Nicole and Peter

Nicole & Peter

Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney

It’s here! The wedding of Mr & Mrs Kottas 🖤

This was a really special one, a wedding day which just kept on giving.

As a wedding film maker I’m always looking to improve my quality of work and story telling ability, hoping to tell deeper stories than what happened just on the wedding day. I worked with Nicole & Peter in the lead up to their day, with a few ideas on how we could get the best out of that side of the film - to dig a little deeper into their story and unique journey to this point. The result; a 3 part, 8 minute journey which starts and end with one of the most emotive and ICONIC groom speeches I’ve ever heard.

Peter had the room in complete silence, as he painted a picture of the first time Nicole entered his life and what his initial thoughts were. His best man then gave an insight into the man Peter was both before, and after meeting Nicole - with some pretty humorous stories in there as well. Throw in both of their fathers speaking highly of them as a due, and this was always going to be special.

With all of these factors in front of me to work with, it would have been quite difficult for me not to create something beautiful - considering everything I encourage had been taken advantage of. In terms of storytelling, I’d have to say this film is one of my proudest to date - and it’s all thanks to this AMAZING couple! 🤍
