Words from our lovely couples!

Dane, Lil & Barli captured our day so elegantly and timelessly, while making the entire experience feel so fun and comfortable. From start to finish, they created the most relaxed and joyful atmosphere, which truly shows in every photo and moment they captured.

We honestly can’t put into words how much we love every single image — each one feels natural, emotional, and full of love. They also created the most beautiful video of our wedding, which we shared at our announcement party — and it had everyone in tears (including us, every time we’ve rewatched it!).

From our very first message, they were so warm, responsive, and professional. They went above and beyond anything we could have imagined and completely exceeded our expectations. We’ll forever be grateful to have had such an incredible team capture our memories in such an elegant & timeless way. We received 900 photos in total, and we love every one of them!

We were incredibly lucky to have Dane and his team as our wedding videographers for our Cupitts wedding. From our first meeting we felt at ease with Dane and the team, we were able to have a laugh and just vibe, which was so invaluable to feel like you were just having fun with friend on the wedding day! Now I cannot express this enough but the wedding video produced by the dreams collective was absolutely incredible. We were completely lost for words. The team captured every special moment, plus a few secret and surprise moments, that we are so lucky to have and cherish as forever memories. The editing, the soundtrack, the transitions, the blend of modern and vintage styles - so flawless. We are still so blown away, as are our friends and family who have commented that our wedding video is one of the best they have ever viewed!

All you have to do is head to their website to watch our incredible day (Sam and Jess). We cannot recommend The Dreams Collective highly enough. You do not want to miss out on the magic and memories they offer.

Thanks for everything!

Dane and Lily are so incredibly talented and will exceed your expectations for wedding photography. Not only were they a pleasure to be with on our wedding day, they also had such a beautiful lens on everything and gave us amazing creative direction to create timeless and romantic images. Not to mention, they captured so many candid shots and precious moments. We received a huge amount of edited sneak peek images the following day (I have no idea how they did it!) but somehow topped them with the rest of the gallery. We are SO glad we went with them and now have these photos to cherish and reminisce the day over and over again. Thank you Dreams Collective Wedding Studio!!

Dane and the team were absolutely amazing. It isn’t enough to say they nailed the brief for our wedding day - our gallery left us speechless and is way better than we could have imagined or even knew how to ask for! I am so thankful beyond words they were our photographers/videographers for the day.
