It’s not often we get the chance to create a time capsule with as much significance as on your wedding day. With all of your loved ones in one place, celebrating each other, and having the time of your lives, it’s the perfect opportunity to… make a movie!
I’m Mana
I’m a passionate filmmaker based in Yallingup WA who specialises in creating one-of-a-kind wedding films. I love being able to pour my skills and love for filmmaking into every project, offering couples a chance to craft an heirloom piece of their family’s history.
I believe your wedding film should be more than just a recording of your day; it should be carefully crafted time capsule that will be treasured for generations to come. That's why I take the time to ensure each of my films truly reflects your unique personality & relationship.

We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Mana to film our wedding day! He somehow captured all the special moments, big and small, creating the most special video that perfectly depicted our wedding, our personalities, and our story. He was also great company on the day bringing a relaxed, fun, non-intrusive vibe, while being a complete professional. Mana is such a talent and an absolute legend - we'd highly recommend Lightdance Films!

If you are looking for an outstanding videographer for your south west wedding, Mana is definitely your guy! I love that Mana took the time to get to know our story before the wedding, and created the perfect film to reflect that. Our film is such a timeless piece of art, and I know we'll be kicking back in our rocking chairs someday showing our grandkids what an epic wedding day we had! Mana's talent and eye for detail is incredible, and he perfectly captured both the emotion and the fun of our day. He blended in so well on the wedding day, and didn't ask anything of us - so all the footage is so candid and raw, which I absolutely love. I can't stop watching it! I was also blown away at how he got our film back to us within 2 weeks of our day. Thank you for giving us a lasting memory of our special day Mana, and for being an absolute VIBE! Kait & Brayden :)

We are so glad we went with Mana as our videographer. We viewed quite a few beforehand and liked Mana's style the most. Even in our inital chat he took in everything that I was after and since receiving our films they by far meet expectations! His work is incredible and we absolutely love our beautiful film. Such a beautiful video we have to treasure for the rest of our lives. Mana worked in so well with our photographer and for the most part other than the set photos after the ceremony we barely even noticed he was there. He just fitted in amongst everyone. Everything was captured so well and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Absolutely amazing!!

We had a great experience working with Mana, we love the video he produced and are so glad we went with Lightdance films. I was so surprised at his attention to detail when viewing our wedding video; I didn't even notice him getting most of the shots on the night, he was such a professional and truly thought of everything. We were on the fence about getting a videographer but for us the process was seamless and so worth it, we are so happy to have this memory of our wedding day forever.

We were blown away with the video Mana from Lightdance Films produced for us for our wedding at Hay Shed Hill! From the moment we had our first meeting with Mana, we felt comfortable and knew he was the perfect fit for us. He listened intently and took our wish list onboard to create something that truly mirrored the real emotions of our wedding day. Upon watching the video for the first time, it really felt like we were re-living the day all over again! We couldn’t recommend Mana enough - so much talent and an all around legend to work with!

We had Mana from Lightdance film our wedding in February 2023 in Eagle Bay. He was extremely good at communicating and taking the time to get to know my husband and I in the lead up to the wedding, and what was important to us to capture on the day. We received our wedding film this week and we were blown away by how amazing it was. We have watched it over, and over again, anbd it still brings me to tears each time. It captures the landscape and the beauty of the region as well as the magic and special moments from the day perfectly. I am so happy we made the decision to use Mana, we now have something we can look back on in years to come and remember what a magical day it really was.

The films Mana created are perfect in every way possible - we continue to be blown away and in awe of his talent. His hard work and dedication is like no other and it is evident in our films film. Mana worked with us before the wedding getting to know us and our story. He also worked with us after the wedding, doing two additional shoots. He even went as far as arranging certain props we needed and finding us an awesome location for shooting. Mana worked efficiently through our wedding day, capturing candid moments we were oblivious too. He captured everything so perfectly without even asking us to do certain things! The footage he captured was unreal and he didn’t miss a moment! It has been a pleasure to have had Mana as our videographer. He is a kind, easy going fella that is talented beyond his years. You would be lucky to have Mana capture your wedding or special event.

Every love story is unique, and that's why each one of my films are different. Your personalities, the vibe of your wedding, and all of the elements that you’ve carefully curated come together to influence how I’ll tell your story.
I’ll work closely with you to understand your vision and who you are, because I want this film to hit you right in the heart strings every single time.
On your wedding day, I’ll blend in naturally, capturing real moments without interrupting the flow. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and stress-free, so you can enjoy every moment.
As a result, your highlight film will be filled with natural, real moments that transport you right back to your special day, and fill your heart with that warmth for the beautiful love you both share.

I would call myself a candid videographer, with an emphasis on real, undisturbed moments. I aim to capture you being yourselves, as authentically as possible. Of course, I will direct you into the best light, or ask for subtle changes, but I am very aware of not taking from your experience of the day. I want you to be present with your guests and each other - and most of all, have a good time.
