You may be asking: Why me?

Because I believe the best films are ones that evoke emotion, pull at your heartstrings and capture you and your partner’s authentic love. I care about how you feel during your wedding and how you remember your big day. I care about your experience, which is why I’ll be your next best friend by coordinating with your vendor team, scouting locations, and ensuring you have a smooth wedding planning experience.

The Process

1.

Booking Day

After you inquire, we’ll set up a quick video call so I can learn more about your vision for your wedding and answer any of your questions. We’ll discuss two customized packages and select the one that fits you the best. A 30% deposit and signed contract is required to reserve your date.

2.

Your Wedding Day

My mission is to document, not produce. This means I’ll be capturing everything as it happens: the emotional tears of joy, candid smiles, and details you spent time planning. I want you to be able to re-listen to your vows and remember the experience you had with your friends and family.

3.

Delivery Day

I pride myself on crafting a film that are unique to your love story. You can expect your film within 12 weeks, delivered digitally. If you opted for Collection II, you will also recieve your films on a video album & USB. In the meanwhile, I’ll be sending you a 60 second social media trailer within two business days.

With custom packages available, you can be assured your film and experience will be like no other. If you are working with a certain budget, feel free to reach out and I will send you a custom quote.
