Tahryn and Ben.s wedding in the Greenhouse at Howard smith wharf. The wedding took place during COVID this was the day they actually got married but then they had a wedding at the warehouse six months later once the restrictions had been lifted
Lita & Chad
We booked Red Door Studios for our wedding videography in September 2020. Phil was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the day and was so easy to talk with. He was so prompt with communication and he never made me feel bad for asking questions – also we had so many changes due to COVID restrictions and he just went with the flow every time I sent through another change.
He just made everything so easy! On the day, Phil was amazing to work with as was his secondary videographer Bruno. They both had such a chilled out vibe which made it so much easier to be recorded (this was something my husband and I were a little nervous about). After the first few minutes we ended up just doing our thing and mostly forgot about the cameras.
Phil put up our wedding teaser and we are already so impressed with his work. We cannot wait to see the final result which we know will be amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Red Door Studios to anyone looking for videography for their event.

The biggest thing here is to use the surroundings. You could have ten different videographers, and they would all come up with different ideas.
The cliffs are the obvious places, but there are many books and crannies along that side around the Greenhouse area. The boardwalk is great, but it needs to be late afternoon to maximize the views. Anything before 4 pm, and the sun is just too harsh.
Even the best media team will need help with the light as it will not be flattering to anyone. If you are going early, the best location is around crystal brook and Mr Percival’s, right under the bridge. There are some great angles and leading lines. The best time to go is around sunset. You will have that mix of daylight with the nighttime building coming alive as a backdrop.

You really cannot go wrong at Howard Smith Wharves. it’s got everything, Of course there are people everywhere so take that into account sometimes during the photo and video shoot you do have to wait some time before you can get that clear shot so no one’s behind you. At night it is stunning so definitely consider a night shoot for some great photography and videography opportunities
