"Your wedding film should feel like an instant classic"

explore the feature films

I have always had an extreme facination with the cinema experience as far back as I can remember. I want our couples to experience that same feeling. Chills, emotion, euphoria, wonder,  and honest wow are the reactions we are always striving for. We will not deliver a film until we personally get all of those feelings. Your wedding film will be an instant classic, a staple for years to come. 

Two Auburn Sweethearts married at the beautiful Burlington Plantation. One of our favorite venues in Charles City, Virginia. 

An incredibly strong story about becoming a Mom, family, and staple for the household.  Shot at the beautiful Upper Shirley Vineyards. From the Story session, to the reherasal, finishing at the wedding day, this became one of our favorite films.

A story about two hard working people with support group like no other. Emotional, and uplifting vows, with a heck of a reception! 

A swipe right on a dating app turns into a lifetime of love in Downtown Richmond. This film by far is everything we hope to achieve in all of our films. Enjoy! 

I have always been inspired by different "FILM COLOR". We try to emulate different film looks and techniques into our footage so that your film color lasts the test of time. Typically, we like to color to the wedding day and how it "felt", but overall have fairly neutral  film photo look to our footage.

OUR EDITING STYLE is not going to be for everyone. & that is okay. We focus so much on telling our couples story which is why none of our films are like the last. Our ideal client is one who is interested in booking us based off our style of story telling rather than the next trendy wedding highlight clip. We incorporate footage from our pre-wedding shoot, Iphone memories, and obviously the most important moments through the wedding day

MUSIC is the spine of our films. We spend hours on hours looking to create a film scores that actually feels like a movie, and not another cheesy wedding clip. We want you to FEEL what you are watching deep in your bones for decades to come.

 Originally I thought a wedding video wasn’t necessary and a place to cut costs... NOW I can’t imagine now not having this video that embodied the feeling of our big day perfectly! I love his cinematic style, it brings me to tears when I watch it.

From inquiry to video delivery day, Dan's communication was incredible. He and Tori were so kind, and truly enjoyable to have around as a part of our big day! 1000% could not have picked a better duo for the job!
