Wedding videography in Queenstown

Films for couples marrying in Queenstown and Central Otago, from an elopement for two on a ridgeline to a full celebration by the lake. Filmed without fuss, finished like cinema.

Wedding film trailer

Watch one of our wedding films

A three-minute trailer from one of our weddings: the first look on the beach, getting ready, the ceremony, the speeches and the dance floor.

The film is how you will remember the day

Photos hold a moment. A film holds the sound of it: your partner's voice cracking halfway through the vows, the room going quiet before the first speech, the noise when the dance floor opens. That is what couples tell us they rewatch.

We bring the kit and habits of our commercial and documentary work to weddings: cinema cameras, considered composition, proper audio and a real colour grade. What we leave behind is the production circus. Long lenses, a small footprint and no staged moments, so your guests forget we are there.

Included in every wedding film

A proper grade

Colour finished to suit the light you actually had, whether that was alpine sun or a moody lakeside evening, rather than a one-click filter.

Audio you can hear

Microphones on the people who matter for the vows and speeches, mixed so every word comes through.

Music you can share

A licensed soundtrack chosen for your film, cleared for personal use and posting online.

A clip for socials

A short vertical cut with captions, made to play well with the sound off.

An online gallery

Your films arrive in a private link to download and pass on to family overseas.

Filming weddings in the Queenstown Lakes

We film all over the Queenstown Lakes: beside Lake Wakatipu, out at Glenorchy, in Arrowtown, among the Gibbston vineyards, and at Jack's Point with the Remarkables behind. Each place has its own light and its own logistics, from ferry times to how far guests walk from the car park.

Central Otago weather can turn inside an hour, so we plan the portrait time around the forecast and keep a covered option ready. If you want the venue from above, aerial footage can be added once the CAA clearance and landowner's consent are in place.

Marrying somewhere else in New Zealand, or across the Tasman? We will come to you.
