Rhys & Suzie – Mills Beach – Mornington

By Bretski Photography, Real Wedding, Videographer No Comments

Rhys and Suzie opted to have a small wedding with just close friends and family. They thought what better way to get married than to have an intimate ceremony right on the beach. After looking around most of the beaches around the Mornington Peninsula, they found and fell in love with Mills Beach in Mornington. After some inquiries they found that they could have a ceremony right on the beach and a celebrant to officiate the proceedings in Jessica Edwards – celebrant

Jessica did an absolute fantastic job of performing an intimate ceremony on the beach whereby friends and family found themselves front and centre of the proceedings which was full of fun, laughter and heartfelt gestures.

When Rhys and Suzie first came to us – Jiva Workshop, they wanted some really great photography of their day. They knew they had picked a picturesque setting and wanted their wedding photo’s to not only capture the scenic location but also the love they felt for each other.

Not having shot at the beach before we, went down to Mills Beach in Mornington to scout the location and see what would be the best way to shoot the couple on the beach and surrounds.

We knew we would get some absolutely fantastic shots of the couple with the beach, the beach boxes and the sea, butwe wanted to try something different and get a different angle that most haven’t seen before. That is why we decided to use a drone for photography only. As you can see by using the drone we were able to get shots that no one else would be able to get otherwise.

We were really ecstatic as were Rhys and Suzie at how they turned out and will be using the drone again to get shots that are truly unique.

Real Wedding | Tegan & Shaun | Mount Martha

By Bretski Real Wedding No Comments

Tegan and Shaun first met at Sofia’s Italian Restaurant in Frankston. Although they didn’t get together till much later, they worked together side by side. It wasn’t till after they had both left “Sofia’s” that they ended up hooking up and as they say the rest was history.

When we first met these two love birds and their family (they have two children), it was obvious just how much they loved each other and wanted more than anything to share their love for each other with the world.

They had decided on having the ceremony at “The Mornington Rose Garden” which is pretty much near the centre of Mornington with rows upon rows of carefully manicured roses surrounding a Gazebo in the middle and a lake towards the background that is home to an assortment of ducks and swans.

Getting ready, they decided that it would be easier to do their prep at the same hotel in Mornington at “The Tanti” Hotel. This made it possible to do something which is a little rare where they can have one last moment together before saying their vows to each other without ruining the day by seeing each other fully in person – (see video & photo’s below)

Then finally came time to say “I Do” at the rose garden. Shaun looked incredibly proud and ecstatic at seeing his children make their way to the front of the aisle and when he saw Tegan in her dress – well his eyes absolutely lit up. Seeing her in her dress might have been the reason why he found it difficult to get some of the words right when saying his vows to Tegan, which in itself made for a funny cute moment for the two.

After the ceremony, we went down to the lake and park with all the ducks and swans on display to take some snaps of the newly married couple. It was quite convenient having such a picturesque park nearby to take some great photo’s and video of the two.

Later it was off to The Dava Hotel in Mount Martha. The cocktail reception was held on the rooftop deck which overlooked the stunning Port Phillip Bay, which enabled some great photo’s and scenery as the we were all witness to a fantastic sunset. As night fell and people began to dance to Live Duo that were performing well known acoustic hits. Jaime, Tegan’s sister gave a surprise performance of a song that was specifically for Tegan and Shaun.

It was a magnificent night for a truly fantastic couple, well done and we wish you all the happiness in the world.

Real Wedding – Check Out This Funny Reception Wedding Video We did – Kelly & Ash

By Bretski Photography, Real Wedding, Videographer No Comments

We were contacted by Kelly who had this wonderful idea of doing a pre-reception video inspired by some of the video’s she had seen on Youtube.

Although i hadn’t done anything like this before for a wedding a couple and i had concerns over some of their idea’s. I had done similar things in film school which led me to believe that this is something that i could do and it would be fun.

After hearing her and Ash’s idea’s I decided to get behind it and produce a short film that would be played at the reception for laughs as their guests waited for them to make their grand entrance.

So, I got to work writing the script and after a few changes we finally had something to work with. Shot over 3 weekends and edited as quickly as i could, this is the final product.

Real Wedding – Mark & Zoe

By Bretski Real Wedding, Videographer No Comments

Zoe and Mark first contacted Jiva Workshop to capture the young sweet hearts nuptials so they can remember their day when they were young

and in love and had the world at their feet.

After some consideration they opted to go with the Gold package to capture more of the important elements of the day without eating to far into their budget.

The ceremony was beautiful and took place down overlooking the beach at Mt Eliza and the elements of the day worked so well against the backdrop of a sunset on the beach.

Upon viewing the finished DVD, Mark and Zoe were amazed at the video and were so thankful that i was able to capture more than what they were hoping for.

“I wasn’t sure about this whole video thing, however after seeing it and remembering back on the day you’ve given us so much more than just a DVD. You’ve given us a memory that can be passed on to generations to come” – Mark.

I’m so glad i was able to help you and Zoe and i’m glad it will be an everlasting memoir of one of the happiest days of your life

Congratulations Mark and Thankyou.

Real Wedding – Matt & Courtney – Sorrento

By Bretski Photography, Real Wedding, Videographer No Comments

Matt and Courtney approached Jiva Workshop from after hearing about us through their dj – DJ Pete

Courtney and Matt wanted to capture their special day out of concern that allot of family and friends were interstate and some would not be able to make the event.

So it was incredibly important for Courtney to have a video of the day that they could then show to friends and family that were away and have it done properly.

Matt and Courtney decided on a Beach wedding down at Sorento foreshore where the couple had spent so many happy times together in the past.

The ceremony was beautiful set behind the backdrop of the beach and Port Phillip Bay where we got to find out many funny stories of how the couple fell in love.

With Sally Marks behind the camera as Photographer we then set out to make the most of some of the best Backdrops in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, in and around Sorento

The Reception was held at “The Baths at Sorrento” a cozy little reception centre that is right on the foreshore beach

With DJ Pete behind the helm of the turnatables, the guests enjoyed the rest of the night dancing away.

After viewing the dvd Matt rang me personally to tell me how extremely wrapped they were with the dvd and explained that he was sceptical at first about getting a dvd but was so very glad that they did it

Courtney further wrote to me and explained

“Thankyou so much for doing such a fantastic job on our wedding dvd – we are wrapped!
If you need to give my number out to any perspective people thinking about using you – please feel free to do so!”

and

“Once again, thanks for a wonderful job. Looking back, I cant even remember you being there filming all you did – you were so discreet! It was such a touching moment when we first watched the dvd together and all the precious moments we felt on the day all came flooding back again – only a video can capture that. And putting all the highlights to our favourite songs, just made it that more special. Not to forget your special effects – how awesome were they!!”

I am so very happy that you were pleased with the results and that you thought it was worth it

Thanks again Courtney and Matt
