Introducing Wheelhouse Studios

Happy New Year!
It is a very exciting time and it gives me great pleasure to introduce our new brand "Wheelhouse Studios".
"We create unique, one of a kind films and photos from the ground up. We start by taking the time to get to know you, to understand who you are and where you’re coming from. It’s only then that we can create a story that not only reflects who you are but also takes your audience on a journey. Transporting them to a different time and place.

It takes a keen eye and a steady hand to navigate these waters, and it all happens from the WHEELHOUSE."

We have a new website too! www.wheelhousestudios.com.au

and new Facebook fan page: www.facebook.com/wheelhousestudios

We look forward to serving you throughout 2012 and beyond.

warm regards,

Marcus Seeger, Wheelhouse Studios.

Cung + Leslie :: Same Day Edit :: Poets Lane

What a stunning Melbourne Spring day for a perfect outdoor wedding for Cung + Leslie! The sun shone and the skies were blue for only one day this week and it was on Sunday 23 October, 2011! Celebrated in the beautiful gardens of Poets Lane on Mount Dandenong, about 45 minutes from Melbourne.
We had about 3 hours to edit this Same Day Edit which was screened immediately after an emotional set of speeches. The focus was to show the mornings events, specifically the two tea ceremonies and the preparations for the lunch time civil ceremony so guests would have an idea of Cung + Leslie's wedding day before they arrived at Poets Lane.

Melanie + Clark :: From Across the Nullarbor

Melanie + Clark had a wonderful day! We enjoyed it, it was a day full of laughter, tears and many smiles. Mel and Clark came all the way from where they currently live in Western Australia, across the Nullarbor to Melbourne to celebrate their wedding. We enjoyed all the quirky stories, that emerged throughout the day, and wish them the very best for their future together - wherever it may be.

Celebrated at The Willows in St Kilda for both the ceremony and reception, it was certainly a delightful day!

Amanda + Jason :: Next Stop Paris

Well...Amanda + Jason, what can we say? They have started their married life in Paris - of all places to start a marriage, there can't be anywhere more romantic. We're sure that Amanda will enjoy working and seeing France and we know that Jason will certainly enjoy the food!

We wish them all the very best for their life in the northern hemisphere, and hope that they never forget the day that got married in Melbourne.

Celebrated at St Dominic's in East Camberwell and then Carousel in Albert Park, a day enjoyed by all of their guests - including us! It even included a trip back to where Jason proposed, Donovans Restaurant in St Kilda.
