About Wildwood Cinematic

Behind Wildwood Cinematic are husband and wife James and Raquelle, based in the Hunter Valley, who have spent more than ten years filming and photographing weddings as a pair. For a Port Stephens wedding they arrive as one crew, so the film and the photos are shot by two people following the same moments. The bay has featured in their work for a while. Their journal shows Erin and Josh's ceremony and reception at The Anchorage, and Ash and Tom's vows at Saltwater Restaurant on Fingal Bay, with the bride getting ready at a holiday house in Shoal Bay. They suggest coastal couples think about the season, as softer light outside daylight saving suits photos on the sand and by the water. Their approach sits somewhere between documentary and editorial. Rather than steering guests into poses, they keep to the edges, catch the small exchanges and then cut the day into films that feel like you are back inside it. Raquelle handles much of the photography, and James and Raquelle only step in to organise shots when the schedule calls for it. Packages are not listed publicly. Send an enquiry with your date, venue, guest numbers and the mix of video and stills you need, and they will come back with options to suit the day.

Service Details

James and Raquelle work as a two-person crew, offering wedding films, wedding photography or the two combined, along with engagement shoots. Their films are cinematic edits that follow the whole day, and their journal posts tell each wedding as a photo story with the venue and suppliers credited. To check availability for a Port Stephens date, send an enquiry with your venue and plans.

Frequently asked questions

Has Wildwood Cinematic filmed weddings in Port Stephens before?

Yes. Their journal features a wedding at The Anchorage and another at Saltwater Restaurant on Fingal Bay, where the bridal party got ready at a holiday home in Shoal Bay.

Can one team cover both our wedding film and photos?

Yes. James and Raquelle work as a two-person team, so you can book video, photography or the pair together and brief just one crew for the whole day.

When is a good time of year for a beach wedding in Port Stephens?

The pair suggest looking at dates outside daylight saving for beach photos. Ash and Tom's May wedding at Fingal Bay is their example of the gentler light later in the year.

What does Wildwood Cinematic charge?

They do not publish set prices. Send an enquiry with your date, venue, guest count, coverage hours and which services you are after, and they will reply with options.

Do they offer engagement shoots as well?

Yes. Engagement sessions are part of their work, and many couples meet James and Raquelle that way so they feel at ease in front of the camera by the wedding.
