Halcyon Films

About us

We stay out of the way & keep the small things.

Halcyon is two filmmakers based in Marrickville. One of us stays with you; the other follows the day around you: the speeches, your nan on the dance floor, the light going pink over the paddock.

We don't stage scenes or ask you to walk back and forth. You'll mostly forget we're there, and that's when the good parts happen.

Recent films

Six weddings from the last two seasons, from the mountains to the harbour.

What's in a film

Everything from the day, not just the pretty parts.

  1. i.A highlight film

    Four to ten minutes, cut like a short film to licensed music. Easy to share with family who couldn't make it.

  2. ii.The full ceremony & speeches

    Filmed on two cameras, kept at full length and cleaned up for sound. The bit people rewatch the most, years later.

  3. iii.Drone, where permitted

    Flown by a licensed pilot when the venue, the weather and the airspace allow. Never during the vows.

  4. iv.Audio from your vows

    Small microphones on the celebrant and one of you, so every word is clear even with wind and waves.

  5. v.A private online gallery

    Stream and download in full quality. Yours to keep, with no ads and no expiry date.

Questions

Before you book

When will we get our film?

Eight to ten weeks after the wedding. If you’ve booked Documentary, a one-minute teaser arrives within two weeks so you have something to share sooner.

Can we choose the music?

Yes, from a licensed library. Every song is cleared, so your film won't be muted when you post it. If you want a song from the radio, we'll keep it in the documentary edit as it played on the night.

Do you travel?

Within 100 km of the Sydney CBD is included, which covers the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands and most of the coast. Further afield, we add travel at cost, and for interstate or overseas weddings, flights and a room.

Will you need to direct us?

Very little. We'll take you away for ten minutes of portraits at golden hour, and that's it. The rest of the day is yours.

What if it rains?

We bring weather covers and wide lenses for small spaces. Some of our favourite films have rain in them.
