Behind the scenes

This is our first ever behind the scenes footage of Craig and myself shooting a wedding. This wedding was Kate & Tom's on the 29th December 2009. We hope you enjoy seeing us work!



For the videographers out there, Craig has also put together a short clip detailing some of our equipment. It was too long for the above presentation but should be up soon. Just keep an eye on our blog for details.

Robert & Cara - 27th November 2009

Cara and Robert's wedding was last Friday at Saint John Paul Parish in Willetton and the reception was held at the Swan Yacht Club East Fremantle.



I loved these stick on's that Cara had on the bottom of her shoes! How cool are they??? Definitely a cool way to have something blue incorporated into your outfit.


The photographer Rob Watson from Selected Impressions set up some really cool shots on the day, like this one of the bride's brother Ryan doing some tricks on the skateboard.

Cara and Rob did a really awesome first dance. It was so good we had to put part of it up on our blog. Congratulations on a beautiful wedding guys.

Silas & Penny 27th September 2009

The first wedding of the season was on Sunday 27th September which was Silas and Penny's beautiful wedding day. It was an early start with the ceremony starting at 10am in the hidden gardens of Caversham House. We then went off to both Silas and Penny's parent's houses for the tea ceremonies and too much food! Craig and I ate so much that we needed to be rolled away! Absolutely delicious.




The very talented Craig from Cooper Photography did all of these wonderful set ups on the photo session. We went to Jetty Road in Claremont, UWA and Kings Park Scarp. Penny and Silas were very photogenic and made all of our jobs very easy. I just loved Penny's bouquet it was absolutely gorgeous.



I love this little moment that Penny and Silas had in the car together just before leaving the photo location. This picture is poorly framed but I just love this moment between them.


Silas and Penny's amazing cake. It really had the WOW factor!


The video featured above is Silas and Penny's wedding video trailer. They are having another ceremony overseas for family and friends that could not attend. They wanted to have something to show their guests about their wedding in Perth, so the trailer was perfect for them.

Mark & Lisa 28th February 2009

Mark and Lisa's wedding was the last for us for the season. What a way to go out in style, there was bling, bling and more bling! Mark & Lisa's wedding was held at St George's Cathedral in Perth and the reception was in the marquee at Frasers Restaurant.

It was beautifully planned by the amazing Cathrin from CD Weddings, for more details on this wedding and how to make your wedding more unique check out her blog. Much thanks goes out to Tasj and Des from NK Photography for these amazing images, wow!

Mark and Lisa just wanted to relax and have a good time, so they chose the Onyx bar for their photo location. It was a great way to escape the heat of the day and to have some food and drinks in air con.

Here is Mark and Lisa's wedding trailer. We love doing wedding trailers as it is a way to preview the wedding shortly after their wedding day, prior to receiving their full DVD edit.

Adam & Esmee 21st February 2009

Adam and Esmee's wedding was held last Saturday 21st February at St Patrick's Church in Fremantle and the reception was held at Esmee's parents home in Mandurah. Never before have Craig and I experienced a beautiful array of flowers and I'm sure we never will again. The gorgeous scent hit you as you walked towards the house.

It was beautifully planned by the amazing Cathrin from CD Weddings, we absolutely adore working with her. You have to check out her blog! Jen and her assistant Emidio from Anna Rose Photography had Craig and I in stitches for the whole day and as you can see from these gorgeous images they are extremely talented.

Esmee and Adam are a perfect match and were just so much fun to be around the whole day. You could really see how much they are in love in the footage.

We are parents!!! -The birth of Jasmine Grace

This is our beautiful little baby girl Jasmine Grace Turner born on the 7th of November 2008 at Rockingham General Hospital weighing 3.18kg (7 pounds) She arrived at 11.39am after 9 hours of labour. We are all doing very well and Kristen is even back to filming weddings! Thank you all for your well wishes and support, it is most appreciated.

We have created the following short tribute video of Jasmine, it only runs for 2 minutes.

Craig Shortlisted for host of Top Gear Australia & our prize Top Gear Europe Trip.

Well this is news that has managed to evade our blog up until now as we were waiting to see how it panned out exactly. Craig was excited to recently have been short listed as a potential host of the motoring TV program “Top Gear Australia”
The SBS incarnation of the popular BBC motoring program ran an open casting call in a search to un-earth new talent to fill the Australian Equivalent roles of Clarkson, Hammond and May (hosts of the popular UK Top Gear) The nation wide call out resulted in over 4000 video applications Australia wide.

Although unsuccessful at making the final cut, Craig was honored to be one of the few shortlisted to meet with the shows producers and to been one of the youngest to be considered for the role.
The application consisted of written and video components and as some of you may know Craig and I were over the moon last year to win a business class trip to London for our Top Gear Competition video clip entry. Once the producers had reviewed this they contacted Craig early in the process and kept in regular contact to ensure he was applying.

Everything worked out for best in the end as shortly after Craig's interview we were delighted to find out that I was pregnant with a baby girl. The shows producers said if successful it would have required a lot of time away from home and a possibly a move to Sydney which would have have been very difficult with a baby on the way.

For those unfamiliar with our original top gear video and London trip I have posted the video below.
The previous competition called for viewers to discuss their own car in a “top gear” style manner so I filmed Craig taking a “tongue and cheek” look at our 1975 Chrysler Galant. This video won via a public vote! This laid the early foundation for what later became his audition video.

Our business class tickets to London last year represented a fantastic opportunity to see some of Europe so we ended up taking a few weeks off and with my sister and brother in law, we visited the UK (London, Greenwich and Bath) France (Paris), Italy (Rome, The Vatican City) and Greece (Athens, Larissa, Nei Pori and Platamonis) where we caught up with relations.
We had the time of our lives.

Mark & Brenda 11th October 2008

Mark and Brenda's wedding was on Saturday the 11th October 2008 and what a beautiful wedding it was. The ceremony was held at St Mary's Catholic Church in Leederville and the reception was held at the Parmelia Hilton, Perth
























Brenda is such a striking, beautiful woman, she just shone in front of the camera. She made our job very easy. After the simple but beautiful ceremony, the photographers, Chevaughn and David from Portraits of Love, took the bridal party to UWA for photos. Mark and Brenda are such fun and friendly people that the day just went so fast. It turns out that Mark and Craig went to the same high school but were in different grades!

I love this photo, it looks like Mark and Brenda were celebrities and we were the paparazzi hounding them, well to us they were celebrities!



I absolutely loved Mark & Brenda's wedding cake, made by Kakes By Karen. It was designed around Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding cake with a few minor changes. Wow what an amazing cake and Brenda was nice enough to organise for us to take some home! It was just as yummy as it looked.























Here is Mark and Brenda's wedding trailer. For those who are new to the concept it is basically a preview clip which the couple receive shortly after their wedding day, prior to receiving their full DVD edit.

David and Nichola 28th September 2008

David and Nichola's wedding was on Sunday the 28th September 2008 and kicked off the beginning of the wedding season for us. The ceremony and reception was held at a private estate in the beautiful Margaret River. We love videoing weddings down south as the locations are so lush and new to us. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the cloud Gods certainly smiled upon them.

Craig and I were absolutely thrilled to work with Cathrin D'Entremont from CD Weddings again, she is so much fun and makes everyone feel at ease. We just love working with a wedding planner as it makes the wedding day so much smoother and easier. Cathrin handled everything that went on during the day. Having her there meant David and Nichola could enjoy their day without being interrupted by any problems or questions that arose.

After the emotionally charged ceremony, the photographers Stephen and Ros Blakeney took the bridal party to a winery, the beach and this gorgeous Greek Orthodox Church for photos. Nichola is one of the most photogenic brides I have ever seen, she has amazing eyes that just light up when she smiles, David could not stop staring at her the whole day and you couldn't blame him!

Below is David and Nichola's wedding trailer. For those who are new to the concept it is basically a preview clip which the couple receive shortly after their wedding day, prior to receiving their full DVD edit.

Simon & Novia's feedback

We received this lovely feedback from Simon and Novia 2 months ago and I've been meaning to share their beautiful words with you all. I've only just had the opportunity to re visit our blog so I apologise for the lack of updates. Simon and Novia's wedding was held in October last year and it was a small and intimate gathering. It was so beautiful to part of their day and you can really see the love they have for one another in their wedding video trailer.

"Dear Kristen and Craig,

Simply beautiful.
I've just finished watching your work and I've been left speechless.
It's taken me a couple of stiff drinks and excited glances at my lovely wife in order to compose myself and prepare to get all gushy.
What can I say? Is it the clarity, the fantastic editing, the flawless coordination? It's such a marvelous, professional piece of work. It's so much more than we had hoped for and I think Novia and I are both gearing ourselves up to show it repeatedly to all of our friends.
Our wedding day was such a blur for us both. To look at it all again and share these moments has been a very special emotional experience.
I am truly grateful that you shared our happy day together and helped us to re-live this very special day.
Superb work.
Simon.

p.s. Perfect perfect perfect!!! I love it. I cried (again)! The way in which you blended the songs into the video, and picked the right song for the right moment, it was just sooo perfect!! I especially love "Just the two of us". The video truly speaks "More than words can say". As Simon said, our wedding day was such a blur, so it was very emotional and special for us to look at it all again, share these moments and remember how perfect it was. You guys are just so talented! Novia xxxx."

Simon and Novia 28th October 2007

Play Simon and Novia's wedding trailer here

Simon and Novia's wedding was on Sunday the 28^th October 2007. The ceremony was held at St Cecilia's Church in Floreat and the reception was held at the beautiful Oceanus in City Beach. Much to Novia's surprise her morning was beautiful, calm and relaxing. She was ready with time to spare which is a rare occurrence on a wedding day. This gave us a great opportunity to talk as we waited for the photographers Sam and Rebecca to arrive from Kin Photography. Novia looked stunning in her beautiful gown and long veil and she was very photogenic.

It was our first time at St Cecilia's church and it was beautiful and had fantastic light. The celebrant was Father Paul Fogarty and he was an absolute pleasure, he was so friendly and caring and he even told Simon to put on our radio microphone for us! Simon was a little nervous as he awaited his stunning bride to arrive with his best man Simon by his side.

The ceremony was so beautiful and reduced most people in the church to tears *gulp* thanks to Novia's moving vows. Rebecca and Sam then took the bridal party to Cliff Street in Fremantle for some shots against the great architecture. We didn't stay there long as it was blowing a gale, so we quickly headed to Oceanus for the reception. The reception was a small and intimate affair which was very beautiful and the food was just devine! Craig and I left Oceanus waddling down the street to our cars. It was a feast and a half!
