My name is Tayla;

the face, the director, the editor & the dreamer behind JADÈ Films.

I adore living in the beautiful tropical paradise that is Cairns and count my lucky stars every day that I get to do what I do as a career. Capturing something as real and authentic as weddings on film brings my heart so much joy & I absolutely put my “all” into my business and into the films I create for my amazing couples. Even after doing this for over 10 years now, it still blows my mind every time I hand over a film that I am lucky enough to be trusted to create something so special for people.

I have always been a creative in some way or another and after studying photography and design at university, I dipped my feet into the world of wedding video in 2013 and haven’t looked back since.  

I am a former South Aussie, but now addicted to Cairns’ tropical weather.  I love travelling, getting my heart rate up either in the gym or hiking in the outdoors, and going on local (& afar) adventures with my Husband, Will.  I am a doggo-mum to a crazy but cute border collie, a huge foodie and I can NEVER say no to wine and cheese.  

I see myself as both an introvert & an extravert, extremely empathetic (which I see as a strength for filming & editing weddings) & much prefer deep conversations over small-talk.. I’m so awkward at small-talk - haha!

My incredible Husband and I got married last year with an intimate destination wedding in Tasmania and it was beyond amazing to finally be on the other side of the wedding world. I now can confirm it’s true what they say about the day going by in a flash, but i’ve never felt such a beautiful high & adored how truly special our day was. If I had any advice for couples planning their own day, it would be to do your day your way, you can never have too many moments captured to look back on, and just enjoy the day with your soul mate & create some special core memories!

And that sums me up! I can’t wait to get to know you.

big love,

Tayla x
