Welcome to Long Story Shot Weddings. Please watch this quick sequence to see what we do and how our approach can be different from a typical wedding video.

Stacy + Blake

Chapel Ridge. Central Coast. New South Wales
Full Day Wedding Highlights Film.


Watch what can be achieved in one full day of filming of Stacy and Blake's wedding. Chapel Ridge in the Central Coast provided with an excellent experience and a beautiful background.

Endless grasslands, generously spaced out areas to accomodate and make guests feel relaxed, a fireplace and a military truck to drive around the property... it doesn't get much better, does it?

"... I vow to always seek connection with you... emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I vow to love you passionately through all seasons of life..."

Documentary style Highlights Film. We started filming a day prior to the wedding allowing us to capture those heartfelt moments with the couple and their loved ones

It’s needless to say video helps to sell, however it is quality video that attracts buyers and ensures the property stands above the rest. Despite the fact that some buy real estate based on dry numbers and graphs, majority are looking for a property to call home, therefore appearances matter.

We arrived in Tamworth one day prior to meet the couple and spend a little time with their family. While Steph and Scott were rehearsing their ceremony with the priest, a few amazing moments were born. Needless to say, the small interviews we had with them resulted in some touching memories caught on camera.

There’s nothing like the slow-paced countryside, the vastness, and the heart of Australia. It’s an atmosphere you can feel, people you want to spend time with.

"... My advice to them as they embark on this beautiful journey called marriage is to never sweat the small stuff. Life will throw curve balls, but remember it's the home runs that count...(Best Man)"

Concept

" WHAT WE DO"

Our signature is to create something deeper than a standard wedding video. To achieve this, we have a method in place that allows us to nail it every single time. In simple terms, without giving away our secret sauce, we meet with you before the big day and let the camera roll. This could be during your engagement photoshoot, a family gathering, or the day before your wedding, when everyone you love is nearby and emotions are running high. We call it simply - "Get Me Gold". However, we also create stunning films focused solely on the day of the wedding.


" PHOTOGRAPHY"

We offer photography as part of our Hybrid Elopement Package, designed to capture your day in the same documentary style as our films. With both photography and videography included, you’ll receive a cohesive and authentic visual narrative that captures every special moment as it naturally unfolds. It is also an incredible value that is hard to beat.

Outside of this we can get Anna Murray Photography on board to help you with photography regardless of your Film preferences.

Typically, we’ll meet during your engagement photoshoot or just before your wedding day or both. During that time, we’ll conduct brief interviews with your loved ones and capture moments of you in a setting different from your wedding day.

After filming your wedding, we’ll use all the footage to craft a Documentary film that’s sure to touch everyone who sees it.
Want to have more control? You only pay for what you need. Pricing can be easily determined once we understand the extent of coverage and the depth of storytelling you're looking for.

Feel free to use our price calculator. The Estimate will be carried over to a contact form. Whether your ideas are a bit more complex, please let us know.  

Couples tell us how quickly their wedding day passes — a blur of  moments that can be hard to remember fully.

That's the beauty of our films. They're treasured time capsules, allowing you to relive every detail. As the years go by, their worth only increases.

Imagine someday sharing the laughter, the tears, and those glances with your children, making them feel as if they were right there with you.

“Couldn’t recommend Ivan enough! He captured our wedding day in March and tonight we sat down and relived the moment all over again. He truly captured the essence of our day, and tonight I found myself tearing up smiling at his masterpiece. Not only is he super talented but he has been an absolute breeze to work with. We are beyond happy that we chose him, because now I have these memories for ever, and that in itself is priceless.”
