Wedding Videography in Hunter Valley
During the past years, I filmed numbers of weddings in Hunter Valley.
Travelling to Hunter Valley from Sydney is about two and a half hours. For long hours weddings, I would stay there a night before so I did not need to rush and avoid busy traffic in the morning. For late weddings, I would stay in the area overnight and return to Sydney the next day.
Why I love doing weddings in Hunter? Beautiful, it’s absolutely beautiful!! As a videographer (I believe photographers agree with me too), it’s such a stunning location to get stunning footage and photos. There are farms, vineyards, botanic gardens, charm venues etc. Because of these, every time I go to Hunter, I always have my drone ready, I reckon nothing is better than a drone to get some beautiful landscape footage.
Here are some wedding videos filmed at Hunter Valley, enjoy.
Same Sex Weddings | The Epping Club Weddings | Indian Wedding Videographer
Love is love.
Over the years I filmed few gay and lesbian weddings in Sydney, however this was one of the most unforgettable one.
I still remember when I first met N and P at their house, I had a lovely chat about their wedding plan, learnt their story, discussed some details about their traditional rituals, talked about what was happening at the place where I born, Hong Kong. I love listening my clients’ stories, but also love to share mine.
It was a two days weddings. The first day involved traditional ceremonies, and the second involved civil ceremony and formal reception at Epping Club.
I was so pleased to witness and capture their wedding under the new same sex marriage has been legal.
Love is love.
Zoom Live Stream Wedding | Dunbar House Weddings
Our crew has been busy over the long weekend for another livestream wedding event. We were at Dunbar House Watsons Bay. After having a good run of livestream weddings since the beginning of the year, we are actually addicted to host a live event now. The biggest excitement is that knowing people from other parts of the world are also being part of that, it makes us feel like we help people to connect and make joy no boundaries now.
And we are very thankful for the advanced technology we have nowadays. The entire ceremony and reception were just done via Zoom. We are now able to connect to the world with just a click of a button. The bride’s mum and best friend were overseas (Columbia and the US if you are curious) so they had to do their speeches over Zoom. However, instead of having a small laptop up in the venue, we actually projected the Zoom video up on a big screen to make everyone feels their presence closer.
The biggest challenge was the tight setup time that we were given. We are used to racing with time but this one was by far the tightest. In order to mitigate the issue, our team has done additional research on some technical parts and ensure we have achieved everything required before the deadline.
Here is a quick rundown of the set up on the day:
We set up the live stream control room indoor at Dunbar House, just right across the ceremony spot for close proximity. We also arrived few hours prior to set up and test the transmission of video and audio signals.
3x cameras set up with professional angles switching. Walkie-talkies were used to communicate amongst videographers to ensure smooth scene transitions.
The speeches given by the bride’s mum and best friend on zoom were projected on the big screen.
Working closely with the wedding Master of Ceremony (MC), all formalities were broadcasted.
We broadcasted the first five minutes of the dance party, the guests on Zoom had some dance move altogether with the couple.
Hope this will give a clearer picture for anyone who is interested in the process of a livestream event.
