Sunshine Video + Design
Creating fresh and modern wedding videos for couples in Queenstown, Wanaka, Southland and Mt Cook.
Our Style
We like to make wedding films that are fresh and modern capturing beautiful, cinematic footage and editing to focus on showing the spontaneity and fun of your day. We use two camera operators much of the time and multiple cameras, however we don't want you to be intimidated and feel like you're under the spotlight. Rather than staging and posing shots we've found that the emotion and life in a film usually comes from those moments when people are unaware of the cameras and simply being themselves. Whenever possible, we prefer to film in an unobtrusive, fly-on-the-wall manner. Your wedding film will portray a natural take on the day - 'keeping it real', which we love.

After filming, the work really begins. We spend literally hours and hours in post production editing and crafting your video. Bringing every detail together to tell the story of your day.
Our Philosophy
To create a wedding film that you, your family (your family to be) and your friends will love and want to watch from start to finish. To tell the story of your day in a way that makes you laugh a lot, cry a little, show you what you might have missed, show the details, the food, the dress, the party, the dancing, the joy and the love. All in a creative and contemporary way that will look just as fresh and exciting when you sit down to watch it with your grandchildren. Easy.
Packages
We offer a range of filming packages that suit all styles of weddings, budgets and coverage requirements. There is no charge for travel to Queenstown, Wanaka and Southland and we happily travel further afield. Contact us for a comprehensive package and price list and to talk about the best option to capture your wedding story.
Filming
We film using top-range, broadcast quality High Definition (HD) Canon video cameras, Canon DSLR cameras, a variety of L-series lenses, sliders and supports to make sure we have the right equipment to use for the right environment. We edit using Final Cut Pro editing suite and make use of an exhaustive range of other software and techniques to ensure your video is contemporary, personalised, cinematic and beautiful!

Our Story
Sunshine Video + Design represents the skills, ideas and creative vision of Scott and Melissa Thoroughgood. We've been married a couple of years, film and edit together, have our own opinions, perspectives and ideas. All of which (hopefully) combine to create modern and exciting wedding videos that show joy, spontaneity, humour and most importantly, two people who love each other. Much like a marriage.
Scott
Scott emigrated from Australia to 'bring some culture' to NZ. He travelled the world and started filming in the early 90s as a skydive camera operator. Since then he's spent years filming and editing - films, commercial stuff, weddings and everything in between, but with both feet on the ground. Still happy in the air, he's a superstar with a camera in helicopters and balancing on the side of a mountain getting amazing footage for mountain photoshoots and heli weddings.
Melissa
After studying photography (and illustration) with a Design degree Melissa worked for many years in publishing as Creative Director. Since moving South and getting married it's been back to hands on and a whirlwind of weddings and cameras. Along with Photoshop, motion graphics, web and graphic design (when there's time) and of course keeping Scott organised!
