A summer wedding
The approach
Your wedding is not a production.
The best moments of a wedding can't be staged — the look on a father's face, the friend who loses it during the toast, the exit under the lights. The studio's job is to be exactly where those moments happen, without ever getting in their way, and to cut them into a film that feels like the day itself.
Documentary first
The day is covered as it actually happens. Direction is reserved for the few minutes it truly helps.
Cinematic always
Intentional light, considered composition, and an edit built to feel like the day — not a template.
Calm presence
You'll barely notice the camera. Guests shouldn't feel like they're on a set, and they won't.
A film that lasts
Trends age. The goal is a film you'll still love on your tenth anniversary.

Questions couples ask
The practical details
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can. The studio takes a limited number of weddings each year, and popular dates go first. Reach out as soon as you have a date — even a tentative one.
Do you travel?
Yes. Travel is quoted per wedding based on location. Destination weddings are welcome — send the details through the inquiry form.
How would you describe your style?
Documentary first, cinematic always. Real moments over staged ones, natural light where possible, and an edit that feels like the day — not like a template.
When will we receive our film?
Timelines are confirmed in your agreement before the wedding, so you always know exactly what to expect and when.
Can we choose the music?
Music is licensed for your film, and your taste shapes the direction. We'll talk through the feel you want before the edit begins.
How does pricing work?
Every wedding is quoted individually based on coverage, deliverables, and location. Start with the inquiry form and you'll get a clear, itemized proposal — no pressure, no hidden line items.
