Wild Bunch Weddings

This was a big wedding in so many ways. Lots of spectacular events were organised, various locations around Noosa were used to for the various parts of the Jewish Ceremony. An original ceremony location on Noosa Main beach and a lot of dancing.

Dancing and singing on the beach, streets, restaurants, clubs. I really enjoyed editing this one and you can see the emotion and joy that went into the day.

Many thanks to Kim from Events of Noosa, Melinda from Sails Restaurant, the Sydney photographers, Laguna Jacks .

An incredible day with Georgie and Andrew Browne from the Scotchmans Hill wine family, so a lot of fantastic wine was served at Ricky’s Restaurant (incredible, iconic venue for weddings). Rather than come on the photo shoot the couple wanted Wild Bunch Wedings to grab guest comments and messages on video, mostly form the Catalina Cruise Boat going up the Noosa River at Sunset.

Most guest had traveled up from Melbourne and had been tucking into the bubbly by the time i interviewed them, so most comments will remain on the DVD that was sent out. Kim from Events of Noosa did a great job as always and Pru Edwards is simply a fantastic make up artist who consistently has such high standards.

The couple sent me message:

“LOVE the video, it is unreal.
Georgie”

So over the last month we’ve done a few wedding films and it’s amazing what a journey it is. It’s virtually impossible to to be untouched by the emotions on the day, which makes the testimonials we receive mean a lot to us. It’s also nice to know that the testimonials are going beyond just us; around 50% of our work came from referrals this year and it looks like next year will be a big referral year too…

So the small Wild Bunch Weddings studio team have been amazing. I won’t put all the testimonials up but over the next few posts I’ll put the wedding film clip and testimonial from the relevant couple.

Thanks everyone.

Here’s one from Amanda and Rei:

“To love it is an understatement. It is the most amazing thing we have seen!
You have exceeded all our expectations & it is more beautiful that we could have ever imagined!
Thank you sooooooo much! It brought tears to our eyes!
Amanda & Rei.”

Great traditional dance by a young kid at the end of this one. In Amanda and Rei’s words:

“To love it is an understatement Justin. It is the most amazing wedding film we have seen!
You have exceeded all our expectations & it is more beautiful that we could have ever imagined!
Thank you sooooooo much! It brought tears to our eyes…”

Amanda & Rei.”

Many thanks to Hair stylist Kelly Weaver, Allyson Duncan Make Up and LM Images who did the photography, Starlight Limo’s and of course a great venue at Workshops Rail Museum and the Darling Street Chapel.

Thanks so much for the feedback. What Dan and Cate said:

“Dear Sam & Justin,

So many things impressed us about WBW. Foremost, you captured the essence of our day exactly how we experienced it, you really did an amazing job. We love our wedding video – it is natural, timeless and tells our story perfectly. Your professional, friendly and non-obtrusive style was very much appreciated. We whole-heartedly recommend you as wedding videographers.

Dan & Cate Lewin”

Dan and Cate were so much fun and adventurous with their photoshoot. We experimented with shooting at some high frame rates to create a super slow motion effect in the edit. After hours in the editing room, Justin manged to achieve a smooth slow motion on a few spectacular shots during the photo shoot.

Some incredible dancing, spinning, chair lifting and crazy fun ensued, with all ages joining in.

Many thanks to Ross Marks who was great to work with. The 4th Floor in Mooloolaba was a lot of fun and a great place to dance.

We love going to Sydney to film weddings. In fact one of our long time, Wild Bunch, ‘uber’ professional cam-men has now set up in Sydney to offer our services to the Sydney Wedding scene. We’ve worked with many of Sydney’s best photographers and pride ourselves on being easy to work with,  as well as consistently creating an amazing looking film that is beautiful, elegant and resonates on a personal level with our couples.

The Tea Rooms at Gunners’ Barracks in Mosman are a breathtaking location. Andrea and James were a handsome couple and fun,  Raoul Tackelburg Photography was great to work with and produced some stunning images.

With Canon releasing some incredible new ‘videography’ equipment it looks like wedding films are going to reach new levels in 2012. So it’s a very exciting time for Wedding Cinematography.

I grab a few stills from our recent wedding footage occasionally to use in DVD menus and for images printed DVD and Blu Ray discs. I thought i’d post a few up here as examples. The soon to be released new DSLR cameras we use to films will allow us to grab photo quality images which is very exciting!! We mentioned this in the post about Jemima and Josh’s wedding.

Jemima and Josh were very easy to work with. With the flawless and elegant planning done by Lovebird Weddings and the Reception in Bistro C, which always seems to be able to create the most incredible party atmosphere.
The light on the day at Noosa Main beach was pretty special too.
The couple contacted us to see if we could grab some stills from the footage to blow up into photographs. We’ve tried this before with varying degrees of success, however now a handful of Digital SLR’s (stills cameras that shoot video) are using inter-frame technology rather than intra-frame which blends the frames in film. This makes it a lot easier to grab still images which will have an incredible quality.
Photographers shouldn’t worry, as out of the 25-60 frames per second that are shot on film, only a handful will actually be useable as we have a constant ‘shutter speed’, unlike a dedicated stills photographer who has more scope to compose a shot.
However it does allow us to ‘grab’ some fantastic images and add another option or dimension to the service we can offer at Wild Bunch Weddings.

As wedding locations go Maleny Manor is spectacular, add a helicopter entrance by the grooms party and you have a pretty impressive wedding day.
CL Weddings planning were great as always & photography by well known Sydney photographer Tim Pascoe.

Maleny provided us with perfect weather and the couple were very in love and very lovely to work with. It was great to catch up with a couple of their guests whose wedding i had filmed last year too!! Thanks Johnny and Julia.

We filmed Tess and Andy a few weeks before the wedding at Ricki’s River Bar to get a bit of background and incorporated a few segments into the highlights. A great story and a a couple that seem to compliments one another personalities.

Tess & Andy wedding

Tess was getting ready at Noosa Quays on Quamby Place, overlooking Noosa River and then onto St Andrews church in Sunshine Beach.

The day was planned very well by Annie from First Class Functions, so we followed the limo to Noosa Beach for the photoshoot before jumping on The Dreamboat to The Waterfront Restaurant where the bridal party was ushered in by the Bag Pipes.

If you would not like to know what a Scotsman wears under his kilt, stop the video on the Wild Bunch Weddings heart animation at the end.

Enjoy
