“Instructions for living a life:

Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”

— Mary Oliver

what happened, the way it happened

No posing. None. You’re not having a traditional wedding — why would you have a traditional wedding video? This is not a production or a recreation of your tiny wedding day. This is a memory of it.

If you’re looking for crystal clear, gimbal-smooth slow-mo clips of your tiny wedding day set to a trendy Instagram audio, then we probably aren’t the elopement filmmakers for you. We try our hardest to film the way a memory looks, the way it almost blurs around the edges. Soft light, organic grain, and emotional moments — captured candidly and lovingly on handheld movie film.
