Film of the Week

24th March 2012

Amy and Dean are a really sweet, genuine couple, who don't do things conventionally at all! From how they met, to how Amy proposed – that's right, Amy proposed – to Dean, their love story is very unique and very much meant to be. I won't give away too much, but there are some wild coincidences that lead to be married last year on a very special date.  This film by Sunshine Coast cinematographers, Lumina Motion Pictures, is a pre-wedding day love story film/same day edit hybrid that was played at the couple's reception for all their guests to enjoy….
