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 love, and having the time of your lives, it’s the perfect opportunity to… make a movie!
I’m Mana
I’m a filmmaker based in Yallingup WA, who specialises in capturing weddings. I love being able to offer my skills and passion for filmmaking to couples who want to take this opportunity to create 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!

"Where to begin! Mana is one of the most talented, creative, amazing, caring, thoughtful person we have met. He captured the most important day, so perfectly and in such a way that is true to who we are. Mana pays so much attention to detail and takes the time to get to know you and learn what’s important to you. We love watching our video back with our children and will cherish these moments forever. Hand's down the best INVESTMENT. "

We had Mana from Lightdance productions 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.

My Approach
As a passionate and experienced filmmaker, I understand the importance of capturing every single moment of your special day. With industry-level gear and a creative eye, I am able to create stunning and cinematic wedding films that capture the emotion, beauty & joy of your wedding day.
Every love story is different, and that's why each one of my films is different. The editing process especially, is very much determined by the personalities of my couples.
I’ll work closely with you to truly understand your vision and style, and bring your unique love story to life.
My approach is candid, capturing the natural moments of your wedding day, without forced posing or unnecessary time-wasting.
As a result, your highlight film will be filled with natural, candid moments that transports you right back to your special day, and fills your heart with that warmth for the beautiful love you both share.
