About
The person behind the camera.
Weddings are a privilege to be part of. Here's who will be quietly filming yours.
Meet your filmmaker
Hi, I'm Sam.
I'm the face behind Alpha Visuals, and being part of your wedding is a genuine privilege. I've loved filmmaking since my early teens, I've worked full-time in video since 2021, and now I focus on weddings and real, meaningful stories.
“A film should be more than just a video. It's an extension of your big day, and it should reflect that.”
Freelancing gives me the creative freedom to work closely with every couple and make something personal. And when I'm not behind a camera, you'll find me working as an Emergency Medical Technician or turning out with my local volunteer fire brigade.
- Full-time filmmaker since 2021, with fashion & brand work too
- Emergency Medical Technician with the ambulance service
- Nearly 5 years as a volunteer firefighter
- Based in Christchurch & Adelaide, travels anywhere
Why couples choose Alpha
More than a video. An extension of your day.
Candid, never staged
I work quietly alongside your photographer as one team. They lead the portraits, I catch everything in between: the real laughs, the nerves, the glances.
Your vows, woven in
Your vows are recorded with professional audio and laid through the film, so it tells your story in your own words.
Real film, not a filter
Add genuine Super 8mm motion-picture film, shot on the day and lab developed, for grain and warmth that digital can't fake.
Calm in the chaos
Off the clock, I'm an Emergency Medical Technician and volunteer firefighter. Running late, rain, a lost ring: I've got it.
Sam outdid himself! We genuinely can't believe how good they are. Everyone we show is blown away.
Limited dates each season
