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 😄

I don't just film weddings, I work with Clients on their run sheet, scheduling / timing, verify all details, provide information to maximise the wedding production and more. My niche is wedding videography in which I shoot weddings 98% of the time.

Feel free to contact me, say 'Hi' or just ask me about anything wedding videography and I'm very much happy to answer 😉

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.

Golden Phoenix Restaurant

Golden Phoenix at Wellsford, New Zealand

 It's our first full day at North Island, New Zealand.  It's Friday.  We scouted the weather and it's all rainy over the weekend - especially Sunday.  We're at lost really.  We're prioritising our Tongariro Alpine Crossing trip so we have to find a place to go from Friday to Sunday.  We all decided to go north to Bay of Islands, then to Cape Reinga.  

 We have a GPS, but somehow we got lost?!  We are unfamiliar with the road so we heavily rely on our GPS to find our way through.  We are now hungry and low on fuel so we decided to stop at the nearest town the GPS could find.  We are then lead to the suburb of Wellsford.

It seems like a small and quite suburb but it's busy commercially.  They have both State Highways crossing the area that adds traffic in the vicinity.  The main road is full of passing cars and both sides have open markets.  They have complete amenities from restaurant, clothing, gasoline and grocery.  If you lack something, you can definitely buy from here.

 There are a few fast food dining shops around but we wanted something heavy.  We saw a chinese takeaway restaurant named Golden Phoenix.  The place looks good with an interesting variety of foods!  It has burgers, sausages, fish and chips then goes asian like noodles, udon and fried rice.  It's an interesting variety of western and asian food.  The owner probably likes to cater to just about anyone!  The owners are very friendly.  They asked us where we're going.  I was even commented that I'll buy their business because I'm taking too much photos!  They are an interesting couple.

I ordered Steak Chow Mein.  It's a combination of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), thin noddles and thinly square sized beef strips in oyster sauce.  I'm not sure about the oyster sauce.  I ordered a large treat (NZ$12.50).  They normally sell it for NZ$6.50 but I *think* I'm hungry so I go large.  Wow, it's delicious!  I love the taste and how well cooked the veggies are done.  But it's too many.  I should have ordered the normal serving.  I ended up eating the rest at dinner.

 This is not a food blog, but if you guys are hungry around the area, I recommend you to drop by and see what Golden Phoenix has to offer. You'll love a simple and honest cooking.

 If you want to know more of what they can offer, please refer below for their menu.  It's a wonder how the couple could cover a wide variety of food!
