FAQ

What makes a great wedding videographer?

The leading wedding videographers around the world all have one thing in common. They are excellent storytellers. Their award winning wedding films illicit emotion when you watch them, because they capture the un-repeatable moments on a wedding day that so genuinely illustrate the couple's love story.

When you watch wedding films created by the world's elite wedding videographers you can not look away. They're highly engaging films that you instinctively want to watch to the end.

The top wedding videographers are excellent observers and have a genuine interest and love for people. You can tell whether you're talking to one of the world's best wedding filmmakers by how engaged they are with getting to know you. The better a filmmaker understands your relationship with your fiance, the better they'll be able to capture your vibe.

Who are the best wedding videographers?

The best wedding filmmakers are cinematographers who tell your love story in a way that enables you to relive the feelings & emotions of your wedding day when you watch it. There's not really any industry awards that provide a definitive list of the leading wedding cinematographers, other than the recommendations we've provided above.

We recommend watching the films we've linked above to find your favourite wedding videographer. They all come highly recommended by previous clients and genuinely want to create a wedding film that you'll rave about. Cause it makes them feel good.

When to book top wedding photographers?

All of the amazing wedding videographers featured above are highly sought after filmmakers who can book out 12 - 18 months in advance. They only accept a limited number of bookings per year to keep production standards high, so while they might have your actual wedding date available, it's usually their editing schedule that prevents them accepting additional work.

Having said that, these legends are also among the most expensive wedding videographers in Australia, so they often have a few openings here & there for last minute wedding video bookings.

Pet Friendly Wedding Venues in NSW

Pet friendly wedding venues have become increasingly more prevalent in Australia over recent years. As more and more couples have requested the presence of dogs and other animals at their wedding ceremonies and receptions, it has become reasonably common to see pets being catered for on the wedding day.

In fact, the presence of pets at weddings has given a boom to an industry of products and services dedicated to ensuring they are looked after on their parents’ big day. From pet minding services that cater to the needs of pets and their owners at wedding venues, to pet clothing and accessories that match the day’s dress code.

Below is a list of the most pet friendly wedding venues in NSW. From dog friendly wedding venues to places where you can share your wedding with llamas, donkeys and horses. These are the wedding venues that welcome your furry friends with open arms and a scratch behind the ears.

Most pet inclusive venues will require that your fur baby has a dedicated attendant on your wedding day. The attendant will be required to pick up after your pet and ensure they're under control via a leash at all times. Attendants are also required to keep dogs away from the wedding venue's restricted areas such as commercial kitchens and food prep areas.

When it comes to choosing your pet's attendant, you can either nominate a wedding guest or hire a professional pet minder. Professional minders remove the responsibility of looking after your pet from your guests and ultimately yourselves - so that you can all relax knowing that Rex the Labradoodle isn’t digging up the veggie patch or chasing the neighbour’s sheep.

Here is a list of pet friendly wedding venues that welcome dogs and animals in all fluffy shapes and sizes.

In the Hilltops region of New South Wales nestled between Young and Grenfell is Glencara, a brand new off-the-beaten-track wedding venue that welcomes dogs to be part of your special day. The picturesque farm is surrounded by vibrant crops of canola during Spring months and offers lush green backdrop of wheat fields during Autumn.

An affordable venue hire fee includes exclusive use of a rustic barn or you can host your wedding ceremony and reception in the whimsical gardens with tables on the lawn or in a marquee. The gardens are a wonder of interactive riddles and games including a gorgeous rustic maze.
