INVESTMENT
Investment in Your Memories
Long after the music fades, the flowers wilt, and the dress is carefully packed away, what remains are the memories and how vividly you can relive them.
Wedding cinematography is not just another line item in your wedding budget. It is the only investment that allows you to see, hear, and feel your wedding day again. The laughter in your vows. The nerves before you walk down the aisle. The emotion in your parents’ voices. The way your partner looks at you when no one else is watching.
"Photography freezes moments. Film brings them back to life."
Couples often tell us the same thing after their wedding: “The day went by so fast.” And it’s true. Your wedding is a live, unrepeatable event. There are no do-overs. Without film, many of the moments you never saw or never even knew happened are gone forever.
When you invest in wedding cinematography, you’re choosing to preserve the moments you’ll want to revisit on anniversaries, share with future generations, and experience again when memories begin to fade. This is the one investment that grows more valuable with time.
No Two Weddings Are the Same
Your story is unique. Your wedding should be treated the same way.
That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages.
Every couple, every venue, every celebration carries its own rhythm, energy, and emotion.
From intimate elopements to multi-day celebrations, we customize each collection to reflect what matters most to you. Coverage time, storytelling style, locations, and priorities all play a role in crafting a film that feels authentic and personal.
Our process begins with listening, understanding your vision, your personalities, and how you want to remember your day. From there, we design a custom investment that aligns with your needs and ensures nothing meaningful is missed.
Every wedding is a live, once-in-a-lifetime event. Timelines shift, emotions unfold naturally, and the most meaningful moments often happen in between what’s planned. Our experience allows us to anticipate and capture those moments as they happen, which is why your coverage must be custom, so your film reflects the day as it truly was, not a formula.
Backed by 20+ years of experience, our films have allowed couples in the different parts of the U.S. to relive their most meaningful moments with elegance and intention.
Wedding cinematography collections begin at $3,400 for 6 hours of coverage, with most couples choosing to invest $3,900 for eight hours of on-site coverage, allowing for a more complete and immersive storytelling experience and deliverables.
Your wedding film is thoughtfully crafted with a cinematic runtime ranging from 4–6 minutes to 8–10 minutes or more, depending on the scope of your celebration. Each film is delivered through a private, custom-designed digital gallery, created for effortless viewing and sharing.
Every collection is tailored exclusively to your wedding day. No two love stories unfold the same way, and we believe your film should reflect that individuality. By curating a bespoke experience, we ensure your story is captured with intention, artistry, and timeless elegance.
