When we watched our wedding film, all of the feelings from our wedding day came rushing back!

What makes us different?

Every wedding day goes by in a flash. Our Wedding Films let you relive the feeling of your wedding so that you never forget! Click here to continue reading...

You've been dreaming of your wedding for a long time, but there is so much pressure to make this one event unforgettable. As your wedding approaches, there will likely come a day when you feel worried, wondering if after all of the planning you will remember what matters most: how it felt to celebrate your love with those closest to you. Hannah and I are coming up on our tenth wedding anniversary so we know how important it is to preserve the memories from your wedding.

Most couples hire a photographer, check it off their list, thinking they have done all they need to do to document their wedding... when they get their pictures back they are reminded of the moment the picture was taken but can't remember that "Cloud 9" feeling they were experiencing on the day. Our wedding films help you relive that feeling over and over again for years to come. Your wedding film will be a cherised heirloom that lasts for generations.

We know you don't want another vendor to crowd your space and direct you on your wedding. That's why we don't require extra time in addition to your photographer and instead capture moments as they happen, making it all about you and the story of your event. And, our work comes with a guarantee that if you don't absolutely love your wedding film we will re-edit it once for free! After you reserve your date with us you will immediately feel less pressure knowing that you will always remember your wedding just as it happened.

So that we can provide the best experience for each couple, we take on a limited number of weddings each year so inquire today to schedule a consultation. We can't wait to meet you!

Sincerely,

Philip

 

Frequently Asked Questions

+ When should I book?

We know how important these memories are so we invest a significant amount of time serving each couple and editing together your unique story which is why we only take on a limited number of weddings a year. If you haven’t done so already, please fill out our inquiry form and we will get back to you within 1 business day.

+ Do you travel?

Yes we do! Name the place and we can be there! All travel is included in our pricing.

+ Will you tell us what to do, how to act, or direct us on our wedding day?

No! If you're hiring us, it's because you appreciate the real candid moments captured in our films. We like to get a few cinematic portrait shots of just the two of you at the first look or between the ceremony and reception but we do not require extra time in addition to your photographer and instead let them lead the way and capture moments as they happen.

+ OK, we really want to book you. Now what?

Fill out our inquiry form and we will be in touch with our availability for your date and set up a phone consultation to get to know one another. On your consultation we will customize a package that will best serve you. Next, we will email the online contract, which will outline all of the details! Finally, you will e-sign the agreement and pay the retainer to reserve your wedding date.

+ How do you select music for your films?

While capturing your wedding, we discover your unique style and hand pick music that best fits the feel of your event. If the music we chose isn't a great fit for you, don't worry, we have a guarantee that you will love your film or we will make any changes once for free.

+ What types of films and add ons do you offer?

In addition to our main cinematic Feature Film that tells the unique story of your event, we also offer Documentary style edits of your Ceremony and Reception, an Instagram Teaser, and Rehearsal Dinner Coverage. Drone footage is included in all of our packages, weather permitting. You will receive your final films in a beautiful online gallery that can be viewed on your smart TV or streaming boxes. The gallery is easily shared with family and friends and the files are downloadable for safe keeping.
