You know that amazing wedding scene in the introduction? The one where Peter and Juliet get married and just as they're walking back down the aisle, their guests cheering, a gospel choir led by Lynden David Hall appears singing the Beatles' 'All You Need is Love?' That scene always gives me goosebumps; the power of the music, the love in the room and the surprise on their faces as the choir is revealed and musicians appear amongst the guests! Well, Christianne and James's wedding reminded us so much of this scene! The day was filled with 'goosebump moments', from the beautiful 'first look' to the love in their eyes as they made their vows to each other under a stunning arch of bougainvillea, to their first dance under a blanket of twinkling stars, to a perfect sparkling send off, all set to the most amazing live soundrack! It was absolutely magical! We are so excited to share their incredible wedding with you all! ♥</div><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/224421495"/><div>Videographer: Barn Owl Films</div><div>Photographer: Nina Claire Photography</div><div>Bride's getting ready location: The Langham, Sydney</div><div>Groom's getting ready location: Cutthroats Barbershop, Coogee</div><div>Ceremony Venue: The Grounds of Alexandria</div><div>Celebrant: Stef the Celebrant</div><div>Reception Venue: The Grounds of Alexandria</div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Why we film with vintage cameras</title><description><![CDATA[We LOVE vintage cameras and we LOVE to film using super8 and 16mm film!

We just LOVE it!</div><div>Every reel of film is so unique! We love how it flickers and burns yellow and orange at the end of the reel. We love that every frame and every reel is a surprise - you never know what marks may appear on screen. You just can't create that magic and mystery digitally. We love that super 8 film has to be developed and keeps the process of film development alive. We love that every reel that's developed has unique colouration. It's all so exciting! </div><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/153350350"/><div>'Love in Super 8' - a compilation of some of our Super 8 footage.</div><div>We're so lucky to come from families who have passed down their Super 8 and 16mm cameras to us - the very cameras that filmed family weddings and retro road trips. We love that we get to continue tradition by using these same cameras at weddings today ♥ How special is that!</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/70d760_46b67f939a5c42ca8fb34a2e4e5ca478~mv2.png"/><div>Kris filming with 'Bolly' at the beautiful Bendooley Estate, Berrima, Southern Highlands.</div><div>(We name all of our fabulous cameras!

As both families travelled across the globe years apart, they have always kept in contact and caught up for summer lunches, Friday night roasts and Jane/Jes playdates (otherwise known as danceathons!)</div><div>Two years ago Jane and Kelso asked us whether we'd film their beautiful wedding. Kris and I both film makers, have an obsessive collection of vintage Super 8 and 16mm cameras which we'd always used to film our holidays with, and Jane and Kelso were excited to have their day captured both on digital and super 8 film. </div><div>It was the most incredible honour to capture these two love birds tying the knot! We couldn't wipe the smiles off of our faces (and the tears from our eyes!) ♥ They were married in the beautiful grounds of Sydney Polo Club amongst family and friends from across the globe with a personalised ceremony that combined traditions from both of their backgrounds (there's nothing like a good breaking of the glass!)</div><div>The grounds were spectacular with so many beautiful barns and fields to explore, and of course.. horses! SO many beautiful horses willing to have a pat and sneaky feed. We had so much fun documenting Jane, Kelso and their bridal party as they celebrated with champagne and confetti! The celebrations continued well into the night with vintage cocktails, lawn games and a killer live band under the starry Sydney sky and with many an impromptu singalong. Check out their wedding highlights reel below as well as a snippet of Jane being spontaneously serenaded by Kelso, groomsmen and mates!</div><div>Happy Anniversary Jane &amp; Kelso and thank you for starting us on this fabulous journey! ♥</div><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/127347907"/><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/127483811"/></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
