Documentary means we shoot your day as it unfolds. Light direction when it counts, without the performance. We work calmly and a step ahead of the day. The secret glances, your Nan welling up in the front row, the bold dance floor moves, someone stuffing their face at the dessert table (been there, done that, would do it again). The honest, relaxed bits are the ones you might forget on your own, and they’re the ones worth having.
We’d be a pretty good fit if:
You want it relaxed, with the atmosphere captured
Everybody loves a good party, and Splendour Visuals is here to capture a good time. You’ll get the vibrant atmosphere of the day as much as the people in it.
· You want a little film in the mix, for the nostalgic feels
Add a roll or two of 35mm and you’ll have something vintage sitting alongside the digital.
· You’re marrying in the mountains, or eloping somewhere remote
We know which spots are worth the walk and which ones need a helicopter. Wānaka and Queenstown are home ground, and mountain weather is part of the job.
· Your place is an urban one, and it means something to you
What makes us different:
– Digital and 35mm film, side by side
Digital does the heavy lifting, with 35mm film in the mix when you want it. The rolls come back nostalgic and true to colour, with all the feels.
– Dancing the line between documentary and editorial
Think candid and honest, with an editorial streak. When the light’s worth it we’ll borrow you for a few frames with more intent behind them.
– Photos that look and feel like you
We blend in with your guests, so what comes back looks like the day you actually had. You’ll recognise yourselves in it, which is the whole point.
– Photo & video from one team
Photo and video from one duo, with Ned at Summit Films on the video. One plan for the day, and no one elbowing anyone out of the frame.
