When you have family and friends spread across many continents and countries, it can be hard to get everyone all in one place to celebrate your special day. And you never know what last-minute emergencies might come up that prevent your closest friends and family from being able to make it to your wedding.
This was the case when Jocelyn contacted me a month before their wedding. At the last minute, the doctor told her grandpa not to take the long flight from South Africa to Sydney. That meant, he could not make the wedding. It was so important to her that she was able to share the biggest day of her life with her grandpa. What she needed was a wedding videographer, and fortunately, Thez Weddings was there to help. With a highlight video, you can relive and share the best bits of your big day. And with our creative filming and editing techniques, you are able to share the emotions and atmosphere of the wedding day.
The wedding was held deep in the Southern Highlands at a beautiful rustic location called Sylvan Glen Country Estate. Located in Penrose it’s about a 2 hours drive from Sydney but the drive is well worth it. Sylvan Glen is a hidden gem, tucked away in beautiful nature. You know you’re in the countryside when you’re driving on dirt roads just to get there and a kangaroo hops ahead of your car, as though they were an escort. It has a unique rustic charm to it. From the chandelier at the outdoor ceremony to the unique interior design of the reception venue, there’s just no place like it. There’s just something so cozy and nostalgic about it. And it was perfect for Jocelyn and Jason, who wanted to have a small intimate wedding. A wedding that celebrates the close bonds of family and friends as Jocelyn and Jason start their own family together.
In my opinion, winter weddings are the best time to have weddings. We were able to catch some beautiful sunset shots in nearby Penrose State Forest at a location recommended by Gavin Cato from Gavin Cato Photography. You should check him out, an amazing experienced photographer who knows all the best locations in the Southern Highlands. And his wife, Michelle Cato did the hair and makeup for Jocelyn too. Such an inspiring husband and wife team.
We wish Jocelyn and Jason all the best on their married life together. And thank you for choosing Thez Weddings.
