The Crane Estate

Oak & Pine Media

From our first meetup with Chelsie and Peter over some beers, we knew their day was going to be one for the books. Their shared love of music, film, and comedy quickly had our gears turning for a concept around their film. That mixed with their perfect curation of a beautifully elegant wedding and some down right fun party vibes, made this one of our all time favorite films to edit. All set to the gorgeous backdrop of the Crane Estate, a perfect blend of beauty and good energy. 

They have that contagious, genuine energy you just want to be around. We really wanted this edit to reflect Chelsie and Peter as individuals to show how together they make up the perfect pair.
