A creative force lighting up the wedding scene, SunBuzz Media has been officially crowned the number one Wedding Videographer for the Whitsundays and Mackay region at the 2025 Australian Wedding Industry Awards.
At the heart of this rising creative powerhouse are wedding filmmakers Stacie Howarth and Simone Gallagher – longtime friends, collaborators, and the visionary duo behind the lens. With more than a decade of combined experience in live broadcast television, they bring a rare level of professionalism, artistry, and instinct to every wedding they film.
Having worked with major media outlets including 7 News and Sunrise, and collaborated with celebrities and high-profile clients across the country, Stacie and Simone have since channelled their talents into crafting emotive, detail-rich wedding films under the SunBuzz Media brand.
They believe every couple has a story worth telling, and they make it their mission to bring that story to life in a way that is cinematic, timeless, and cherished forever.
Backed by formal qualifications as well as creative flair, Stacie holds a Bachelor of Film and Screen Media Production, while Simone holds a Bachelor of Digital Media. Over the past two years, they’ve carved out a reputation as sought-after wedding videographers across Queensland and beyond.
In addition to weddings, SunBuzz Media has become the go-to team for high-end corporate video production and branded social media content.
Now, they’re elevating their craft even further, heading to the United States in October to take part in the leading international Film Workshop hosted by Runaway Vows, Emma K Films, and 31 Films – an immersive training experience focused on the latest cinematic techniques and storytelling trends.
“We know how important education is, especially in the ever-changing world of technology and trends, and that’s why we are constantly upskilling to give our couples the best cinematic quality films.
“We’re really looking forward to bringing a wealth of knowledge back to our region from the US. We really love what we do and we just can’t wait to see where this takes us.”
SunBuzz Media is also a finalist in the upcoming national Australian Wedding Industry Awards, set for January, as they continue to deliver heartfelt, high-quality films that couples treasure for a lifetime.
From intimate elopements to lavish ceremonies, Stacie and Simone pride themselves on capturing the unscripted – the tears, the toasts, the dance floor moments – all with an artistic lens and a strong eye for detail.
“We’re proud to represent cinematic storytelling at its finest and can’t wait to capture more magic in 2025 and beyond!”
Now booking for 2026 and 2027, SunBuzz Media invites couples to begin their storytelling journey with a cinematic keepsake of love, laughter, and everything in between.
