About Sunrise Films
Sunrise Films has spent 11 years filming celebrations across Johannesburg and the wider region — from intimate ceremonies of thirty guests to multi-day celebrations. The films are cut from what actually happened — speeches, first dances, the quiet moments between, and the result is a record of the day as it actually ran rather than a version assembled to a formula.
A planning call settles the shot list, the audio sources for speeches and where the second camera sits, so nothing important is decided on the day itself. Every booking includes a highlight film and the full ceremony edit, delivered in 4K. Questions are answered in writing, changes to the plan are normal and cost nothing before the event, and you always know who will actually be there on the day.
Sunrise Films operates from Johannesburg, works in fr / en and takes bookings from 450 000 ZAR. Enquiries are answered within 1h with an itemised written quote rather than a range. Popular dates — spring and end-of-year Saturdays especially — are typically gone six to nine months out. You are not charged for asking.

We changed the plan twice in the last month and it was never a problem. Calm, organised and completely reliable.
Answered every question quickly in the run-up, and on the day just quietly got on with it. The difference was obvious.
Booking was straightforward and the written quote matched the final invoice exactly. No surprises, which is all you want.
Blended everything so smoothly that nobody sat down all night. Several guests asked us for the contact before they left.
