All About Us
A young and energetic cinematographer working at Movieworld on the Gold Coast with famous stars like Brian Browns, Melissa George, Nicole Kidman, and Rowena Wallace. As a movie cinematographer, patience was crucial when dealing with artists, directors, producers, and other staff on set. My passion for the craft began in the late 70s when they worked for Crawford Productions, a revolutionary television production company that introduced them to motion cameras.
In 1989, I was looking for a new direction with my career. After achieving a level with TCN 9 and working with the most iconic Television Personality, Graeme Kennedy. And with the retirement of Kerry Packer, resulting in his son Jamie taking the reigns. I knew I had achieved everything I set out to do in Television I left TCN 9 Sydney to pursue my dream of creating my own company. I started working as a Contract Commercial Advertising Videographer at Fox Studio's and continue to make Television Commercials to this day. During my first 6 months at Fox Studios, I met two other Videographers who shared a story about a Wedding Videographer scamming a newlywed couple for thousands of dollars. This inspired me to create Magical Wedding Videos at a reasonable price so that all couples could afford them.
In 1994, WGM Video Productions was born
I was ecstatic to pursue my passion for weddings and capturing the memories that couples would cherish forever. My first wedding earned me $220, and since then, I have documented over 2900 successful weddings in almost 31 years. With my wife joining me 15 years ago, we are fulfilled and continue to thrive in the wedding videography field. A decision I still reflect back upon today, as being the most pivotal part of my career
