The Mountain Folk Films and Photography
About
Overview & Vibe
The Mountain Folk are Dimity Kennedy and Jefferton James, a couple who live in Blackheath and photograph and film weddings together across the Blue Mountains. Dimity works mainly behind the stills camera and Jefferton behind the cine camera, and between them a single wedding day comes back as both a set of photographs and a film. They describe their aim as becoming an eyewitness to the day rather than an obstruction, and the work has the unforced feel that suggests.
Style & Approach
The pictures are candid and warm, built out of natural light and the moments between the formal ones. There is direction during portraits, described as plenty of natural direction to put couples at ease, but the day itself is left to happen. Cinematic night frames and quiet detail studies sit alongside the wide paddock and vineyard portraits, and the films are edited fresh each time rather than to a house template.
Ideal For
Couples marrying in the Blue Mountains, Sydney or out through Mudgee, Bathurst and Orange who want photography and film from the same two people rather than two separate crews. It suits an intimate clifftop elopement as readily as a full country wedding with the whole family present, and couples who would rather be left alone to enjoy the day will recognise the approach.
The Need-to-Knows
Photography starts from $3,200 and elopements from $1,500, with a combined photography and film option from $6,450. The smallest package in each group is not offered on a Friday or Saturday. A fifty per cent booking fee holds the date and the balance falls due one calendar month beforehand. Photographs usually arrive in four to six weeks with a few early images inside two days.
Standout Feature
Booking them is booking both of them. They shoot, edit and answer their own enquiries, so the two people who meet you over coffee are the two people in the room on the day and the two people cutting the film afterwards. Raw footage is kept for three years, which is why couples can come back later and ask for a first anniversary edit.
