture every angle without being in the way. You’ll be fitted with discreet lavalier microphones, and I use professional audio recorders to ensure every word is crisp and clear. I can take some drone footage of the bike action with the boys—those moments are always fun to catch—and also make the most of the beautiful scenery around the farm. I also bring lighting gear for key moments like speeches or your first dance, so even the dimly lit spaces feel warm and cinematic on screen.
Let's create something natural and joyfull together.
If any part of this feels right for you, I’d love to be part of your wedding day.
If you’re imagining something different, send me an email or let’s talk about it on our call in two days.
If it already feels like the right fit, you can skip ahead and send me your details — I’ll get the contract ready to secure your date. Otherwise I am excited to hear what you think when we talk Monday at 04.30pm.
We had so much fun working with you! We will treasure this forever ❤️
