THE IN-HOUSE DIFFERENCE

Trained by us

Everyone who films your day trains with us first, so the quality stays consistent — even though every wedding has its own feel.

Edited by us

Your footage is cut right here by our own team — not shipped off to a stranger.

One team, start to finish

The same crew planning your day is shooting and editing it, all working off one timeline.

A FEW OF OUR FAVORITES

Different couples, different venues. No two look alike — and that's what makes your film unique.

Summer · outdoor
Fall . contemporary
Church · classic

IN EVERY PACKAGE

Live footage — the parts of your day worth reliving.

โ€‹

Your ceremony, your first dance, the speeches, the father-daughter dance — the real events of the day, filmed live from start to finish. The stuff you'll actually want to sit and watch again.

 

It's everything a photo can't give you: the vows out loud, the song you danced to, the toast that got the whole room laughing. We film these the full way through, as they unfold.

 

Quick heads-up on what it isn't: eight straight hours of raw footage. We exclude the lulls, and focus on the important moments.

โ€‹

Depending on the flow of your day, the final film typically runs between 30 to 90 minutes. Most importantly, it is all real—if your best man speaks for 30 minutes, you receive every minute of that memory.
