Whether it's a glance, a shared laugh, or a gentle touch, we capture these fleeting moments. We collaborate closely with you to ensure the final film matches your vision. Together, we'll create a film that truly reflects your love story, something you and your loved ones will cherish. Let’s make this journey together and turn your love story into a cinematic piece you can enjoy forever.

Our Approach

Candid Storytelling

There is simply nothing worse than feeling awkward, stiff, and not knowing what to do with your hands.

Our core approach is to document and preserve. Your special day, your circle of people, your most precious moments.

The goofy dance moves, the belly-aching laughter induced by heartfelt speeches, the emotional ceremony moments.

All of those things make a timeless keepsake to be cherish for years to come.

Creative Director & LEAD DOP

Hey! I’m Chris!

I’m a filmmaker, photographer based in Sydney Gadigal. I’ve shot photo & video for weddings for over 7 years, as well as having shot many commercial projects for brands & businesses.

My drive and passion is derived from utilising the power of photo and video to elevate and amplify a message or idea.

When I’m not shooting, I’m working in the Australian screen industry working on projects ranging from emerging independent works to television programs like Australian Idol, The 1% Club, and The Masked Singer.

Outside of work, I’m an avid Formula 1 fanatic, looking for new shows to binge-watch, and playing my favourite video games.

Our Team

Frisson Films works with a dedicated and tight-knit group of talented shooters and video editors who are not only highly-skilled in their craft but also genuinely passionate about what they do.

Our team is fully prepped and ready to expertly capture every detail of your special day, ensuring that no moment goes unnoticed.
