TANGO FILMS

What TANGO FILMS does

TANGO FILMS is a boutique wedding videography company founded in 2014 by filmmaker Lochlan Tangas and headquartered in St Kilda and Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. The company produces cinematic, documentary-style wedding films that capture ceremonies, receptions, and emotional moments, serving engaged couples seeking professional video documentation of their wedding day. Core offerings are organized into three signature creative styles — Alternative (non-traditional, unconventional storytelling), Cinematic (film-quality production), and Lovely (pleasant, delightful narratives) — and structured into two package tiers: Short Story (condensed highlight format) and The Magic Eight (premium comprehensive coverage). Pricing starts from $6,600 per wedding with a minimum 30% deposit required at booking.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with bookings initiated via website inquiry and confirmed through face-to-face meetings at cafes or bars (or video calls for distant clients). Production is delivered using Sony cameras with interchangeable lenses, professional microphones, stabilizers, and lighting accessories, with edited films delivered within a couple of months of the wedding. Revenues are project-based, one-time license fees tied to individual wedding engagements. The business has completed weddings across Australia (Victoria, NSW, Tasmania, South Australia) and internationally (Bali, Italy, New Zealand, USA), positioning it as a destination-capable boutique studio despite its small footprint of 1-10 employees.

Tango Films generates demand primarily through organic channels: a strong portfolio on its website, active Instagram presence (#tangofilms), featured placements in major wedding publications (Hello May, Ivory Tribe, Love Stories TV, The Lane, Together Journal, Mr Theodore, Nouba, FETE/Life Magazine), and a curated network of photographer, venue, celebrant, and entertainment referral partners. The company has earned industry recognition including the 2019 Golden Heart Award and APPA Silver Award, and is registered as a private, founder-owned business with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or external funding.
