I love watching a wedding between two best friends and Kim & Falko's special day was just that. Their vows and speeches were a testament to not only a romantic love but a deep friendship that has happened through time and commitment. Many laughs were shared on this day, and it was such a delight to capture this day that I forgot that what I was doing was considered a job. Thanks for choosing me! I wish you the greatest happiness in the years to come.

Casual weddings are most often a style used in backyard weddings, but we also see it at beach or tented weddings. For the attire, brides may want to wear a tea-length dress or jumpsuit. Grooms should stick to lighter shades, like tan, and toss the jacket.

Consider serving drinks prior to the ceremony to get your guests in a party mood!

Need vendors for your casual wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A casual wedding is playful, fun and great for weddings with a smaller guest list. The ceremony is often outdoors or hosted in a backyard and we love the thought of using benches for the seating to really keeps the formality to a minimum. String lights are a must!

With a more informal celebration, you can really get creative with the menu and play with your décor. There's no need for china or chargers at a casual reception so have fun with the place settings, like a patterned or textured placemat. As for food, comfort food is a no-brainer. Try an elevated version like mini chicken and waffles or shooters of tomato soup with tiny grilled cheese bites on the side. We encourage you to consider family-style dining as opposed to a formal plated dinner.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your casual wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

Videographer

Film maker, father of three, surfer and I pride myself on not being able to sit still - life's a party! My name is Zac, and film making has always been what I love to do. Over the last 10 years I have travelled around the world on my own and more recently with my loving wife Kate. The packing list was always pair of boardies, a surfboard, a blank map and a camera. We then had to add a nappy bag and porta cot for our little nippers Ella, Van and Luca, but the camera and thirst for adventure always remained. On these intrepid journeys I took every opportunity to capture the places, the people and the moments that we would only live through once. Your wedding day is exactly the same. With my style I aim to capture all those moments that you want to remember. Not focusing too much on the flowers, the dress, the shoes or the decorations, you can relive all those things through a photo. In 20 years you will want to hear the sound of your grandfathers voice, remember the loving words your partner said to you, and laugh at Aunty Shenna cutting shapes on the dance floor.What I provide is a raw chronological edit of your day, I am a fly on the wall and shoot it as it comes with no Peter Jackson like direction. Being a teacher by trade I know the importance of a good narrative and I have a strong storyteller, documentary style approach. I blend the narrative and visual to tell your own personal love story and give you something to show your grandkids how cool you really were.

We want you to enjoy the day fully assured that all those precious moments are being captured.
