About

Overview & Vibe

Moments Photography & Film is Shyani and Simon, a Sydney husband and wife team who photograph and film weddings together. Shyani started the business in 2015 and Simon joined later, bringing a background in event, fashion and editorial photography for brands including Disney and Vogue. They are drawn to the Southern Highlands and to colourful, vintage-inspired celebrations.

Style & Approach

In their own words the approach is timeless yet modern, blending documentary storytelling with a love for colour, emotion and depth, and the tagline is candid, colourful storytelling for real people. Editing is kept true to life, with only essential adjustments, because they do not like heavily processed photographs. They also shoot genuine film, 35mm stills, 120mm medium format and Super 8 motion film, all lab processed and scanned.

Ideal For

Couples who want stills and film from one team, and particularly couples who want something shot on real film stock rather than a digital imitation of it. The Super 8 option suits anyone who likes the texture of analogue movie film alongside a modern highlight edit.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding photography for six hours, with more than 600 edited images, an online gallery, a welcome guide, a consultation and a personalised timeline, and travel within 100km of the Sydney CBD. Super 8 videography a 35mm film add-on for two rolls and 120mm medium format for one, and a ten-inch square thirty-page lay-flat linen album. Booking both photography and videography saves. A booking fee is non-refundable, the balance falls due seven days before the day, and dates are taken up to eighteen months ahead.

Standout Feature

Real film, three ways. Very few studios offer 35mm stills, 120mm medium format and Super 8 motion film as priced add-ons on the same wedding, with professional lab processing and the full uncut Super 8 footage handed over alongside the edit.
