hello
my name is laura and I’m an australian filmmaker living in newcastle. My heart lies in creative story telling through motion and music. I’ve been filming weddings for 10 years and find so much fulfilment within my craft. I think every couple deserves wedding vendors who are overflowing with passion for what they do, and I feel passion in abundance every time I’m invited to capture a wedding.
when i’m not filming weddings I’m either hanging with my husband B and our sweet kid Mali, or immersing myself in the worlds of interior design & drag queens. I froth for a good thrift find, a glass of malbec and my three silly dogs Moss, Zeppelin & Pablo.
MY APPROACH
Something I’ve been repeatedly commended on from my clients and their guests is my grounded & calming presence. Wedding days can contain a range of high emotions and I hold space for those big feelings through an empathetic and discreet filming approach. The goal is to harmonise between editorial creativity and letting moments naturally unfold, with the end result feeling artistic, expressive, and timeless.
I take on a limited amount of weddings per year to ensure I can fully devote myself to all my clients and work with intention to always create unique films and give myself the time and space to your and your partner to produce a tailored quality film for your family to cherish for generations. I spend all day with you to ensure I can tell the full story of your wedding day, and am available for as many pre-wedding chats as you’d like. I work collaboratively with your chosen photographer in the lead up and on the day itself, and can offer timing guidance and vendor recommendations to assist you with the planning process.
My pricing starts from 4500 and coverage starts from 8 hours. My dates fill up fast and in advance, so it’s ideal to secure your date sooner rather than later.

“Laura made being in front of a camera - something my husband and I are usually so awkward about - an absolute breeze. We felt so comfortable. The final products…chef’s kiss. Dreamy, chill, authentic and vibey! The film is a timeless creation I know we’ll love forever. We’ve been recommending them to everyone! Thank you Full Hearts!!”

“Full Hearts Films captured an incredible and moving video of our wedding - it's beautifully shot and masterfully edited. On the day Laura was a dream to work with, and she captured so many spontaneous and gorgeous moments that I look back on with so much joy. I really can't recommend her highly enough. She's the best of the best.”

“We are in LOVE with our wedding film. We aren’t the most comfortable couple infront of the camera, yet we felt so at ease on the day. We cannot recommend Laura enough from the moment I sent the initial enquiry all the way through to the end. The entire process was smooth and perfect. Thank you Full Hearts Films xx”

“Couldn’t recommend Full Hearts more. The best videographer we could have asked for on our special day. The lead up, the big day and delivery was all seamless and on time. We felt so present the whole day - I don’t even remember seeing a camera in my face, but they were there and captured the most perfect moments. We’ll cherish our film forever.”

“Laura is an absolute gem! She filmed our micro-wedding in Bellingen and it was the best money we spent. Full Hearts captured the essence of our special day so perfectly and genuinely loved having Laura there being a part of it. We planned to have celebrations with wider family and friends at a later date who didn’t attend the wedding and we played our video- it took all of our guests to that moment so they felt part of our ceremony. Thank you for an epic job and couldn’t recommend you enough!”
