Doris & Alan flew back from Hong Kong to celebrate their wedding ceremony with family and friends at the historical Garrison Church in the Rocks area.

The weather forecast was bleak however it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Following the afternoon reception at the Waterfront Restaurant, Doris and Alan spent some time getting photos around Martin Place.

It was a pleasure to work with such a fun couple.

Here is a short snippet of their time at Martin Place.

It’s been awhile since we have posted any video samples on the blog. I will be putting up a few new trailers/highlights over the next few weeks but today’s entry is from Sunday’s wedding.

Once again I had the pleasure of working with Vincent and Milton Lai. You can see their amazing photos from the day here

While away we were extremely glad to hear that one of our productions was entry was awarded Finalist in the Wedding Day Short Form category at the Australian Video Producers Assocation (AVPA) annual awards.

AVPA is the leading organisation for Video Producers Australia-wide. As usual the standard of entries was extremely high and we were thrilled with the result.

This was our first time to enter our work in such a competition and is a great result. It is pleasing to receive some recognition for the hours of hard work and creative effort that goes into making YOUR videos.

We look forward to continuing to produce quality videos that represent your day and personalities in a creative and exciting manner.

It’s not everyday we get to shoot weddings in exotic overseas locations. However,this week I had the pleasure of working with Mark Gibson of Moving Presentations on a wedding in Italy.

We travelled about 40 hours to arrive in the scenic Lake Como region, not far from Milan. It is an absolutely beautiful area of the world. It was my first trip to Italy and I enjoyed every minute of it.

I am now writing this, sitting in a small pub in Prague where we have a couple of days R&R before heading back to Sydney.

Here are a few pictures just to prove I am not making it all up.

Yesterday, Encore Media participated in the annual “Pollies for Small Business” programme.

Organised locally by Hornsby & District Chamber of Commerce & Industry this annual event sees politicians both federal and state roll their sleeves up and get to work in the coalface of small business in their local area.

We were privileged to have our local member Judy Hopwood MP visit our studio and learn about all the processes involved in creating our video productions. It is a great chance for small business owners to voice their concerns and provide feedback to those representing us in government.
