On this episode, we are fueled by coffee and sugary donuts and we are so excited to sit down with Kimberly Moore!

Kim is a Melbourne-based filmmaker who acts as the antidote to boring wedding videos by creating super high-energy, cinematic, and totally "cheese-free" films.

If you are worried about feeling awkward in front of a camera, Kim has you covered. We chat about her strategies for "massaging the room" and how she lightly directs couples so they feel completely natural and look amazing. She also tells us why a truly great wedding video actually starts in pre-production.

Kim shares how she uses vibe-check calls and questionnaires to understand everything from family dynamics to the couple's exact vision long before the big day

We also dive into her signature day-after "sneak peek" videos, which are friggin' awesome to watch. She shares why she loves sending these out so quickly and getting couples to film their genuine, raw reactions to seeing their wedding footage for the very first time.

Plus, with wedding content creation becoming so popular, we discuss how she collaborates with content creators on the day so they can work as a team instead of stepping on each other's toes

You can check out Kim's incredible films, see those awesome reaction videos on her Instagram: @kimberleymooremedia or check out her website www.kimberleymooremedia.com.

We loved having Kim on the show! We hope you do too!

Welcome back to Project Engaged! This week, we sit down with TikTok and Instagram sensation Rebekka Lord-Johnson aka The Wedding Painter!

She is one of the most in-demand vendors in the country, known for transforming fleeting wedding moments into stunning, realistic canvases right before everyone's eyes.

We dive right into Bek's highly unconventional path to success, from dropping out of four different university courses to finally teaching herself how to paint during a three-month lockdown crash course. We also get the ultimate behind-the-scenes scoop on her strict live-painting logistics

She breaks down how she directs lightning-fast three-and-a-half-minute photo shoots, tweaks poses so couples look their absolute best, and why she strictly avoids setting up her easel anywhere near the dangerous dance floor.

You definitely don't want to miss her wildest stories! Bek shares what it's like showing up in a blonde wig and glasses to pull off a surprise portrait reveal, and recounts a terrifying "abduction" by a rogue Italian taxi driver and she haulling 40 kilos of art gear up a mountain.

We loved every minute of this episode! We hope you do, too!

Vendor shoutouts

A huge thank you to the vendors who contributed their wisdom to this episode:

Rachel (Wedding Events Coordinator, Cleveland Estate): Make the day represent you rather than strictly following what is trending on TikTok and Instagram.

Ruby (Videographer Down the Road Weddings): Provide drinks for the ceremony - it sets a great tone and acts as a big, warm welcome for your guests.

Dani (Singer/DJ/Stylist, Logan Events): Sit your family on the opposite side of where you stand during the ceremony so they can see your faces, rather than your backs. Also, avoid timing your aisle walk to a specific song moment, keep table styling simple so it doesn't impede guest interactions, and remember: if you want people on the dance floor, the couple needs to be on the dance floor!

Jacinta (Musician/Planner/Florist, Champagne Electric): Don't forget to spend quality time with each other! The day goes by in a blur, so build in time to step away together.

Melissa (Celebrant, Marry Me Mel): "Pay more, do less." Let your vendors do the heavy lifting, hire a professional MC, and remember that you are the guests of honor, not the hosts.

Alyce Bailey (Celebrant): Put specific names on the front-row seats at your ceremony to avoid awkward delays or confusion among extended family members.

Nick Mercy (DJ, More Than a DJ): Consider a change of dress for the bride when it's time for dancing so you can move comfortably.

Chris (DJ/MC Apples): Provide comfy shoes (like sneakers or fluffy slippers) for later on in the night to keep the dance floor going.

John Edney (Celebrant/DJ/MC): Embrace the imperfections. Things outside of your control will happen, so let it roll off your back like water off a duck's back.

Sarah Chippendale (Celebrant): "Marry someone with nipple tassels" (Hey, whatever works to keep things uniquely you!).
