Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our photography services, booking process, and equipment.

What areas do you cover for wedding livestreaming?

We cover the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, Coolangatta, Burleigh, and the Northern Rivers including Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore and the hinterland. Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and destination weddings on request — just send us the venue location and we'll let you know.

Is the wedding livestream private?

The stream is hosted on a private link that isn't listed publicly and doesn't appear in search results. Only people you share the link with can watch. We can also add a password if you'd like extra protection.

What if our venue has poor WiFi or no internet?

Garden weddings, beachside ceremonies, and remote venues are where our broadcast van earns its keep. It carries its own internet via bonded mobile carriers plus Starlink, plus a generator and battery backup. We've streamed weddings in some pretty far-flung locations across the Northern Rivers and beyond.

Will the livestream setup be visible during the ceremony?

Discreetly. Our cameras are positioned to capture the ceremony without getting in your photographer or videographer's way. You won't notice us during the day — our team works quietly from the edges of the room.

Can you do photography and video as well as the livestream?

We can. Many of our couples book livestreaming alongside our photography and video packages, which works out cheaper than booking each separately. Get in touch and we'll put a tailored quote together.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book us anywhere from a few months to over a year in advance, especially for weddings between September and May (our busy season). The earlier you book, the more likely we'll have your date available. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — just ask.

Do we get a recording of the wedding livestream?

Yes. We supply the recording in full HD after the wedding so you can rewatch, share with anyone who missed the live stream, or keep it as a permanent keepsake. It's yours — no time limit on access.

Can our guests watch the wedding livestream from overseas?

Yes — anywhere with an internet connection. We send a private link before the day, and family overseas or interstate can watch live or come back to the recording later. No accounts or special software required.

What areas do you cover for funeral livestreaming?

We cover the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, Coolangatta, Burleigh, Robina, Southport, and the Northern Rivers including Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore and Murwillumbah. Sunshine Coast and Brisbane services on request. Get in touch with the venue location and we'll confirm.

Can we have a video recording without livestreaming?

Yes. If a family prefers not to stream live, we can record the service in full HD and deliver the video afterwards. This is a good option for families who want a keepsake but don't have loved ones watching remotely.

Can you also photograph the funeral?

Yes. Many families book livestreaming and photography together, and it works out cheaper than booking each separately. We can also include videography, photo tribute slideshows, and on-site AV like microphones, speakers and TVs.

Do you work with funeral directors?

Yes, regularly. We work with funeral directors across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers. If your funeral director hasn't booked us before, we're happy to coordinate directly with them so you don't have to be the go-between.

Will the livestream drop out during the service?

We bring our own internet — multiple mobile carriers bonded together, plus Starlink as backup — so we're not reliant on venue WiFi. In 15+ years we've kept streams running in some difficult locations. No one in this industry can promise zero technical issues, but we can promise we've planned for them.

Can family overseas watch the funeral live?

Yes — anywhere with an internet connection. The recording stays available afterwards too, so people in different time zones can watch when it suits them. No special software or accounts required, just the link on any phone, tablet, computer or smart TV.

Is the funeral livestream private?

Yes. The stream is hosted on a private link that isn't listed publicly and doesn't appear in search results. Only people you share the link with can watch. We can also add a password if you'd prefer extra protection.

How quickly can you book in a funeral livestream?

Usually within 24–48 hours of your call. We understand funerals are arranged quickly and we keep capacity for short-notice bookings wherever possible. If you've just been given a date, get in touch and we'll work to your timeline.

Are your live streaming packages flexible? Can they be customized according to specific needs?

Yes, our live streaming packages are designed to be flexible and customizable. We offer a range of starting packages that can be adjusted or mixed to suit your specific requirements. Additionally, we provide custom quotes for unique needs and offer discounted rates for multiple services. Feel free to contact us to discuss how we can tailor our services for your event.

How do you ensure reliable internet connectivity for live streaming, especially in remote locations?

We prioritize reliable internet connectivity by employing advanced internet bonding technology. Our live streaming van integrates multiple internet sources, including 4G, 5G, satellite, and venue internet connections. By bonding these sources, we provide robust and stable internet connectivity, ensuring minimal risk of interruptions during live streams, even in remote or network-limited locations.

Can you tell us more about your live streaming van and its capabilities?

Absolutely! Our state-of-the-art live streaming van is equipped with cutting-edge technology for seamless streaming at 1080p resolution and recording in 4K. It's designed for versatility, supporting multiple cameras, audio equipment, video playback, and Image Magnification (IMAG). The van also has its own generator and 240v inputs, along with a backup battery power system, ensuring an uninterrupted streaming experience.

What makes your live streaming services stand out?

Our live streaming services are distinguished by our commitment to delivering the highest quality visuals and service. We use professional-grade cameras and have a dedicated team with extensive experience in live production. For instance, Daniel, a key team member, brings over 10 years of industry experience. This expertise ensures that every aspect of our service meets your needs.

Is there an attendant present throughout the event?

Yes, a professional attendant will be present to assist your guests and ensure everything runs smoothly.

How much space is required for the setup?

We recommend a space of about 9x9 feet for comfortable operation, but we can work with the space available at your venue.

Is there a difference between a photo booth and a selfie mirror?

Yes, while both capture fun memories, the selfie mirror offers a full-length reflective screen with interactive features, giving a unique twist to the traditional photo booth experience.

Can we get digital copies of all the photos?

Definitely. Post-event, we provide a digital gallery with all the photos taken during your wedding.

Are the photos printed instantly?

Yes, the photos are printed within seconds for your guests to take home as a special memento of your day.

How many photos can our guests take?

There’s no limit! Guests can take as many photos as they like during the rental period.

Can the photo templates be personalised?

Absolutely! We offer a range of customisable templates that can include your names, wedding date, and themed graphics to match your wedding style.

Do we need to provide anything for the setup?

We require a power source and a small space to set up. We’ll handle everything else, including setup and breakdown.

How long can we rent the photo booth or selfie mirror for our wedding?

Rental durations vary, but they generally range from 3 to 5 hours. We can also customize the duration based on your event schedule.

What is included in the photo booth/selfie mirror rental package?

Our packages typically include the photo booth or selfie mirror setup, a variety of fun props, customizable templates for your photos, and instant printouts. We also provide an attendant to ensure everything runs smoothly.
