The experience

Experience.is.everything. When booking with us it's not just the wedding day experience, we are with you from start of wedding prep to final day delivery, and beyond.  From getting to know each other, to preparation guides, sample timelines, tricks + tips, to delivery, we believe in communication. We want you to know that we are on it because the day of your wedding you should be fully immersed in that energy. We want you to feel calm and comfortable knowing that because of our relationship and communication leading up to the big day has enabled all of us to just dive right into that wedding day bliss.

Our job as cinematographers and photographers is to not only document the day but when it's all over, to carefully go through the hours of film and photos as if they were our own. Our relationship spans before your wedding and after. We spend weeks crafting your memories into heirloom keepsakes for you to enjoy for the rest of your lives. When you receive your film and photo galleries we want you to be transported right back to that very moment in time. From the ambiance of the birds chirping, waves crashing, and wind blowing the trees. To the looks exchanged, to speeches and toasts, the epic drone views, and ALL the love.

We believe it is important to document what you've worked so hard for, but also LIVED so hard for. All the memories, family, friendships, and togetherness leading up to this day, it is truly a once in a lifetime celebration.

experience is everything

" This video was perfect in every way: the quality, the editing, the music, the footage, the feeling the film evokes, 
EVERYTHING. "

" The videos that they delivered to us were stunning and captured the energy of our wedding perfectly as well as the beautiful scenery of our location, blending everything together amazingly to help us relive the happiest day of our lives over and over again! "

" We are beyond thrilled with their work and believe they were able to capture so many genuine moments because of how comfortable they made everyone around them feel. "

“ The entire day was such a blur and they were able to capture every single detail- many of which both of us overlooked or forgot. I could never image not having a video to watch and reflect upon after the wedding- we laughed, we cried, and we relived the best day of our lives thanks to these two amazing humans. "

The Investment

Why We do what we do

One thing we do love about our job is that this investment is the gift that keeps on giving. Every anniversary, every time you're missing your person, and eventually your kids will be able to watch this on repeat whenever and wherever. After the planning, the kiss, the cake, and the dancing, your investment for films and photographs is what you will have left. We not only want you to have the best day and experience ever but we want you to have every single moment and detail documented for you forever. 

Our job as cinematographers and photographers is to not only document the day and carefully go through the hours of film and photos as if they were our own, but also create an amazing experience.

?

+ HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU SEND?

We always have at least two people at a wedding. We like to be able to provide full coverage so nothing is missed. The day goes by so fast and things shift so we like to be able to have wiggle room when and if it comes down to it, so we feel two professionals is best.

We come from a long line of makers, artists, directors, camera operators, show creators, and all sorts of creative blood runs through our veins. We picked up cameras over ten years ago and haven’t put them down since. The love of visuals and storytelling really began in college while we were getting our BFA’s in Communication and Media Studies. Not only were we learning the technical stuff but also the ways to really engage the real, raw, and human side to authentic storytelling.

+ HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS?

Get in touch and let’s reserve that date! We book anywhere from 6 to 18+ months out. If you know you want us, we highly recommend booking as soon as you are able. Once booked, then comes the fun stuff- THE PLANNING!

+ HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

Wherever your love takes you, we will be there! We have traveled all over the world and would be happy to go the distance for your wedding. From the Icelandic summer sun to the slopes of the British Columbia, we want to be there for you.

+ DO YOU TRAVEL?

+ DO I NEED AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

Yes, we do! Traditional payments are 33% due at the time of booking (within the week) and the final 67% is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. If you are wanting to do the payment plan we can split the payment schedule into 1/3’s or even ¼’s if that works best for you. Whatever you need, you got it!

+ DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Very important question. YES, we are fully insured. If your venue needs a certificate, we would be happy to provide it. 

+ ARE YOU INSURED?

While an engagement session isn’t necessary, they definitely are helpful and dare I say, FUN! We love getting you behind our lens because not only do you get a taste of the epicness of professional photos, but also we get to know you and you get to know us. An engagement session is a great way to get comfortable for the big day, practice snuggling, and being in the moment. PLUS you get awesome photographs for your save-the-dates, invites, and prints for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ DO YOU HAVE A DRONE AND ARE YOU CERTIFIED?

Yes! We LOVE our drones. We are well known for our sweeping aerial views and absolutely love this piece of equipment. We also STRONGLY believe that flying safe is the most important thing. Ben, our drone pilot, is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration and we are fully insured. It is really important to abide by the laws of the air. Wherever we fly, we always will have the permission of air traffic control and the proper permits. We're flying safely, we're covered, and you're covered. 

Yes! We feel it is really important to be the most prepared we can. Technology is never certain so bringing backup cameras, audio equipments, and lenses ensures us that we will be ready for anything

+ DO YOU HAVE BACKUP EQUIPMENT?

+ WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?

We want you to look back and see authentic moments, our style is cinematic and documentary. We want you to be able to live your day through your photos and films again and again and see the big moments, the small, the obvious, and the subtle. We want to create a comfortable bubble for you and your guests to just BE.
