About Sunny Siu Films

Sunny Siu Films is a small North Shore videography outfit led by Sunny Siu, who started the business in 2011 and has spent more than fifteen years behind the camera. The team splits its time between weddings and events, and its recent event work includes the AT&L gala dinner at Luna Park, an annual charity night for Bromic and The Kids Cancer Project that it has filmed every year since 2022, the Sydney Chinese Lions Club ball at ICC Sydney, and an apprentice graduation for Audi at the William Inglis Hotel. The filming style is unobtrusive and unposed, aimed at catching guests, speeches and the mood of the room as things happen. For functions, awards nights, product launches and company celebrations, coverage is built around the brief: arrivals and mingling, presentations and winners, entertainment, styling and candid moments through the night. A ballpark figure for one videographer across a three-hour event with a two-minute highlight film is $1,200, and bigger events can have extra shooters. Photography can be booked with the video so both come from one crew. Wedding films start from $3,500 for eight hours with two videographers, a highlights film and a full-length documentary edit. Live streaming is a specialty. The team runs mixed multi-camera broadcasts to YouTube or Zoom, records the stream and can link overseas relatives in for speeches. Drone footage is available where weather and airspace allow, public liability cover is held, and only licensed music goes into online edits, so clips can be shared without copyright trouble. A single two-minute event highlight usually lands in about five working days.

Service Details

Event coverage can include arrivals, networking, speeches, panel sessions, award presentations, entertainment, venue styling, interviews and behind-the-scenes moments. One videographer suits a smaller function, with more added for large or multi-room events. A two-minute highlight video takes about five working days. Wedding packages include two videographers, a five to seven minute highlights film and a full-length edit of every formality. Live streams use mixed multi-camera setups, go to YouTube or Zoom, and stay online for playback for four weeks. Drone footage depends on weather and location, public liability insurance of $20 million is held, and all online edits use licensed music.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Sunny Siu Films charge to film an event?

The published ballpark is $1,200 for one videographer across a three-hour event, including a two-minute highlight video. The final quote depends on event length, how many shooters you need and what edits you want delivered.

How soon will we get our event video?

A single two-minute highlight film generally takes around five working days. If you need it sooner for social media or internal comms, mention the deadline when you enquire.

Can they photograph the event as well as film it?

Yes. Event photography can be booked alongside the video, covering speakers, awards, guest portraits, networking and the venue, so you get stills and footage from a single team.

Do they live stream weddings and events?

Yes. Ceremony streams start from $950 with one videographer and two cameras, or $1,650 for two videographers and three cameras over up to two hours. Reception speeches can be added, and the recording is ready to download within a day.

Where do they travel?

The team is based in Cammeray and covers all of Sydney. They also take jobs further afield in NSW, such as the Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains and Orange, with a travel surcharge outside Sydney.
