OVERVIEW

We’re so glad you made it here and discovered our not so secret passion. We’re a young team of storytellers from Sydney capturing honest, genuine moments; from the heart.

Focused on human connection we’re passionate about shooting couples who are over the moon excited for their day and making it as memorable as possible.

Simple packages tailored to the young at soul generations giving ease of mind and low stress stills and video for your wedding.

We’ll grab a drink with anyone and discuss how best we can match up and make sure you know we’re going to be just another set of close friends joining in the celebrations.

We’d love for you to explore; see some of our work; review our packages; and then reach out to chat with us. Let’s talk about how we can make your wedding the most memorable day of your lives.

About

Hey! I’m Mitch. I love baseball, comedy shows, skiing but more importantly, I love people. I couldn’t even begin to imagine doing anything besides telling our couples’ stories. Not to sound cheesy but it’s a pretty great feeling when you finally find the one thing you want to do for the rest of your life. Starting With Heart with my two best friends was the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Ever since then I have loved every second of everyday and never looked back.

FAQ

We don’t like to impose time restrictions on your wedding day! That’s why we’ve opted to give you a massive 10 hours so you’re going to have us as early as needed until as late as wanted. Wouldn’t we both hate it if we missed capturing something because we’d run away. We don’t want you compromising time schedules to accommodate a tight coverage restriction, instead bask in the joy that comes with your wedding day. However we understand certain engagements may tend to run longer then 10 hours so we do offer additional hours at a rate of $330 per hour for individual packages and $550 per hour for photography & videography.

This is easily the question we’re asked the most and as any of our shooters will say; we’re in the exact same boat. For the most part we’re shooting entirely guerrilla, snapping candid, honest moments and letting the day flow naturally. Eventually when it does comes to location shots, of course we’ll give you some loose direction depending on how comfortable you are, however we just want to encourage you guys to be yourselves and relax. WE LOVE capturing people in fun/silly/romantic poses, but we really thrive on capturing people being their natural selves – Laughing, chatting and getting down on the dance floor (you know, the good stuff).

Absolutely! We chat with everyone before they make their booking to ensure we’re the perfect match. If you’re a local we’ll organise a time at ‘The Baron’ (or anywhere that tickles your fancy) to pop down for some cool brews and discuss the details. However we know for a number of our clients this isn’t possible, in which case we can arrange a Skype date or phone call that suits you.

All of our shooters utilise the leading camera technology and consistently update our equipment to match emerging trends. Each Photographer operates a range of professional Canon bodies for our photography (Canon 1Dx II’s & 5D IV’s for the camera nerds) and full frame Sony mirrorless for our Cinematographers (A7sII’s & A7III’s again for the camera nerds). Each kit is complimented with a range of the best lenses but we won’t bore you with the rather large list here, feel free to chat to us when enquiring about your day.

Group photo lists are great, detailed lists of every shot throughout the day, not so much. We take a photojournalistic approach capturing the day as it unfolds naturally. A shot list takes the spontaneity out of the images and hinders our creative ability. By all means send us some examples of shots you like, but leave those small details to us.

We always aim to deliver a few photos for your social media platforms so you and your friends have something to admire straight away. After that you can usually expect your edited images and/or video back in 4-6 weeks. We of course will keep you up to date as to how they are doing and when you can expect them! Obviously certain times of the year can lead to longer delays but it’s because we spend a lot of time making sure your photos and videos are perfect.

Yes we do! We try our best to ensure we capture as much personal audio from the day as we can. From the personalised letters in the morning to the tender speeches at the end of the night. If the opportunity presents itself we love to incorporate key audio from the day into our video highlight. However we are restricted in what we can guarantee as we are dependant on the location, audio equipment present and timing of events. Talk to us about this when you enquire for more information.

Throughout the day we listen to the music you have chosen, to get a sense of what you like, and what suits you and the feel of the day. Whilst popular songs may make a great soundtrack to your special day, we don’t believe in using other people’s work without paying for it, as we know how much work they put into creating their craft. Unfortunately really famous artists’ and their work can cost upwards of $1000 to license.  Instead, we license music from talented emerging artists from around Australia and the world for a small fee that’s built into the price of the film. By doing this you’re not only supporting some extremely talented artists, but also removing any hassle of the video becoming blocked on sites such as YouTube and Facebook because of copyright.

Of course we are more then happy for you to select your own music! We want to cater our work to your needs & create content that you’ll be happy with forever. Let us know if you are interested in picking your own song and we can discuss further.

We can’t stress enough the best time for location shots is where the sun is a little lower. During the middle of the day through to mid afternoon is when the sun is at it’s highest and can be a bit of a pain. It tends to cast some pretty harsh unflattering shadows resulting in squinty photos and highly contrasted skin tones. If you can, aim for a time where the sun is at a lower angle, particularly for your portrait session. The Golden Hour (the last hour of light before sunset) is prime portrait time. If we can’t work that into your day we hope we can steal you away at your reception for some sunset fun.

Mitch & Josh are so incredible at what they do. We were so nervous at first about being in front of cameras all day at our wedding, but they made it fun and candid the whole time and produced some remarkable images. They made us feel so comfortable like we were the only people there and we honestly got to a point where we forgot there were cameras on us. Can't recommend highly enough

The simplest way we can write this review is to say that Mitch genuinely cares. He took a lot of time in the planning phase to understand our likes and dislikes and really try to tease out our vision for the day. Mitch was also very valuable for the fun and energy he brought to the day. He really balanced out the need to get through formalities with having some fun and making sure we had a natural flow to the event and photos. We genuinely can't wait to see the photos.

Mitch and Josh are honestly so incredible at what they do! They are true artists. My husband Jack and I got married last December. We had such a magical wedding day and Mitch and Josh captured it perfectly. Our wedding photos and video was so beautiful and we loved reliving those special moments. It felt like we didn't have to make an effort to get such beautiful photos, Jack and I are both a little shy at times and Jack particularly doesn't like to get his photo taken but both Mitch and Josh made it stress free and super relaxed. We felt no pressure at all and had such a fun day spending time with them. Our family and friends were so impressed with how involved they were with everyone! Defiantly recommend and they will certainly be hearing from our friends and family for future weddings! Thanks again With Heart!
