WE DON’T LIVE IN MELBOURNE - CAN YOU GET HERE?

Yes! I live for a countryside vista, a destination wedding or the beauty of international romance!
I don’t charge for travel time under 2 hours from Melbourne CBD.
Travel for more than 2 hours in a car will be charged at $100 per hour within Victoria, Australia and may incur accommodation costs.

For Australian interstate or international weddings: flights and accommodation will need to be arranged and paid by the client at time of booking. I have a sweet elderly dog (#loppalove) and I try to limit my travel time away from her – as such all travel expenses are at the cost of the client. Per dium/expenses can be negotiated.



WAIT... IS THIS ANALOGUE? OR DIGITAL?

I use an analogue camera to film at the wedding or event, either a Bolex, Scoopic or ARRI, using 16mm Kodak film stock. In one minute of film there are 1440 still images, that make a moving image when scanned to digital.
I can also use Super 8 film if you prefer that look over 16mm (8mm is slightly more grainy than 16mm).

Analogue editing by hand (cutting and hand printing film for analogue 16mm projection) is very labour intensive and only available by special arrangement.
SO both! I shoot on film, scan to digital and edit digitally. Giving you the best of both worlds!



FILM IS EXPENSIVE THOUGH, RIGHT?

It is a small additional cost to buy film stock for analogue 16mm cameras, however it is worth the effort! The colours, nostalgic feel, beauty of the softer aesthetic, and the analogue look is priceless!

The additional cost of film depends on the size of your wedding and how much coverage you want. I recommend 5 rolls (15 mins) of 16mm film for covering the essentials of a medium sized wedding, the bigger the wedding the more film required for coverage.

A minimum of one roll of film is recommended for engagements and a minimum of two rolls for elopements or small weddings (included when you book).




CAN WE MAKE A CUSTOM ARRANGEMENT?
AND ARE YOU NEGOTIABLE ON PRICE?

If you have a special request, or if you hold an Australian concession card, feel free to reach out to me here.
I can help you work out the perfect plan for your situation over a coffee and am a little flexible depending on what you’d like, however I have calculated my rates and packages based on the below industry standards which are fixed:

Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) standard award for freelance videographers:
-MEAA daily videography freelance rate is $1070
-MEAA freelancer standard hourly rate $257.

– Telecine: Film scanning to digital is outsourced at an additional fee per roll of film (~$50 HD and $80 for 4K), and added to the final bill.

– 16mm film stock is $110 per roll (3 mins per roll) and is added to the final bill; you can preset a cap on how much film you’d like to use. Two rolls of film are included in every wedding shoot to kick off.

Unfortunately, I am not negotiable on these rates - as much as the best things in life are free - the quality, labour, care, and specialised nature of analogue filmmaking is rare and valued.

A one day wedding shoot and edited package is $3000. Currently I have a discount package available for $2400 - jump on it! 




HELPFUL TO NOTE:
A 50% deposit confirms your booking.



Love saves the day! Vive cinema!!



And if a wedding film is all too hard...We just love a good photo booth - this can be arranged using super 8 or 16mm instead of disposable cameras for a flat fee of $1000 - landing in your hot little hands the next week.
