Sunnyside Films

Our films are cinematic, nostalgic and deeply personal, with a touch of vintage magic thrown in for good measure.

We love capturing the feeling of a wedding day, the in-between moments and all the little details you’ll want to remember: The nervous bits before the ceremony; your friends losing their minds on the dance floor; the way your dad looks at you when you walk down the aisle; half-finished glasses of champagne; a really good song playing at exactly the right moment.

Our style sits somewhere between documentary and editorial, with natural, candid storytelling balanced with beautifully composed imagery.

Our collections are built around one main idea: telling the story of your wedding in a way that feels like you two.

Depending on the collection, you might receive a cinematic highlight film, full ceremony and speeches, Super 8mm footage, a shorter teaser, your online film gallery and our La Historia session.

La Historia is our more intentional couple session, where we spend a little time together away from the wedding day creating something that feels cinematic, personal and a little bit like a scene from a film. We weave that footage into your wedding film alongside everything that happened on the day.

Our collections vary depending on how much of your day you’d like us to tell, so we’re always happy to talk through the options and point you towards the one that feels right for you.

Our collections begin from around $4,900 for intimate coverage, with full day and destination collections available at a higher investment.

We don’t really believe in one-size-fits-all wedding films. Some couples want a little snapshot of the day, while others want us there from getting ready in the morning through to the last dance.

If you send us your date, location and roughly how much of the day you’d like captured, we’ll happily point you towards the collection that makes the most sense for you and send through our current pricing.

Absolutely! We’re based in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, but we love an excuse to pack the cameras and go somewhere new.

We’ve filmed weddings across Australia, New Zealand and Europe, and destination weddings have taken us to some very special places. We especially love the idea of making a wedding film that captures not just the celebration, but a sense of where you are too.

Travel is built into our destination collections, so no surprise travel costs at the end.

We recommend getting in touch as soon as you have your date and venue locked in, particularly if you’re planning a Saturday wedding or a destination/elopement.

We deliberately keep our calendar fairly small. Wedding films take a lot of time before, during and long after the wedding day, so we’d rather make fewer films and give each one the attention it deserves.

That said, if you’re planning something soon, ask. Sometimes the stars align and we may have your date waiting for you.

We genuinely love working alongside photographers. We see the two as different ways of preserving the same day, and the best results happen when everyone is working together.

We’re pretty relaxed and unobtrusive on the day. We won’t be constantly pulling you away from your guests or making you recreate moments for the camera. We’re looking for what’s already happening: the glances, the hugs, the chaos, the movement and all those little things that happen between the big moments.

We’ll communicate with your photographer throughout the day so everyone can get what they need, while you get to actually enjoy your wedding.

We don’t really want to make you a wedding video…

We want to make you a film! Maybe that sounds pretentious? It’s something that feels like an old home movie: full of movement, music, voices, laughter, atmosphere and all the tiny details you’ve forgotten about (or missed amongst it all!).

Our films combine documentary-style storytelling with a cinematic, nostalgic aesthetic, weaving in the imperfect, beautiful texture of Super 8mm film.

We’re not interested in making every wedding look the same. We want the good stuff: your people, your weird traditions, your dad’s terrible dance moves (alright, we’ll admit, every wedding has this).

Years from now, we want you to press play and feel like you’re right back there again!
