The questions
couples actually ask.

Across Melbourne, wedding videography runs from around $2,000 for a single shooter with limited hours to $15,000+ for multi-operator luxury studios. Most couples engaging an established studio land between $4,000 and $9,000.

C2 Films film collections begin at $3,995 for eight hours with one cinematographer. Combined photography and film collections begin at $6,995. Full details are on our pricing page — we publish our prices because we'd rather you know before you enquire.

Because the shoot is the smallest part of it. A ten-hour wedding generates somewhere between 500GB and 2TB of footage, and every one of those hours has to be watched, sorted, cut, colour graded, mixed for sound and licensed for music.

A single feature film typically takes 30 to 40 hours of editing. Add two operators on the day, backup equipment, insurance and archival storage, and the day rate you're imagining isn't really a day rate at all.

No. Every collection is all-inclusive. No travel fees within one hour of Melbourne CBD, no overtime surprises, no charge to deliver your files, no extra cost for a second look or a longer ceremony.

The only thing quoted separately is travel beyond that one-hour radius, and it's quoted at cost before you book — never after.

Yes. A deposit secures your date and the balance is due before the wedding. Between those two points we're happy to split payments into instalments that suit you — most couples pay across several months rather than in one hit. Just ask when you book.

Reserve is the only five weddings a year that Marcus personally directs, start to finish. It includes a private pre-wedding consultation, a five-person creative team, a same-day cinematic teaser delivered to your reception screen, a hand-finished heirloom album and a one-year anniversary shoot.

It's by application and priced at $29,995. Every application is read personally by Marcus — read more on the pricing page.

Within 24 hours — your social media reel, a short vertical edit ready to post while the day is still being talked about.

4 to 8 weeks — your full photo gallery and your cinematic feature film.

In peak season this can stretch slightly. If it's going to, we tell you early rather than let a date quietly slide past.

Depending on your collection: a cinematic feature film of two to ten minutes, a lightly edited long-form film covering ceremony and speeches in full, a complete gallery of high-resolution photographs, black and white versions of every image, all raw photographs, and a social media reel delivered the day after.

Everything arrives through a private online gallery you can download from and share with family — hosted by us, and kept for life.

Yes. Every film includes a round of revisions. If a moment matters to you and it isn't there, tell us and we'll work it in.

What we won't do is re-cut a film to a completely different brief after delivery — which is exactly why we talk through what matters to you before the day rather than after.

Your finished films and photographs stay in your private gallery indefinitely — we host it for life, at no cost.

Raw files are archived for six months after delivery, then cleared to make room. If you want anything from the raw footage, ask us inside that window and we'll sort it out.

Honestly — we don't have one, and that's deliberate. A studio with a signature look delivers every couple the same wedding. We'd rather your photographs and your film look like you.

So we design each one around the couple. Before your day you complete a questionnaire about who you are, how you met and what actually matters to you. We share mood boards and sample work, and you tell us what you're drawn to and what leaves you cold. That conversation shapes everything — the way we shoot, how we grade the colour, the pace of the edit, the music underneath it.

The result is that two C2 weddings can look completely different from one another. One couple's film is quiet, warm and observational. Another's is bold, high-energy and cut to the beat. Both are unmistakably ours in craft, and unmistakably theirs in feeling.

No — and after more than three thousand weddings, that's a craft rather than a promise. We know where to stand, when to move and when to disappear entirely.

We don't stage your day, interrupt speeches, or ask anyone to do something twice. The feedback we hear most often is that couples barely noticed we were there until they saw the film.

It depends on the collection. Our eight and ten-hour collections send one cinematographer, or one cinematographer and one photographer for a combined booking. Our twelve-hour Premier collections send two of each.

For large venues like Metropolis or Leonda, more operators genuinely matters — while one holds the room wide, another is finding the quiet moments happening at the edges.

One studio, one team. This is more unusual than it sounds — most couples book two separate vendors who meet for the first time on the wedding morning and then quietly compete for the same angle.

Our photographers and cinematographers have worked together for years. They move as a unit, share a creative direction, and neither ends up in the other's shot.

Suggest away — we always listen. In practice we licence music specifically for film, because commercial tracks can't legally be used in a wedding film and often fight the edit rather than serve it.

If a particular song carries real meaning for you, tell us early and we'll find a way to honour it.

Extensively. Greek and Antiochian Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Lebanese, Macedonian, Italian, Indian and Chinese ceremonies and traditions are all familiar ground.

Knowing the order of a ceremony — when the crowning happens, when the zaffe arrives, when the family blessing takes place — is the difference between capturing a moment and hearing about it afterwards.

Melbourne being Melbourne, we plan for it. Every venue we know well has an indoor fallback we've already used, and rain often produces the most striking images of the day — umbrellas, reflections, softer light.

We've never had a wedding where weather cost a couple their photographs.

Most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead. Peak Saturdays between October and April go first.

That said, if your date is sooner it's always worth asking — cancellations happen, and midweek and winter dates are often still open.

One — you enquire, and we reply personally within one business day.

Two — a relaxed thirty-minute Zoom with Marcus. No pressure, no pitch. We talk through your day and make sure we're genuinely the right fit for each other.

Three — a deposit secures your date, and we handle everything from there.

Yes. No travel fees within an hour of Melbourne CBD. Beyond that we quote travel at cost — never marked up.

We film regularly in Sydney, Brisbane, the Mornington Peninsula and the Yarra Valley, and have shot weddings in Venice, Lebanon and across Asia. Destination weddings are warmly welcomed.

We move your booking to a new date wherever we have availability, with no penalty. It's written into our agreement, not offered as a favour.

We rescheduled a great many weddings from 2020 onward and didn't leave a single couple stranded.

A meal for the team is appreciated on bookings over eight hours, and most venues include supplier meals as standard. Practically speaking, we'd rather eat quickly at the same time as your guests — that way we're back on our feet before the speeches begin.

Every operator carries backup bodies, lenses and audio recorders. Nothing on the day depends on a single piece of equipment continuing to work.

Footage and images are backed up to multiple drives before anyone leaves the venue, then again to separate physical locations once back at the studio.

This is the strongest argument for booking a studio rather than a solo operator. If someone falls ill, another experienced member of the C2 team steps in — same equipment, same standards, same creative direction.

Your wedding is never dependent on one person's health.

Yes — full public liability and equipment insurance. A growing number of venues now require a certificate of currency from every supplier, and we're happy to send ours directly to your venue coordinator. Just tell us who to email.

Three things, honestly. Longevity — trading since 2003, more than 3,000 weddings. Reviews — over 550 verified five-star reviews, which makes us the most reviewed wedding studio in the country. One studio, both crafts — photography and film under a single creative direction, edited in-house rather than outsourced offshore.

What that adds up to is a team that has almost certainly already worked at your venue, and has seen whatever your day decides to throw at it.
