About

Overview & Vibe

Focus First Studios is Matt and Jess, a two-person photo and film team based in Brisbane and working across Queensland and northern New South Wales. Voted the state’s number one wedding videographers in 2024 and 2025, they shoot everything from vineyard estates on the Gold Coast to a Queenstown elopement, and their published work runs to more than fifty full weddings.

Style & Approach

Candid and natural, and cheerfully blunt about it: no cheesy vibes, no awkward poses, and a stated habit of slipping in and out of the day to catch the moments nobody noticed — the sneaky kiss at the dinner table, a stray hair tucked back. They arrive early to mingle so the room relaxes before anything is asked of it, and they shoot a great deal: eight thousand frames on the day, cut to the eight hundred or so that meet their standard.

Ideal For

Couples in Brisbane and south-east Queensland who want photography and film from one team rather than two suppliers, and who would rather have a highlights film with the vows recorded into it than a separate videographer to coordinate. Coverage starts at five hours and runs to ten, so it suits a full day from preparations through to the dance floor. Elopements and engagement sessions are offered separately.

The Need-to-Knows

Collections start at $7,800, and that figure buys a photographer and a videographer together — there is no separately priced photography-only collection, though a couple can be photographed without film. Package 2 and the elopement and engagement services are quoted on enquiry. Every collection includes a pre-wedding planning call, a thirty-seven page guide, unlimited edited images, a twelve-month gallery and a print store voucher. Albums are quoted separately. No deposit or travel fee is published.

Standout Feature

The turnaround is stated at both ends and it is quick for the volume: twenty to thirty edited sneak peeks within one week of the wedding, and the complete gallery and films in ten to twelve weeks.

Albums & Prints

  • Fine art wedding album — price on enquiry. A handcrafted, fully customisable album designed together with the couple, from choosing the design to selecting the photographs, with guidance through the layout until it is signed off.

Appointment Policy
