We take a quiet, intentional approach—balancing unobtrusive documentary-style coverage with thoughtful direction when needed. Our goal is to preserve the authentic feeling of your day, capturing both the cinematic and the deeply personal.
Our collections include multi-camera coverage, licensed music, a handcrafted feature film, and a cinematic preview edit perfect for sharing. We also offer optional add-ons like full ceremony edits, toasts, drone footage, and behind-the-scenes content.
Our feature films typically range from 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the flow of your day, the number of events covered, and the energy of your story. We focus on quality, emotion, and narrative—not runtime.

Celebration-focused: Whether it’s an engagement session or wedding day, we want you to enjoy the experience—laugh, move, and connect naturally.

Engagement sessions: 2–3 weeks.
Weddings: 4–6 weeks for photos; 8–12 weeks for films.
