Questions we are often asked.

It depends on the hours, the crew and what is included, so prices vary a lot. Published 2026 guides put most Melbourne wedding videography between about $2,000 and $5,500, with $3,000 to $4,000 a common budget for a full day.

At Locket Films, videography starts from $2,699 for 6 hours, and 8 hours is $3,299. That sits right in the typical range, and it includes multi-camera 4K filming, a 3 to 6 minute wedding film, your edited ceremony and speeches, the raw footage, licensed music and travel up to 100 km return. Photo and video together start from $4,398.

Candid and natural comes first, so most of the day just happens and we capture it. If we can see you could use some direction, we will give it, and we keep it playful: simple things to do together that feel more like a game than a stiff pose. If you would like more direction, just tell us.

Yes, if you would like to. Just ask Bjorn, and he can set up a short chat of about 15 minutes with your photographer or videographer in the week before the wedding, so everything is fresh in everyone's mind. Otherwise, Bjorn briefs them beforehand, so they know your plans and what matters to you.

Travel of up to 100 km return from Melbourne is included in every package. That is about 50 km each way. Beyond that it is $1.50 per kilometre. The travel fee is the total return distance, minus 100 km, times $1.50.

Anywhere in Melbourne and Victoria. We love the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula, the Dandenongs and country venues, and we are happy to travel further.

One of the good things about being a team is that we are not relying on a single person. If someone cannot make it, we will do everything we can to find a replacement who is available for your day, and Bjorn will keep you in the loop.
