WE ARE STORYTELLERS. We specialize in using digital and film mediums to create handcrafted wedding films that tell the story of the most important day of your life. Every couple has a unique and beautiful story, full of its own romance, with its own ups and downs, and its own twists and turns.WE ARE ARTISTS. A camera is simply a tool for filling in a canvas but having the vision to artistically paint that canvas requires an artistic gift coupled with years of practice. We intimately pair each image from that canvas with the sounds of laughter and tears, heartfelt words, and emotional music from your wedding day and then the canvas truly comes to life.WE ARE PASSIONATE. We are passionate about life, the people we share it with, and the stories we tell. Every couple we meet is unique. We love hearing their stories and capturing the moments that make their wedding day as unique as they are. It might be something as subtle as a heart-felt smile glanced across the room or something as significant as the couple’s first kiss as husband and wife. We are passionate about capturing and sharing the stories that our couples share with us.We work with couples who are not just looking for a wedding video to document their day but who want to be completely smitten and in love with their unique, artistically crafted wedding film. Couples who want something they couldn’t even imagine their lives without. Something that fills them with emotion every time they see it for the rest of their lives. We are inspired by your stories and we want you to be inspired by them all over again.
