YOUR FRIEND BEHIND THE LENS

Less fly on the wall. More undercover cop.

I get to know your story so damn well, you’ll wonder if I was actually

lurking in the bushes the whole time. I wasn’t (probably).

The name’s ribbons.

Michael Ribbons.

Consider me your theatre of love expert. (Except not wanky. And no clowns. Clowns scare me.)

“The man can capture a vibe and bring it too.”

Prue & Dave

I’m a pizza man turned cinematographer based in melbourne.

It’s a let’s-eat-a-slice-on-the- lounge-room-floor-and-play-Mario-Kart kind of relationship. Where you spill about how you two ended up here, over a bottle (or two) of vino.

“it felt like catching up with an old friend.”

Kate & Damen

I’ve shot huge weddings inside roman castles and tiny weddings next to the hill’s hoist.

But I’m most drawn to the ones that feel like coming home. Like you to each other.

“He nailed our brief perfectly.”

Tegan & Michael

  • “He picked up on so many small details & it showed in our film.”

    Andrew & Monica

  • “The best wedding video I’ve ever seen...Michael Ribbons is amazing! I really do mean that. He stepped in with one week's notice and made us feel right at ease from the get-go. He is incredibly warm and friendly to deal with, but most importantly he listens carefully so that he understands the brief to the very finest detail. Ribbons' preparation, skill set, communication style and ultimately his hustle on the day, are second to none which was telling from start to finish and showed in the delivery and execution of the best wedding video I’ve ever seen (slight bias yes)! In essence, Ribbons made our dreams come true. My wife and I will be forever grateful and are proud to call him a lifetime friend. Thank you again, Ribbons!”

    Hannah & Damien
