Hi, I’m Julia, and together with my husband Cal, I run Grace & Motion Wedding Films. For us, wedding videography isn’t just a job—it’s a love story we’re privileged to tell, time and time again. Born from our own experiences as a couple and our love for capturing life’s most special moments, Grace & Motion is built on the belief that every wedding is unique, and every love story deserves to be preserved.
We know how precious your wedding day is because we’ve been there ourselves. It’s a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, tears, and joy, and it’s over in a flash. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to create wedding films that let you relive the magic of your day, not just as a memory, but as something that feels alive. Here’s why so many couples choose us, and why a wedding film is an investment that only grows in value over time.
From Our Wedding to Yours: The Story Behind Grace & Motion
When Cal and I planned our own wedding, we fell in love—not just with each other (that happened years earlier!) but with the whole process. The excitement, the planning, the celebration—it was all so special. After a few friends asked us to film their weddings, we realised we had a knack for capturing the love, joy, and individuality of these incredible days.
In 2019, Grace & Motion Wedding Films was born. The name? A little personal. Cal is the “Motion”—our cinematic genius, always chasing the perfect shot. I’m the “Grace”—bringing calm, organisation, and an eye for detail to make sure nothing gets missed.
Sometimes, it’s not just the two of us. For larger weddings or our top-tier packages, you might see three of us there, including Johnny—our rockstar second shooter who always brings his creative flair. On those days, Cal and Johnny manage the cameras while I focus on making sure everything runs smoothly: no equipment in the way, veils perfectly fluffed, dresses adjusted, and everything looking just right. Your wedding isn’t a film set, but we do bring more kit than your average photographer—and I’m the one making sure it’s tidy and out of sight.
Relive the Moments That Matter
Your wedding day flies by. It’s filled with so many incredible emotions—excitement, love, joy, even a few happy tears. A wedding video isn’t just about documenting the day; it’s about preserving how it felt.
With a wedding film, you get to relive those moments: the sound of your vows, the cheers during your first dance, the little glances and smiles you didn’t even realise were happening. Couples often tell us they laughed, cried, and felt like they were right back in the moment when watching their video. That’s what we strive for—to bring your day back to life, not just as a memory but as an experience.
Candid But Planned: Capturing the Real You
Our philosophy is “candid but planned it.” We capture the day as it unfolds naturally, but we’re always prepared for what’s next. By understanding your timeline and knowing the key moments you want us to focus on, we’re always in the right place at the right time.
We love movement—it’s in our name, after all—so whether you’re romantic and dreamy, playful and quirky, or adorably awkward, we’ll capture your natural dynamic. There’s no need for fake smiles or forced poses. Our goal is to bring out you, exactly as you are.
We are also committed to finding the best angles to make your wedding video shine. If that means positioning cameras in hedges or blending into the background for those natural, candid shots, we’ll do it. It may feel a little “paparazzi,” but we’re dedicated to ensuring you get the most stunning and creative footage possible.
And yes, we’ll be there with you in the action! While we dress to blend in with your guests, we’re not afraid to get involved. Adjusting your veil? Helping with your dress? Sharing a laugh to ease the nerves? That’s all part of what we do.
That said, we also love being part of your wedding day in a meaningful way. If you’d rather we completely blend into the background and never interact, we might not be the right team for you. For us, it’s about building a connection and celebrating your love alongside you. If we don’t click during the consultation, that’s okay—because we want you to be just as excited to work with us as we are with you.
Modern and Timeless: Music That Tells Your Story
We want your wedding films to feel both modern and timeless. Music plays a big role in creating that balance, and we carefully match each track to what’s happening throughout your day. Whether it’s soft, emotional instrumentals for heartfelt moments or something upbeat for the dance floor, the music we choose ensures your film resonates with you and your unique story.
While we respect every couple’s wishes, we’re not fans of overly staged imagery or cheesy vow overlays. For us, it’s all about authenticity—capturing the real love, laughter, and connection that make your day special.

Your Wedding, Preserved Forever
For us, wedding videography isn’t just about the big moments; it’s about the little ones, too. The way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, the laughter of your friends, the tears of a proud parent. Those moments are priceless, and it’s a privilege to be there to capture them.
If you want a videography team that’s more than just “doing a job,” we might be the perfect fit. We’re in love with love, and we’d be honoured to tell your story in a way that’s as unique and special as your relationship.
