Our Portfolio & Services:
Personalized Wedding Collections starting at $1,950*
We understand that every event is unique, so we don't offer standardized wedding packages. Instead, we provide a base collection and allow our clients to customize the services and add-ons that matter most to them. We schedule a phone or video consultation with all potential clients to get to know them, introduce ourselves, and help craft a personalized collection catering to their needs.

Our approach and style
One thing that separates us from other studios is that we only offer video and book only one project/event per calendar day. This specialization allows us to maintain a consistent level of quality and personalization.
Stylistically, we approach each wedding day with a fly-on-the-wall, documentary-focused approach. We want to capture genuine, un-posed moments on your wedding day without being intrusive. We’ll step in as needed for lighting and overall composition, but we want you to be comfortable and unaware of the cameras so your true personalities can shine on film. We aim for a true-to-color visual style, with natural skin tones and contrast, with the intention of your films being timeless and authentic.
The sections below include samples of the types of films we include in our offerings.
Engagement/session Film
Our engagement/couple sessions allow us to have fun and get to know each other better so that we aren’t strangers on your wedding day. These sessions are an opportunity to be creative and provide extra footage to utilize in your wedding videos! Some of our couples have used these films as part of a save-the-date invitation or played them during their reception for their guests. We deliver these films well before the wedding day, and they are easily shareable on social media.
Wedding Teaser Film
Our wedding teaser films are the video equivalent of a sneak peek. They are short recaps of the wedding day set to music. We typically deliver these films within a week or two after the wedding day, and they are designed to be easily shareable on social media.
Wedding Highlight Films
Our wedding highlight films are cinematic summaries of the wedding day. They are more narrative, utilizing the best footage and audio to tell the story of your wedding day.
Key Moment Films
A key moment film is a moment of your day that we deliver in full as a separate film. We capture these moments with multiple cameras and edit them together for the smoothest viewing experience possible.
