Experience
We don't have packages. These are starting points.
Every film is built around your day. Tell us what you're planning and we'll tell you what it takes.
The Wedding Collection
-
This is you if
You're getting married close to home, or somewhere your people can drive to
There's a guest list and a timeline somebody else built
You already suspect you're going to miss half of your own wedding
How we film it
A wedding day is a machine. There's a schedule, a planner, a photographer, and about four hours where nothing happens the way anyone drew it up. We work inside that with your planner, not around them and we spend the day chasing the things the schedule doesn't account for. The morning with your friends. Your uncle at the bar. The forty seconds after the ceremony when nobody is looking at you yet.
You'll see about a third of your own wedding. We're there for the rest of it.
Not this one if
Everyone's flying in and it runs across a weekend. That's the Destination Collection.
The Elopement Collection
-
This is you if
It's the two of you, or close to it
Where you're going matters as much as the day itself
You'd rather hike two hours in than seat a hundred people
How we film it
There's no crowd to cut away to and no timeline to work around, which means the place and the two of you carry the entire film. So we plan around light instead of a schedule. We scout it, we'll tell you exactly which permits you need, and we build the day around where the sun will be rather than when a caterer needs the room
It also means we can move. If the weather turns, we go somewhere else. If the light will be better in an hour, we wait.
Not this one if
There's a ceremony with sixty guests and a reception after. That's the Wedding Collection, even if it's small.
-
This is you if
Everyone you love is getting on a plane
It's more than one day a welcome party, the wedding, something the morning after
You want the trip in the film, not just the ceremony
How we film it
When people fly somewhere for a wedding, the wedding isn't really the event. The trip is. So we come for the whole thing the welcome party, the parts between events, the morning everybody's hungover and nobody's dressed yet.
That's also the only way a wedding film gets a real beginning. Most of them open at nine in the morning on the day and end at midnight. Yours starts when everybody lands.
Not this one if
You're getting married at home and taking a honeymoon after. That's the Wedding Collection.
The Destination Collection
We don’t quote before we talk.
A number sent before a conversation is a guess. Tell us where and when, and we'll set up a call. You'll leave it knowing exactly what we'd do with your day and what it costs.
We’ll reply within 48 hours.
How we film
No two of our films are alike. The way we make them is.
-
We film what isn't on the schedule.
The bride alone for a minute before anyone comes in. Her mother, mid-sentence. Two friends on a porch who don't know we're there. There's no list for this knowing what's worth recording is most of the job, and it's the part you can't hand to a shot list.
-
We're in it, not watching it.
We're not a fly on the wall in the corner. We're in the room, in the conversation, part of the day.
-
You should be able to hear your wedding, not just watch it.
We chase sound as hard as we chase picture. Mics on people, mics on every camera, whatever a moment needs. Most wedding films hand you a song and two lines of vows. Yours should have voices in it.
-
The film should say something about who you are.
Vows and speeches tell us you got married. They don't tell us what you're like. So we ask sometimes sitting down, more often in passing, in the middle of something else. However it comes out, your voice belongs in the film, not just your ceremony.
-
The film and the record are two different things.
A film is a story, and stories leave things out. The full ceremony, all the speeches, the whole first dance that's a separate thing, and you can have it. Most couples want both. We'd rather tell you that now than have you wish you'd asked later.
-
The morning is the first thing people cut.
Coverage almost always gets trimmed from the front. The day starts at nine, we're booked from two, and the quiet hour your friends showing up, your mom seeing you for the first time, the last calm forty minutes you'll get happens with nobody in the room to film it.
That's the part couples ask us about afterward.
Book the whole day and you don't have to choose. You get the morning, the night, and everything in between, and nobody has to decide which half of your wedding was the important one.
-
We take our time.
Your film arrives about twelve weeks out. That's not a queue it's how long it takes to find the story inside a day's worth of footage.
-
Fill out the form with the basics. We'll reply within 48 hours and find a time to talk.
-
An hour, give or take. We want your story, your plans, what you actually care about, and who's going to be in the room. Then we'll tell you what we'd do with it and what it costs.
-
We send a proposal. A 50% retainer holds the date, and we'll build a payment schedule that works for you.
-
This is the part most studios skip. We'll talk more than once between now and then. Your timeline, your family, who's giving a speech, who hasn't spoken to who in a year. The more we know about your wedding, the better the film we can build out of it.
-
Your film arrives about twelve weeks later. Watch it somewhere private the first time with the audio turned up!
The Process
We’re not for everyone. We might be for you.
Tell us where the wedding is, when it is, and what you two are actually like.
