Melbourne Elopement Videography
Elopement videos help you to not only see how your day unfolded but to really feel the emotional memories for years to come. Photographs are fantastic, yes and you can’t hang a video on the wall like you can a framed print. But there is really something very raw and honest about being able to hear the vows you have spoken to each other along with the beautiful motion of the wind in your hair as you take your first steps as a married couple. We believe a combination of photos and film is the best form of wedding storytelling you’ll ever find.
