Hello there, I'm Philip Avellana, Creative Director at Adventscape. You can call me Iori (ee-yo-ree) and based in Sydney, Australia. Are you looking for a wedding videographer?

I'm a wedding videographer 😄

Engagement / Prenuptial Film
Like many movies or series, there is a prequel. This film is what we plan it to be - actual engagement, adventure, reenactment or a last reminiscence of the fun memories before you tie the knot. Use this film as 'Save the Date' or play it during the reception.

An Engagement Film is a separate filming day prior to your wedding. Thus is a very good opportunity to get to know you and empower you to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I have several themes to choose from: Cityscape, Mountainscape and Seascape.

Videography
The Weddings of Real People with authentic smiles, gestures and reactions. A burst of laughter, a sudden tear, a moment of emotion - all shall be captured and tell the tale of the one True Love! Your wedding is your first day of forever surrounded by family, friends and your favourite pets. Adventscape understands this and thus, our priority to capture.

However, your film should also showcase the non-living that makeup your wedding. Your venues, rings, scenery and those odd moments that happened on your wedding. These shall be showcased in the best cinematography possible for you to remember where it all began.

Live Streaming
Helping the NSW Government fight Covid-19. Live Streaming is the best way to keep our Love Ones safe at the comfort of their homes but at the same time witness every minute of your story unfold!

Technology is amazing nowadays that you'll be able to locally watch an event unfold. We have a worldwide audience, that no matter where they are, they can be a witness and be a part of the big day.

We are currently working on inviting guests in our live streams. This allows them to be part of the speeches / toasts!

Same Day Edit Film / S.D.E.
A Same Day Edit Film is a Magical Experience.

Ask couples how they felt as they watch their stories unfold in front of their eyes right at their wedding! Asks guests how they felt as they saw themselves on film on the same day as the wedding! Have the Same Day Edit Film upload the next day for everyone to watch a beautiful summary of your wedding.

If you're interested but feeling unsure, what the 'CLIENT REACTION' on this site to find out how couples felt as they watch a Same Day Edit Film.

Legacy Film
Highlight films are very fun to watch. It's short, exciting, consumable and showcases the best cinematography while narrating your unique love story. It's truly amazing.

But what if it's too short for your liking?

Then you might like our Legacy Film. It's a highlight film 2-3 times longer - thus, it's 2-3 times amazing and breathtaking! We will pack this film with all the moments, hugs, cries, laughter, emotion and kisses so you will never ever forget every minute of your day. Once you finish watching, you won't watch anything else anymore.

First Light Play


I woke up early.  My gear was already prepared yesterday.  I don't usually prepare the day before.  Probably I'm excited.  I wasted no time and immidiately drove to the location - Turimetta Beach.

 I aimed to arrive during first light.  It's a bit dark.  I noticed that there were already a group of photographers taking position around Turimetta.  I went past them as that location is already usual.  I went further, near the edges of the reef.  By that time, the colors begin to saturate and brighten.

 I use 2 filters, Lee 0.9 Hard ND and Lee 1.2 ND.  The 0.9 GND lowers the brightness of the sky so the camera can handle the dynamic range.  The 1.2 ND lowers the shutterspeed to give a smooth effect of the water.  I'm always at timer for 3 seconds to prevent any camera shake as I press the shutter.

 In photoshop, I enhanced the colors.  I wanted to show how vibrant the scene is.  Saturation and Vibrance are used.  I sharpened the photo to pop out the textures of the rocks.  There was no vignetting added:

 I shot with:
Nikon D800e
Nikkor 16-35mm f/4 @ 16mm, f/11
ISO100, 25 sec
Manfrotto Tripod
Lee 0.9 Hard GND Filter
Lee 1.2 Solid ND Filter

 Location:
Turimetta Beach, NSW Australia
