MELBOURNE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER

We’ve videoed weddings at beaches, in churches, hotels, courthouses, backyards and barns, and there’s always something about heading into the big city that makes me giddy! Maybe it’s the fact that we grew up in the city and feel at home there or the fact that cities are always buzzing with energy.

Some wedding photographers may not enjoy the whole city vibe because it means you have a lot more elements to deal with – such as bright orange cones or a sea of pedestrians – but we say bring it on! Which is EXACTLY what we did for a lot of beautiful city weddings, which we photographed smack dab in the middle of the Melbourne CBD area.

Not only full of many amazing backdrops, such as landmarks, gardens, lake and beach, but there are also tons of unique and special hidden places to fit your personal taste and wedding day ideas.

We love the urban vibe, the venues, the details, the party – and we especially love all the couples we worked with! Congrats, lovebirds!

Are wedding videos worth it?

While there’s no doubt that a wedding photo is a joy to look back on, a wedding video captures things that an image simply cannot. Replaying your wedding video can bring your memories vividly back to life, years after you say "I do". It’s the closest thing you have to reliving your big day. Here are six reasons why you should immortalise your big day in both video and photo:

1. Video adds another dimension

The sound of the groom gasping as he first sees the bride. The clinking of glass during the father-of-the-bride’s toast. And of course, all of the music, movement and romance of that first dance. All of these moments work better on video. Our videographers are skilled at capturing both motion and sound in beautifully styled footage that will make the perfect accompaniment to your wedding photography.

2. You’ll be able to share your day with those who couldn’t make it

A wedding video is also a great way of sharing your day with friends or relatives who couldn’t be there to celebrate with you. We can deliver your video in super shareable formats that can be easily sent on to loved ones, or uploaded onto platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. Let us know if you’d like a special wedding video clip to share on social media, too.

3. We’ll professionally edit your wedding video to showcase all of your best bits

Our videography team will not only capture the raw footage of your big day, we also take great pride in professionally editing your wedding video to showcase all of the best bits. The end product is a well-lit, stylishly shot and beautifully coloured wedding movie that captures the sweetest moments of your love story, from start to finish.

4. You’ll have every little detail covered

At Lavan Photography we care about all the little things. You’ve worked hard to plan your wedding and make it unique, which is why our photographers and videographers make it their job to capture every special moment.

From your handpicked flowers to your unique table plans, stylish menus and quirky signage, our team will be on hand to immortalise everything that made your day so individual to you.

5. You’ll discover all the behind-the-scenes moments you missed

Any couple will tell you that your wedding day will go by in a flash, but our wedding videographers are skilled at capturing all those special behind-the-scene moments that you might miss as a busy bride or groom. It’s extremely rewarding watching your guests enjoy your celebrations, seeing their reaction as you walk up the aisle or watching them tear up as you say your vows. 

Our documentary-style videos will let you relive it all from a different perspective, discovering moments you didn’t even know happened. 

From your grandmother’s expression when she first sees you in your dress, to seeing the bridesmaids make their entrance – as well as those priceless moments when the drinks start flowing and your guests start dancing – our team will be there to capture all of the tears and all of the laughter.

6. You can easily define your unique style across both photography and film

At Lavan Photography we realise that style is integral to crafting a memorable story of your wedding and we use both video and photography to tell your story, your way. Vintage, classic, earthy or rustic – we’ll work with you to define a creative style that fits the aesthetic of your wedding.
