Good Review - We really appreciated that Lightheart Films & Photography travelled to the Hunter Valley for our wedding. We were very grateful that they knew the location space well and were able to provide good photography locations near our venue.

We found Lightheart at a wedding expo 2 years ago and really liked their style. We had our wedding postponed due to Covid last year and they were very accommodating with the changes. Jason was our photographer for both our pre-wedding photos and wedding day photos - he is very easy going and professional. The photos and videos turned out amazing and we are happy to recommend to any of our friends!

We used Lightheart a few years back for our wedding, both photography & video for the whole day and pre-shoot. Daniel the photographer, Julius & Marina videographers worked together very well on the day to guide & capture the moments and put together beautiful final products for us. Thank You guys!! The service received was great, very accommodating and did their best to deliver what we wanted. Definitely room for improvement with their photo editing process & booking communication areas. Hope you guys will make it through this tough time. Best Wishes!!

We used Lightheart to film our wedding and we are extremely happy with their work. The main reason we chose them was after viewing their wedding trailer examples - we really liked their style. The initial consultation was great, and they were very keen on filming and editing our wedding in a way to match our personalities. We had already booked a photographer recommended by the venue, and Lightheart's videographers managed this seamlessly, working around our photographers needs. The editing team took our requests on board and fulfilled them to our delight! There are lots of nice little touches

We came across Lightheart Films and Photography at a wedding expo last year. We were quite stressed as we had only given ourselves 5 months to plan a wedding . The team at Lightheart were so helpful and patient during our wedding planning process. They eased our stress and answered our many questions. Our photographer Frank took the time to get to know my husband and I before the wedding and made sure he had a list of the Particular shots I wanted on the day. He was amazing and captured every moment on our wedding day that I requested. My husband and I had never had professional photographs taken
