VIDEOGRAPHY
EVERY WEDDING COMES WITH THREE UNIQUE FILM CUTS:
1. Cinematic Feature Film (7–15 min, 4K)
Our Long film is a crafted highlight film of your day. It runs 7 to 15 minutes and brings together the most meaningful moments, including the ceremony and speeches. We carefully edit and weave only the most emotional parts of the vows and toasts into the story, along with reactions, atmosphere, and the natural flow of the celebration.
2. Highlight Teaser (1–2 min, 4K)
This is a 1 to 3 minute Short Film created from the long one. It features only the most beautiful, cinematic, and lively shots, offering a fast and emotional overview of the day.
3. Social Media Reel (10–15 sec, HD vertical)
Reels are dynamic vertical edits, 15 to 20 seconds long. They are designed for social media and offer an even more condensed version of the short film, focusing on energy, movement, and visual impact.
We want our films to touch your heart and take you back to your special day. What we create isn’t just a visual keepsake, it’s an honest reflection of who you are.
Drone coverage, extended edited film, and all footage of your ceremony and speeches are always included!
These are part of every package we offer, because we believe your story deserves the full cinematic experience.

While photos capture beautiful moments, a video brings them to life with sound, movement, and emotion.
We mostly observe what unfolds naturally throughout the wedding day—quietly searching for emotion, timeless values, and beauty in its raw, unfiltered form. We find it in shyness, in joy, in tears, in the moments of vulnerability and connection that make the day truly unforgettable.
Relive your emotions, vows, first dance, and heartfelt speeches of your loved ones in stunning detail.
Nostalgic visuals crafted with vintage Super 8 and 35mm analog cameras
A Super 8 camera is a vintage motion picture camera that uses Super 8mm film cartridges to shoot short, nostalgic-looking movies. They shoot grainy, dreamy footage with soft colors and light leaks: perfect for retro aesthetics.
COMPLIMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Receive a complimentary engagement session with any 8+ hour package, or enjoy it at half price with any other booking. If you’re still unsure, this is your chance to see why couples trust us to capture their biggest moments.
This will make you feel 200% more comfortable with your photographer and the camera on your big day, and of course, capture some wonderful memories of your romantic engagement period.
You can use these photos to personalize your wedding decor, such as in guest books, wedding website, save-the-dates, centerpieces, or slideshows.
