Why Venue Choice Matters for Film & Photo
Each venue brings its own lighting, textures, and rhythm — all of which shape how your wedding is captured. As someone who’s filmed at all of the above (and many more), I help couples plan their timeline around each location’s unique flow — whether it’s chasing golden light through the gum trees or slipping away for rooftop portraits in the Valley.
