Diven

A wedding film lets you hear the day again. The voices during your vows, the laughs halfway through the speeches and the music as everyone joins you on the dance floor. One dedicated Ikonic Media cinematographer will cover up to eight consecutive hours, planned around your wedding timeline.

You’ll receive a 3–5 minute cinematic highlight film, plus separate edits of the full ceremony and speeches where timings and venue permissions allow. We use professional microphones where permitted and deliver your films digitally within eight weeks.

Before the day, we’ll talk through your ceremony, reception and the moments you most want filmed. The package suits civil, church, Sikh, Hindu, Muslim and multicultural weddings with a single-day schedule.

An engagement shoot gives you space to slow down together before the wedding and get comfortable in front of the camera. We’ll choose one location that feels like you, then spend up to 90 minutes walking, talking and making a mix of natural photographs and gently guided portraits.

Diven will photograph the session personally. You'll receive at least 35 edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery, ready to download and share. You can use your favourites for your save-the-dates, wedding website or prints.

Your wedding goes by fast. We’ll cover the moments you planned for and the ones you only get to see afterwards. With one dedicated Ikonic Media photographer and one dedicated cinematographer, your photographs and film can tell the story from two perspectives throughout the day.

Includes up to 10 consecutive hours of wedding-day coverage, a planning consultation, professionally edited high-resolution photographs in a private online gallery, a cinematic highlight film and separate edits of the full ceremony and speeches where filming is permitted. We’ll work with you on the timeline so there’s space for portraits and family groups while you still get to enjoy the celebration.

Suitable for Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, civil, church and multicultural weddings. Please share your ceremony and reception plans so we can help make the most of your coverage.

Up to 5 Hours of Wedding Photography

Perfect for intimate weddings, registry office ceremonies, civil ceremonies, receptions, or couples who want the heart of their day captured beautifully without full-day coverage.

With over 20 years of wedding photography experience, I’ll document your celebration through natural storytelling, timeless portraits and beautifully refined colour.
