RealWeddings Guide
Founded in 2003 by Marcus Theodor, C2 Films has become one of Melbourne's most reviewed and highest-rated wedding studios, with more than 3,000 weddings and 550+ five-star reviews behind them. What sets C2 apart is their single-studio approach to both photography and videography — one creative direction across both disciplines, so nothing competes for attention on the day and everything cuts together as one cohesive story.
The C2 style leans documentary and observational: minimal direction, natural light, and a focus on the small, unscripted moments — a father's hands, a glance across the room — rather than staged set-pieces. Couples work through questionnaires, calls and check-ins ahead of the day so the team understands what actually matters to them, then builds the film and gallery around that.
C2 is based in Melbourne and travels frequently to Sydney and Brisbane, with destination weddings taken on by commission. There's no travel fee within an hour of Melbourne, and pricing is presented in full upfront — collections start at $3,995 for film only, or $7,995 for combined photography and film.
Across Melbourne, wedding videography runs from around $2,000 for a single shooter with limited hours to $15,000+ for multi-operator luxury studios. Most couples engaging an established studio land between $4,000 and $9,000.
C2 Films film collections begin at $3,995 for eight hours with one cinematographer. Combined photography and film collections begin at $6,995.
Yes. A deposit secures your date and the balance is due before the wedding. Between those two points we're happy to split payments into instalments that suit you — most couples pay across several months rather than in one hit. Just ask when you book.
No travel fees apply within an hour of Melbourne.
Within 24 hours — your social media reel, a short vertical edit ready to post while the day is still being talked about.
4 to 8 weeks — your full photo gallery and your cinematic feature film.
In peak season this can stretch slightly. If it's going to, we tell you early rather than let a date quietly slide past.
Depending on your collection: a cinematic feature film of two to ten minutes, a lightly edited long-form film covering ceremony and speeches in full, a complete gallery of high-resolution photographs, black and white versions of every image, all raw photographs, and a social media reel delivered the day after.
Everything arrives through a private online gallery you can download from and share with family — hosted by us, and kept for life.
Yes. Every film includes a round of revisions. If a moment matters to you and it isn't there, tell us and we'll work it in.
What we won't do is re-cut a film to a completely different brief after delivery — which is exactly why we talk through what matters to you before the day rather than after.
It depends on the collection. Our eight and ten-hour collections send one cinematographer, or one cinematographer and one photographer for a combined booking. Our twelve-hour Premier collections send two of each.
For large venues like Metropolis or Leonda, more operators genuinely matters — while one holds the room wide, another is finding the quiet moments happening at the edges.
One studio, one team. This is more unusual than it sounds — most couples book two separate vendors who meet for the first time on the wedding morning and then quietly compete for the same angle.
Our photographers and cinematographers have worked together for years. They move as a unit, share a creative direction, and neither ends up in the other's shot.
Suggest away — we always listen. In practice we licence music specifically for film, because commercial tracks can't legally be used in a wedding film and often fight the edit rather than serve it.
If a particular song carries real meaning for you, tell us early and we'll find a way to honour it.
Extensively. Greek and Antiochian Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Lebanese, Macedonian, Italian, Indian and Chinese ceremonies and traditions are all familiar ground.
Knowing the order of a ceremony — when the crowning happens, when the zaffe arrives, when the family blessing takes place — is the difference between capturing a moment and hearing about it afterwards.
Melbourne being Melbourne, we plan for it. Every venue we know well has an indoor fallback we've already used, and rain often produces the most striking images of the day — umbrellas, reflections, softer light.
We've never had a wedding where weather cost a couple their photographs.
Most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead. Peak Saturdays between October and April go first.
That said, if your date is sooner it's always worth asking — cancellations happen, and midweek and winter dates are often still open.
Yes. No travel fees within an hour of Melbourne CBD. Beyond that we quote travel at cost — never marked up.
We film regularly in Sydney, Brisbane, the Mornington Peninsula and the Yarra Valley, and have shot weddings in Venice, Lebanon and across Asia. Destination weddings are warmly welcomed.
Every operator carries backup bodies, lenses and audio recorders. Nothing on the day depends on a single piece of equipment continuing to work.
Footage and images are backed up to multiple drives before anyone leaves the venue, then again to separate physical locations once back at the studio.
Three things, honestly. Longevity — trading since 2003, more than 3,000 weddings. Reviews — over 550 verified five-star reviews, which makes us the most reviewed wedding studio in the country. One studio, both crafts — photography and film under a single creative direction, edited in-house rather than outsourced offshore.
What that adds up to is a team that has almost certainly already worked at your venue, and has seen whatever your day decides to throw at it.

A Melbourne studio with 20+ years and 3,000+ weddings behind them, known for cinematic, documentary-style films and photography under one creative direction.
