​
Travel & Accommodation
-
Travel within the Sydney metro area is included - essentially a 35km radius of Parramatta that extends north to Hawkesbury River, west to Nepean River, south to Camden, Campbelltown, Sutherland and Royal National Park.
-
Travel outside this area is charged at $60 per person per additional hour of travel from Parramatta (centre of Greater Sydney). eg Hunter Valley is approx. 2 hours from Parramatta, that is an additional 2 hours travel (there and back) the Standard team is 3 so 2 x 3 x 60 = $360
-
Accommodation may be requested if it is unreasonable to return from a late finish. eg after 10pm for a wedding in the Hunter Valley.
​
Parking
-
Onsite parking is required for the Producer (who delivers the kit) - nearby parking is required for the camera and audio operators.
-
Some outdoor venues may have spectacular views of Sydney Harbour but it is sometimes difficult to find parking nearby. In these instances we may have to deliver the equipment by taxi - any additional parking or access costs will be charged to the client.
​​
Internet access
-
​A decent internet connection is essential to ensure a good live stream experience for your online guests.
-
Our preferred option is to use an ethernet connection in the venue (wi-fi is mostly not suitable).
-
Where ethernet is not available we use a Telstra 4G router. However there are many 4G dead spots around Sydney, in which case we record a live mix of the ceremony and will upload that as soon as we can get decent reception.​

FAQs
How long do you need to setup?
Depending on the venue and the package, we will require access between one and two hours before the guests arrive. The cameras have to be set-up and connected to the vision switcher. Audio connected and checked. It is important that all equipment is fully tested (especially the stream) before we go live.
What equality is the stream?
We stream and record at Full HD (1080p) however the stream may be delivered at a lower definition if we have limited internet access. The quality for the person watching also depends on their internet access.
What equipment do you use?
We use professional Panasonic and Sony video cameras, Rode and Shure microphones, Blackmagic ATEM vision mixers; and a Berringer audio mixer when required.
Why so many crew?
Live streaming is like live television. We need content for the entire length of the stream.
To ensure we can get a clear shot of the action we need operators for each of the main cameras so they can pan and zoom to follow the action, they also need to be able to move about to get the best shots.
The producer needs to focus on the feed from those cameras, give directions to the camera operators, monitor the audio and ensure the stream is working - a very busy role.
When live music is involved we setup a separate audio mixing desk with a separate operator who can focus just on getting a good sound mix.
How long is the stream available online?
Your guests can access the stream for up to three months.
Why Vimeo rather than YouTube or Facebook?
We subscribe to the Vimeo professional service which provides better privacy.
This licence also ensures the stream is not shut down when you play copyrighted music (as happens with YouTube in particular).
What People Say
Marie & Tony
With the expertise of EventPix, we were able to share our wedding with our loved ones overseas in December 2020 (with COVID restrictions).
​
We opted to spend a little more rather than use ZOOM and my sister's husband's camera skills. We are so pleased with that decision. Well worth it!
​
Thank you Trevor (& team) for your amazing efforts from pre-planning layout (including my extra outside the box requests) to full on live execution and value add-on with the massive extras such as photos, when we couldn't afford a photographer.
​
The recording and photos are our keepsake from our wedding. Thank you so much!
Ami & David
On behalf of me and my new husband to say the biggest thank you for everything on Friday last week with our wedding.
It felt like everything was done so seamlessly and I didn’t need to stress or worry about anything at all. My family and friends back home loved being able to be included in our special day and spoke so highly of the quality of the stream they were able to watch.
I hope you will be able to pass on our thank you to everyone who was involved in your team, I personally am so beyond grateful to have shared everything live with my family.
