White Cat Media
OVERVIEW
Hi! My name's Adrian and I'm a photographer and videographer. I've been filming weddings for around 15 years.
I specialise in a fly-on-the-wall style with minimal posing. So, for me, it's all about little fleeting moments (which could be funny or quirky or interesting moments) that most people miss.
I think if you watch one of my videos, there's a lot packed in, and there's a lot of heart. It'll seem like you've experienced the entire day, and more than that, hopefully you'll feel something.
And I guess that that's my main pitch to prospective customers -- if watching a video of complete strangers makes you feel something, imagine how much more impactful watching your own video would be.
Please head on over to my website at whitecatmedia.com.au to check out some video samples, some photo samples, and have a read of a blog post or two, where I pull back the curtain on the chaotic and wonderful world of weddings.

About
The company is named after my two white cats, Alice and Topaz. Visit my website to be spammed by cat pics. I like sculpture, philosophy, surrealism, escape rooms, and capturing moments when it feels like the stars align, and everything in an image comes out just so -- the lighting, the composition, the content.

What should we budget for drone footage at our wedding?
Would really love to add this element to our video as we are getting married on a beautiful private property, it's stunning. What should we budget for drone footage?
White Cat Media
I kind of think that, in 2025, it's part of the package now and shouldn't be charged for separately.
Do wedding photographers/videographers charge more on New Year's Eve?
Wondering if there are surcharges for weddings on special dates like this. We're thinking of a NYE wedding.
White Cat Media
Have never heard of anyone charging extra because the wedding falls on a special day, not even if the wedding falls on Christmas Day.
But I have heard of plenty of people who will charge LESS for weekday weddings, or sometimes winter or autumn weddings.

Yep, every video supplier could create a 90s-style video for you! And they'd probably find it fun! Some characteristics of the style:
-- Single camera (rather than multiple cameras getting different angles).
-- Shoulder-mounted. So, it's a bit shaky.
-- Single zoom lens. Whereas many people these days go for no zooming at all.
-- On-camera lighting.
-- Often, in-camera audio and interviews with guests, while most people these days lean towards less natural audio (except for speeches, etc).
-- The actual image is worse quality in a few ways. For instance, it's lower resolution, it's grainier in low light, it's interlaced rather than progressive, and it has lower dynamic range. But this is all part of the retro charm. And all this stuff are things any video editor can recreate during the edit using filters and other tricks.
So, if you genuinely like this look, you could pretty much ask any video company to do it for you, even low budget ones. Just show them the sort of thing you have in mind. For instance, the first thing I think of is the home video section of Notting HIll. Specify how long you want the video to be. Then ask them for a custom quote as opposed to just going by one of their regular packages. Very likely, it takes less work to produce such a thing than what they're used to producing, because editing was a lot trickier and therefore more minimal in the '90s with videotape rather than digital files.
As a bonus, ask them if they actually own or are willing to purchase a camera from the '90s. And as a bonus bonus, ask them if they actually filmed weddings during the '90s!
Higher-priced companies will tend to differentiate themselves by camera quality, multiple camera operators, drones, etc, but you don't need all that stuff.
