Our Philosophy
No one wants the same old cookie-cutter wedding video and we would get bored producing them. Our work is constantly evolving and improving and we are inspired by everything around us; film, television, music, art, photography and other creative pursuits as well as each couple we meet and each wedding we attend. We are not afraid to think outside the box to create something unique and special. We welcome input from our clients regarding the way they see their final video and work closely with them to deliver the video they hoped for.
Everything about our business is a reflection of what we were looking for in our wedding vendors; from the work we do down to the way we treat our clients. We are no non-sense when it comes to the way we run our business. We treat each couple the way we wanted to be treated when we were a bride and groom. We don't employ marketing trickery, up-selling or gimmicks to get you to hire us. What you see is what you get. We want you to hire us because you love our work, love our personalities and feel it in your gut and your heart that we are the right choice for your wedding. We hated feeling like we were being sold at every turn and we don’t do that to the brides and grooms we meet with.
We set our prices so that there is a video for everyone’s budget and each package includes shooting your whole day. We post our starting price online
We also do something that we believe most vendors do not do. We encourage couples that meet with us to meet with other videographers, following the well known quote "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, is yours. If not, it was not meant to be.” Ninety-nine percent of the people that meet with us, book us to film their wedding, even after visiting with other videographers. The reason? They tell us it is the high quality of our work, how comfortable they felt talking with us and our pricing was best when compared to other videographers.
We want to work with clients who are as excited as we are about the video we can make for them and who see the in us what we were looking for in our vendors; honesty, personality, creativity, passion and enthusiasm.

Our Style
Our goal is to give you the most comprehensive documentation of your wedding day that we can. By the end of your wedding, we have shot much more footage than the average videographer would. We don't want you to come back to us and say, "how come you didn't catch my best friend sliding down the stair rail?" That is something that happened at our wedding and we only know this from word of mouth since we never saw it and no one caught it on film; the cameras were all shut off by that point in the evening. We want to give you the wedding video that we wish we had (for more on this see About Us).
Our wedding films are truly unlike the video that you probably associate with the words "wedding video" and that is because we approach the whole process from a fresh and very different perspective. Using Jenn’s background in film, we make you a video that plays like a movie and is personalized to you and your wedding. The films are never boring. Even your family and friends will want to watch your video over and over again. What makes the difference?
Our wedding videos are produced in the style that we were looking for when we got married; cinematic, modern and sophisticated. Something simple, tasteful, elegant and timeless with just enough fun and whimsy that it will age well over time, but not be so boring that you feel the need to skip ahead. We add a creative edge to make your video visually stunning without going over-the-top with gimmicky effects, cheesy animations, or wild edits that belong in a music video or PowerPoint presentation, not a wedding film. Because you choose the style of your video and we plan ahead for what things you would like to see, you get the video that you want. Most videographers will give you the video that they make everyone in the style that they choose. We involve you in the process as much or as little as you want to be. We take requests for specific shots, specific effects and specific coverage, unlike many videographers that just do it only one way. We take all the information that you give us before the wedding and use it to create the video that you have been dreaming of, only better.
We understand that we are not simply filming a wedding. We are filming a celebration with family and close friends and all the emotion that comes with it; the look on mom and dad's face when their daughter is given away, the smiles from your friends as they watch you take your vows, the happiness of the moment when you are pronounced husband and wife; the excitement on your faces as you make your entrance at the reception; the look of pure love and calm in the moment when the you share your first dance and appear to be the only people in a huge crowd, the joy and tears of the mom dancing with her son; the pride and release of daddy dancing with his little girl, even the tears of mom as she watches from the crowd; the sentimental moments during the toasts and the energy on the dance floor throughout the reception and the laughter from your guests as they have fun at the best wedding they ever attended.
We love every detail, big and small; from the personal touches at your ceremony to the beautiful décor and hand picked details that envelop the reception space. We look for each and every detail and every single moment and incorporate it into a wedding film for you to look back on and remember your wedding exactly as it happened.

On your wedding day, we stay in the background as much as we possibly can. Our intention is to capture the real moments and real emotions of your wedding day. We place our focus not only on you, but also on your guests. We understand that every person invited to your wedding is special to you. Our hope is that as you watch your video, you will see everyone that was there at some point in the video. We do this at various moments and in such a way that most of your guests will never even know that they were filmed. We want to catch everyone in a moment, not create them. We are respectful of you and your guests as we film your wedding so that you and your guests will not feel uncomfortable or self-conscious because the camera is looming. The comment that we hear most at the end of the night, “We never saw you.” The comments we get when the videos are viewed, “You caught (insert moment) and it looked like you were right there, but I never noticed you filming that!” These are the comments that we hope for.
Finished DVDs include all the things that we would want in a video if we were looking today; complete chapter selections for every moment (not just two: Ceremony and Reception), a digital copy of your highlights so you can add them to you favorite mobile devices or social sites, custom artwork for your coverbox and DVD faces that are designed specifically for you using stills taken from the video we shoot (not a generic “Our Wedding” box or other pre-designed coverbox that everyone gets). Ask to see samples when you meet with us. Each wedding coverbox and DVD design is as unique as each couple and each wedding film.
