About
After over five years and more than 150 weddings later I’m obsessed with capturing couples in love. Everything from intimate elopements to three day celebrations.
Starting Woven Images was a simple decision as it involves so many things I love; Connecting with people, the love of films, a bit of techy gear chat, then topped with a love of style and fashion.
Hi, I'm Emily -
I was born, raised and still live in Queenstown, NZ.
Our film is so perfect I couldn’t believe how emotional I was when I first watched it, I sobbed. We are obsessed and can’t thank you enough!

“My advice to anyone getting married will be now that you MUST get a videographer! We both agreed we would have been devastated if we didn’t have our film.”
Kind Words
Working with Woven was a breeze from start to finish - exhibiting the utmost professionalism while making sure we felt natural while looking cinematic on-camera. It’s incredible to think that a video of this quality and beauty was produced when on the day we hardly noticed Emily’s presence during the proceedings. But that really just speaks to her talent!

“12 out of 10! Woven’s portfolio speaks for itself, but we were still completely blown away by the teaser that Emily provided just a few short days after our elopement in Queenstown”
I felt so lucky to have Emily as a part of our day.
She brought such a positive energy and a sense that she really enjoys her work.
I am so grateful for her talent in capturing and preserving all the emotion and happiness we felt. Everyone who has watched our video has teared up! It is a special thing to have a film that we can watch when we’re grey and old to bring back all the memories from the happiest times of our lives.

“I cannot believe the all the beautiful, intricate details and audio that she gathered because she worked away so subtly, never staging or forging a moment.”
It is the most rewarding job creating films that make the viewer feel something.
Watching my couples share their films with future generations, guests who couldn't attend or simply watching on repeat themselves as they want to relive their day over and over again is simply the best.
It is a huge honour to be trusted to capture such a meaningful day and turn it into an heirloom to be watched for a lifetime. I absolutely can’t wait to capture yours!
I love to create wedding films that are honest and authentic. Your film will beautifully focus on you and your unique story.
Music is one of the most important elements of the final film, I could literally capture the most perfect footage, use the wrong song and suddenly the film is cheesy. And I am not ok with that.
I'd encourage you to trust me! The more creative control you hand over to me, the better the final film will be. I love trialing different songs and finding the ones that pull on your heart strings and make you feel something. Being able to experiment freely is where the magic happens.
As quick as I can edit them! Around the 3 month mark is what I aim for but depending on backlog it can be up to 5 months.
Have a date you need them by? Enquire about a Rush Edit.
Some of my packages have options to add on a full ceremony edit.
This is your whole ceremony as it happens, from beginning to end, with multiple camera angles and high quality audio.
Let the day be.
I’m there to capture what happens, not construct a movie production where you walk out the same door twice. I will guide you into positioning that has better lighting or composition, but then I’ll let you be you!
FAQ
Raw footage seems like a good idea but it's actually really time consuming for me to get it to you and it's a product that is not even watchable. For example sound from the camera mic isn't guaranteed so you would have a shot of your ceremony and just wind noise.
What I offer instead of raw footage is the Chapter Edit, which is all the footage from the day put into chapters ie:
Chapter One: Getting Ready
Chapter Two: The Ceremony
Chapter Three: Post Ceremony Celebrations
Chapter Four: Photo Adventure
Chapter Five: The Entrance / Speeches
Chapter Six: The Dance Floor
I don’t know about you, but my memory is never as good as I think it is. In the moment I always think, “Of course I’ll remember every detail,” but give it a couple of years it all starts to get a bit fuzzy.
A wedding film is a way to time capsule your day, so you can watch 1, 5, 10, 50 years down the track with a grandchild on your knee.
Photography freezes those important moments, but your wedding film lets you re-live these memories in real-time.
