From the moment you enquire, we take the time to understand your needs. We're prompt in our responses. We're assuring in our guidance. We're fun and easy-going on the day. We're meticulous in the post-production.

We aim to deliver the best product and experience. We're fussy that way. That's what makes us ... Ballyhoo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Bookings are secured with a 10% initial deposit or $600 (whichever is higher), which is part of the quoted package. This is non-refundable except in the case of extraordinary circumstances, which we deal with on a case by case basis.

  • There are no fees when travelling within Sydney metropolitan areas. However, for locations out of town there is a small fee to cover the cost of travel. Between 50-70km outside of Sydney CBD it’s $120 per shooter and between 80-120km it’s $180.

  • We’d love that! Being on our feet most of the day does take its toll! We request a meal for each of the shooters at the reception. We highly prefer the meals to be served at the same time and in the same room as the guests so the photographers and videographers can be most ready when the speeches happen.

  • Each one of our selected shooters have the easy- going, fun and artistic persona which embodies the Ballyhoo spirit! We select your crew based on availability and some cultural fit as well.

  • All our packages (unless they’ve been customised) come with a pre-wedding engagement shoot which is the perfect way to meet your lead photographer as he or she will be the one who’ll lead on your wedding day. In the case where a pre-wedding shoot is not done, our photographers are happy to meet with you in any way, for example, phone call, Skype or a face to face.

  • Only you get to see the whole day unfold from start to finish. But imagine your family and guests at the reception being able to watch a cinematic highlight of your wedding day set to a song of your choice. Our Same Day Edits are known to be a real giggle and tear-jerker, you’ve simply got to experience it!

  • All our Video packages contain both a Cinematic Highlight and Full-Length Coverage. The Full-Length Coverage contains all of your formalities edited in full (wedding ceremony, reception speeches, tea ceremony etc.) while the Cinematic Highlight is a film trailer of the day that can be shared with your family and friends! There are also other types of films that you might consider, such as Pre-Wedding Films or a Same Day Edit. Send us an enquiry and we’ll help you!

  • Yes, we love to travel! We have shoot numerous weddings since 2014 around Australia, including Fiji, Malaysia and Singapore. So long as you cover the travel cost and necessary accommodation we’re easy! Contact us with details of your destination wedding and we’ll take care of the rest.
