The fundamental philosophy that drives us is to make sure that every film we shoot reflects the unique personality and style of our clients. No wedding is the same and no couple is the same. We understand that fact and are always working to cater to our clients' requests and discriminating tastes. We produce beautiful, cinematic memories of the wedding day that they will be revisited by our couples and their families and friends for the rest of their lives. Over the last five years we've worked to continually evolve and hone our skills to ensure that we are at the forefront of wedding cinema. Based in Baton Rouge, we feel a deep connection to the entire state of Louisiana and are always willing to explore the far corners of this state to create our work. Honestly, we enjoy travelling anywhere to share in a couple's most special day. We would love to create a film with you.​Having been in this industry for almost ten years, we've come to realize that our work is cherished every day of our couple's lives. We strive to put you back into the time and place where you had your first dance, shared your first kiss, and saw each other for the first time on your wedding day.
