A civil wedding, as most think of it, often takes place at a courthouse, but it can be held anywhere, as long as it's not a house of worship. If you and your partner would like a creative or non-traditional ceremony, a civil ceremony is the perfect style of wedding for you.

A civil wedding allows you complete freedom to write your own vows or include your own traditions without any restrictions.

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

A civil wedding is very straight-forward. While many people may think this style of wedding is limited to a courthouse ceremony, in fact, it's simply any nonreligious legal ceremony with a legal official acting as officiant, as opposed to a religious one.

Civil weddings have no religious affiliation and a government or civil official must preside over their ceremony, as opposed to a religious figure. This style of wedding is not only for those who aren't religious but could be perfect for couples who come from two very different faiths or for those who do not want to be bound by any religious restrictions. In the case of the latter, couples can then have a more traditional ceremony later. 

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

There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

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

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

We are Andrew + Grace // Lovers, filmmakers and travellers // Australia based // Internationally inclined //A story is only as good as the person who tells it, and we've spent years becoming master storytellers, professional spinners of shite and maestros of getting all the good stories out of your mum (yes even the ones you made her promise not to tell). This ain't business it's personal, it's the history of how you met your lobster and lived to tell the tale- let's get personal.Let us celebrate what makes you too weird or too normal, let us happy dance to our differences. We are not that business that post only their 'best weddings', we share every single one of our films because we believe in every single one of our couples. Come forth the awkward, the quiet, the loud, the shoey drinkers and tea sippers - whatever your schtick we'll make you a film that is unapologetically you.

I'm Sam and I film fun weddings for fun people.How lucky am I?!Your wedding film should shout “THIS IS US! THIS IS WHO WE ARE!”I’m here to make sure that happens and that your wedding film is here to represent who you are - for real.Every wedding is different, truly and wonderfully unique. That in and of itself is worth celebrating and there’s one sure reason your wedding will be unique - the people.Those people are what make your wedding ‘your wedding’ - you, your fiancé, and all of those awesome people you're inviting!People bring life, they bring personality. People are the reason we laugh, the reason we cry, and the reason we get up and embarrass ourselves on the dance floor (maybe the last bit’s just me)I'm not here to create a wedding film that ignores the people and feels just like the last wedding video you watched. I’m here to seek out those honest moments and everything that normally slips through the cracks.A film to represent you and your person.Making fun wedding films for fun people just like you!

About Me: Preserving Your Love Story on Film
Hello, I'm Gregory, and my journey into the world of motion images began during my travels when I picked up a camera to capture fleeting moments and transform them into cherished clips. It didn't take long for me to realise that this was my true passion.

A Dedication to Craft and Love
Since then, I've dedicated myself to honing my craft in wedding films. I hold a Bachelor of Film & TV, and I've had the privilege of documenting authentic love stories across Australia and beyond. Each wedding I've been part of has been a unique journey, and I've been fortunate to witness the power of love in its many forms.

Capturing the Essence of Your Special Day
For me, capturing the essence of life's most romantic moments – the joy, love, nerves, and excitement of your wedding day – is a deeply cherished endeavour. I believe in preserving not just the images but the emotions, the laughter, and the tears that make your day truly special. My style is timeless, transcending trends and remaining relevant through the years.

Crafting Your Unique Wedding Film
Your wedding day reflects your unique love story, and I approach each project with a personal touch. I believe in getting to know the couples I work with, understanding their vision, and weaving their personalities into the narrative of their wedding film.

Let's Create Something Beautiful Together
If you're looking for someone who is not just a videographer but a storyteller who will work closely with you to ensure your wedding video reflects your love and journey together, then I'd be honoured to work with you. Together, we can create a cinematic masterpiece you'll treasure forever.

Gregory Films

Weddings are a smorgasbord of joyous connection. A monumentous intimate celebration. Your love bouncing off the walls, lighting up the people around you, sparking wide eyed grins, happy tears and dance floor mayhem. I want you to see that. I want you to feel that. Long after the tables are packed up and the dress has been put away, I want to take you back there. As both a photographer and a filmmaker, it's my job to help you remember how it felt, and create a time capsule that can catapult you right back there in an instant.Your wedding day is a celebration, not a production. It’s brimming with authentic moments - joy, laughter, tears - that will seemingly fly past you on the day. Let me slow them down and hand them back. Real moments, real feelings, for life.
