Attention to Detail

At Cole Studios we pride ourselves on being thorough. Meticulous to the n th degree, we’re always looking at the bigger (and smaller) picture, because, as the saying goes, the devil is in the detail…

Backgrounds, shadows, light and dark spots, a flower out of place… are always looking at the background and detail in our photography. Your job on your wedding day is to enjoy the time with your loved ones and friends; let us worry about all the little things.

Recently we were on the “Pontoon” on Sydney Harbour and the ceremony was at sunset. Everything went extremely well and it came time to sign the certificate. As the couple sat down we were looking at the background. Our photographer politely asked the couple to move the table which they did. The results speak for themselves. This is one of the differences between a real photographer and someone that just takes photos.

If we had not intervened, the background would have been much less interesting.

Picture yourself here; which background would you prefer? This is what Alicia Bree said; the bride in these photos….

“A huge shout out to a wonderful photographer and his side kick. Both you and Shane made our night. You went above and beyond, literally turning the boat around to get the best shot you could. Your experience definitely paid off, dealing with a large bridal party with a very short time frame and yet you still captured every moment. Thanks for bringing fun and enjoyment to our wedding shots! Thank you!! Mat and Alicia!”

Emma and I got married at Panorama House 2 weeks ago and had Jason and Bobby do our photos and video. Freezing cold and blowing a gale, and these guys did an outstanding job. We received our colour and black & white photos in less than a week and wow we were blown away. They were Absolutely amazing. And then we received our video. OMG having the video done was the best decision we made. The quality, the music, everything about it was amazing. My wife and I had tears all the way through. We will be forever grateful for the memories that these guys have created for us. Due to covid there were several changes and Jason was helpful, understanding and compassionate through he whole process. Anyone that is getting married, speak to these guys, you won’t be disappointed

Dear Jason and team, On behalf of our family I just wanted to send a message of gratitude for the professional and dignified video recording/editing you recently produced for our mother Pauline’s funeral. Despite TELSTRA’s maintenance schedule impeding a live-streaming of the service, the edited version was warmly received by our family as well as relatives and friends near and far. You could not have done more to make it happen and we appreciated the manner in which you informed the family. Your attention to detail on the day was evident - having cameras positioned in locations that enabled a better viewing than merely the 'back of heads’ was an unexpected addition that enabled others to feel a greater part in the service. The drone view of the church and surrounds to commence the video was stunning and unexpected - a great touch to a highly professional product. We could not be happier with the recording - a treasured memory for life. Best wishes, Paul Nield (For and on behalf of the Nield family; Phil and Greg)

We have used Cole Studios twice now, the first time our engagement shoot and the second time for our wedding, the quality of the photos are amazing! On our wedding day Jason and Bobby photographed our day, they both work very well together and assisted in helping our day run very smoothly. Our photos were returned very quickly within a week! We couldn't be happier with the results from Cole Studios and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much Cole Studios Shannon & Kaan

We have used Jason and his team on a number of critical funeral services and the results have been great. I would highly recommend his business when you just need things to be perfect. He himself is a perfectionist and cares deeply about giving a high quality end product. The team are careful with their presentation at sensitive moments and have the ability to blend into the background, never making the event about them. I appreciate being able to rely on Jason, Julie, Bobby and his team to provide our client families with the best of live-streaming and event videography. Can’t recommend them highly enough!!

Cole Studios done an amazing job with my grandfathers funeral, especially the LIVE STREAM. The audio and quality of the cameras were incredible and just the passion and professionalism of the team to ensure the live stream went beautifully. unfortunately due to covid restrictions not everyone could attend, but thanks to Cole Studios for ensuring that all of my grandfathers family and friends were able to watch the live stream as if they were there with us! Quality is what you get with Cole Studios!

Having never contemplated live streaming for a funeral service, COVID restrictions made us think of how we were going to share this funeral with our friends & family as we wanted to give Mum the send off she truly deserved. Jason did a superb job live streaming for us during this difficult time & the family couldn't be happier. From start to finish Jason was fantastic, from his professional videography to his compassion for the occasion. We were initially concerned that it might not be value for money but after seeing the end product we were very happy and the final production was worth every dollar. We would highly recommend his services to anyone. Thank you Jason.

Jason and Bobby did an amazing job of our wedding. Despite the horrible weather we had, they still did a great job of capturing our night. They even gave us the opportunity to get dressed up again and go out and get the photos we wanted in perfect weather free of charge! They kept us entertained and smiling, they had their own little competition between the both of them of who got the best shots. We could not recommend and thank them enough.
