- 01Absolutely. We film weddings throughout Melbourne CBD and the surrounding suburbs, capturing celebrations in some of the city’s most iconic venues. We’ve filmed at beautiful Melbourne locations such as the State Library of Victoria, Leonda by the Yarra, and Crown Towers, and our local experience helps us capture the unique atmosphere of each venue — from elegant city weddings to relaxed celebrations. We’re also close to some of Victoria’s most popular regional wedding destinations, including the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, and Gippsland, and we love travelling to these areas to capture stunning vineyard, coastal, and countryside weddings. If you’re planning a wedding in Melbourne CBD, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, or Gippsland, we’d love to be part of your day and capture your story.
- 02Yes. MJ Productions Co regularly films at Yarra Valley venues including Stones of the Yarra Valley, Zonzo Estate and Immerse Winery. We understand the region’s best lighting times, vineyard angles and scenic locations, helping us create cinematic films that showcase its natural beauty. Most importantly, because we are based close to the Yarra Valley, we do not charge a travel fee for weddings there.
- 03Definitely! The Mornington Peninsula’s coastal venues — including The Epicurean Red Hill and Port Phillip Estate — are some of our favourites. The sea breeze, vineyards, and golden light offer a dreamy cinematic atmosphere for your wedding video.
- 04Melbourne weddings often feel modern and urban, with striking architecture and city lights. Yarra Valley weddings are surrounded by vineyards and nature, while Mornington Peninsula weddings often feature coastal scenery. MJ Productions Co adapts the filming style to highlight the character of your chosen location.
- 05No — travel within Melbourne, Yarra Valley, and the Mornington Peninsula is included in all packages. For weddings beyond Victoria, we offer affordable travel options so couples can enjoy consistent quality anywhere in Australia.
- 06Yes — we love travelling and have filmed many beautiful regional weddings across Victoria, including Mount Macedon, Daylesford, Geelong, the Great Ocean Road, Gippsland, Mansfield, Dargo, Nagambie, and Shepparton. Every region has its own charm, and our experience helps us capture each location’s unique landscape and lighting perfectly.
- 07For weddings more than 100 km from Boronia, Victoria, we charge $2 per kilometre. For interstate and international weddings, the travel fee generally covers return flights, one or two nights of accommodation and car hire if required. You can view our service areas at https://www.mjpro.com.au/services-area. We will provide a clear travel quote, and the arrangements can be booked by us or organised by you.
- 08Yes — we love travelling to film weddings across regional Victoria. Many of the most beautiful and unique weddings take place outside Melbourne, and we’re always excited to capture those celebrations. We’ve filmed weddings at a range of regional locations including the Great Ocean Road, Daylesford, Bendigo, Shepparton, Myrtleford, Mansfield, Mt Hotham, Dargo, and East Gippsland. If you’re planning a regional wedding anywhere in Victoria, we’d be thrilled to be part of it. For regional weddings, additional travel costs may apply. This usually includes travel, meals, and accommodation so we can arrive early, stay well-rested, and take the best possible care while filming your wedding day. For most regional locations, we require two nights of accommodation to ensure we can arrive on time and avoid any early-morning travel risks on your wedding day.
- 09To secure your date, we require a signed contract and a 50% deposit based on the accepted quote. The remaining balance is due on your wedding day. All bookings are managed electronically, and all prices are quoted in Australian dollars and include GST.
- 10We recommend booking 9–12 months in advance, especially for Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula weddings during spring and summer. Early booking ensures your preferred date and team availability.
- 11Most MJ Productions Co packages include 8–12 hours of continuous coverage — from getting-ready moments to the dance floor. We adjust to fit your Melbourne or Yarra Valley wedding timeline perfectly.
- 12Yes. We regularly work alongside photographers and planners across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula. Our team communicates clearly and works collaboratively to keep your day relaxed and running smoothly.
- 13We recommend booking your wedding videographer 8–12 months before your wedding date. Popular dates—especially spring and autumn weekends—can book out quickly, so securing your videographer early helps ensure availability. Many couples book their videographer soon after confirming their venue, as these are usually the first two suppliers to be secured. That said, if your wedding is sooner, feel free to reach out. If your date is still available, we would be more than happy to be part of your day and capture your story.
- 14We focus on helping you feel comfortable, never overly directed. Our calm presence, storytelling experience and cinematic editing ensure your wedding film feels genuine, elegant and uniquely yours. We are always well presented and work unobtrusively throughout the day.
- 15Yes. We use professional microphones and backup recorders to capture vows, speeches and music clearly, preserving every emotional word and laugh. Our audio recorders use 32-bit float recording for high-quality sound. We also connect a recorder to the venue’s PA system or the DJ’s soundboard and use multiple RØDE shotgun microphones on our cameras as backups.
- 16Absolutely. We’ll guide you through music licensing and recommend cinematic tracks that match your vibe. Or, if you prefer, we’ll handpick songs that fit your story and energy.
- 17Depending on the size and schedule of the wedding, I may work independently or with a second videographer. I generally recommend a second videographer for weddings with more than 150 guests or more than 10 hours of coverage. For smaller weddings, I am confident working independently. Once I understand your plans, I will recommend the best option for your day. I usually work independently for elopements and small weddings in Melbourne.
- 18Full HD is a good option for online viewing and smartphones. If you want to future-proof your film or watch it on a large-screen TV, 4K is the better choice. Please contact us if you would like to upgrade to 4K and it is not already included in your package.
- 19Yes. Our main cameras record to two memory cards, and we keep backup copies of your wedding footage for up to 24 months. We usually bring three or four cameras and multiple audio recorders to each wedding, giving us reliable backups throughout the day.
- 20Yes. Our drone pilot and drones are registered with CASA for commercial filming. Drone filming depends on suitable weather, venue permission and airspace restrictions. It may not be permitted near airports or in restricted areas.
- 21Yes. We can film corporate content including interviews, event highlights, vox pops, brand videos and social media clips. We have worked with marketing agencies, companies and universities. For television commercials or larger productions, we recommend contacting a specialist video production company: https://angusashtonfilm.com/video-production-melbourne/.
- 22Yes. We hold public liability insurance for up to $2 million, and all crew members have current Working with Children Checks. I have also completed first-aid training for emergency situations.
- 23Late afternoon is ideal for outdoor portraits near the Marriage Registry at the Old Treasury Building, particularly during the final two hours before sunset. An afternoon ceremony allows us to make the most of the soft late-afternoon light for portraits afterwards.
- 24You can read our Privacy Policy at https://www.mjpro.com.au/privacypolicy.
- 25A full documentary-style wedding film is a longer edit that tells the complete story of your wedding day. It typically includes preparations, the ceremony, speeches and other important moments, edited in a natural storytelling style so you can relive the day as it happened. This style of film is included in The Polished and The Full Journey packages. If you prefer a shorter cinematic overview, our packages also include highlight films featuring the most emotional and memorable moments of the day. If you are unsure which package best suits your wedding, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
- 26Yes. We bring portable lighting equipment to every wedding. If a venue becomes too dark—particularly during the reception, speeches or first dance—we use subtle, unobtrusive lighting to keep the footage clear and natural. It blends with the venue’s existing lighting, enhances the atmosphere and helps us create a polished, cinematic film.
- 27Your final videos depend on the package you choose: • Packages with six or more hours of coverage include a cinematic highlight film plus full edits of the ceremony, speeches and first dance, unless you upgrade to a full documentary film. • Packages with eight or more hours of coverage include both a cinematic highlight film and a 90–120-minute documentary-style wedding film. • The Full Journey package includes all of the above, plus three one-minute social media reels. All videos are delivered through a private online gallery. Packages with eight or more hours of coverage also include a USB drive.
