Gustav Franke Cinematography

Gustav and his team were absolutely amazing! As a couple organizing a wedding from abroad, he made the entire process very smooth and worked with us to get exactly what we dreamed of. I would recommend him to anyone!

I first reached out to Gustav as a last minute effort to get a cinematographer for my proposal and he was available for that day!He helped plan and coordinate everything with myself and the photographer throughout the process and was very detailed. You can tell his experience is there!On the day of the proposal, winds were CRAZY but he stayed positive and helped me stay confident for the big moment. He even came to my hotel to set up a voice recorder, which I hadn’t thought of and was one of the best parts of the video. The proposal went smoothly and the video that he created has left us with a lifetime memory that we will cherish. Watching (and rewatching) feels like a movie!!Gustav goes above and beyond for his clients that leaves a lasting impression. I can’t be happier with my decision to choose him and wouldn’t change a thing!

What an incredible videographer! We spent a great deal of time looking for someone that would accurately capture all of the small, special moments that made up our wedding day and who could put these together in a way that we’d love to look back on. We have been blown away by the end result and can’t recommend Gustav highly enough! He was always available to discuss ideas or thoughts we had, and his turn around on getting our footage to us was so quick. Thank you so much Gustav!

Where to start!Gustav was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He and his partner, Jane, fitted straight into our wedding celebration! They made us and our guests feel at total ease throughout the entire day!He offered drone videos which do make a huge difference in the videos to set the scene. It was absolutely beautiful. The editing of the captured video rolls suited our day perfectly and we couldn’t criticize the final result one bit!As a pair Gustav and Jane were so relaxed, easy going and had no demands which is surprising seeing how perfect the final result was! We were also given the full videos of the different events unedited so they could be relived in full if wanted!Would recommend this team for sure!Thanks Gustav and of course Jane for your calm, relaxed and super friendly vibes.

Having Gustav film our wedding was an absolute dream!From when we first reached out to Gustav, he was so kind and interested in our story as a couple, which he highlighted beautifully in our final films. Gustav was available for regular chats and we really felt like he took the time to get to know us and our vision for our wedding film.On the wedding day, Gustav and his second shooter, Jacques Britz, were fantastic- super friendly and guests have commented on how they never felt obstructed by the team or equipment.The final films blew us away and we will forever treasure them! Thank you for everything Gustav!

Gustav and his team were super professional and awesome to work with overall! We asked them to cover a tech speaking event (similar to TED talks) which, admittedly, is outside of their normal clientele — but they handled it super well and we loved the results of the individual speaker videos and the event highlights reel! Highly recommended :)

Gustav is truly an amazing and talented. videographer. He captured all of our most memorable wedding moments that will be treasured forever .We were blown away by what Gustav managed to capture and put together for us on our wedding day. We had to postpone our wedding several times due to covid and he was accommodating, professional and caring every step of the way. He makes you feel so at ease and comfortable when he’s around and it was such a pleasure! I highly recommend hiring Gustav! Thank you Gustav for capturing and portraying our very special day so beautifully!

This is my second time working with Gustav. We’ve done a commercial shoot before and did an engagement shoot revelry. Again, I am super stoked with the final result! The attention to detail is just amazing. Thanks so much!

Had my 40th birthday party in the beautiful city, Cape Town. Gustav and his team were amazing. Absolutely fantastic service, high quality clips and great coverage of the entire party. No detail was left out. The final product blew us away. Would highly recommend. Many many thanks to Gustav and his team.Chi#babydoll4.0

Finding a videographer to film our special day was as important to me as finding the perfect wedding dress. And if you know how hard it is to settle on one perfect wedding dress for your big day, then you can understand the task I laid out in front of me to find my perfect videographer. The world of wedding, let alone wedding videography is huge; there are simply so many talented videographers out there, and just like all the many styles of dresses available, there are equally different styles of videographer, and I, a Libra, indecisive by nature, had to settle on just one (well thankfully Gustav came as two, accompanied by Jané). I was in Rome at the time, planning our wedding in Greece and speaking to Gustav in South Africa. I discovered he would be in Europe for the summer season filming other weddings and travelling, so already this seemed perfect. After speaking with Gustav for some time and explaining my vision and inspiration for our wedding film, I felt a sense of understanding as well as genuine passion from Gustav in assuring me he would deliver my vision and document our wedding events completely. I was also so excited that he is a Capetonian like us and that he would be at our wedding abroad. Well, happy to say he truly understood our vision, brought it to life and absolutely nailed the assignment! (and delivered the videos in a shorter time frame than we had expected him to based on the timeline he set out). We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out and are excited to have these videos to look back on and be able to reminisce on our special day for years to come. The delivery platform he uses allows us to share our videos in a beautiful way with our loved ones. Gustav and Jané are such wonderful, warm, genuine people and working with them we felt incredibly comfortable and had fun. Thank you both for joining us in Greece, for documenting our love and giving us an experience and wedding film we can cherish forever.
