The video for this week is from the team at Untitled Film Works, with the gorgeous wedding of Sophia and Chad. They married at the Greek Orthodox Parish of St George in Rose Bay, before their reception at Pier One Sydney Harbour. Sophia and Chad also chose to add pre-shooting to enhance their story, which allowed the team to capture her dress fitting at Steven Khalil’s, her kitchen tea and interviews with the couple.
