CUSTOM PROPOSAL

Casandra & Nicholas

One team, one vision for your day.

Hello friends!

It was such a pleasure meeting you both and hearing all about your dreams & vision for your beach-side wedding! Thank you for sharing all the fun & meaningful details with me and I’m so glad your wedding planning process has started to become less stressful now that you’ve been able to find your perfect vendors and all the beautiful details are coming together!

It was so fun hearing how you both met through a mutual friend and how your long distance relationship has grown & evolved into creating a life together in Sarnia with Ava! I loved hearing about your families and friends, and how your wedding will be incorporating all your closest loved ones and celebrating together! During our conversation we talked about how important it is for you to have bright & colourful photos of your wedding that truly emphasize the love between you both and your two families coming together. Just imagine sharing these moments with your future kids 10 years down the road! What a beautiful memory and gift!

Your Custom Proposal is designed to give you a completely customized option for your photography & video needs, based on what you actually want. I’m here for you, so if you have any questions please let me know and we can continue talking about them!

CINEMATIC STORYTELLING WEAVING TOGETHER THE HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR DAY

“PERSONAL & CUSTOMIZED”

“We had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Amanda and her team for a wedding, and the service she provided to our clients was second to none. Amanda’s approach was so personal and customized, leaving our clients feeling so connected and confident in the weeks leading up to their wedding day.”

- Kassia Tjia Events

The Amanda May Experience & Process

What to expect from the team.

THE APPROACH

A SYMPATHETIC GUIDE

We understand the delicate balance between documenting these once-in-a-lifetime emotions and respecting the moment. You can trust that we would never take advantage of your emotions or exploit these important moments for spectacle.

Which means we'll check in with you (and anyone we film!) throughout the day to ensure everyone feels cared for and comfortable. So, instead of treating your wedding day like a movie set, we'll set the stage with a little bit of direction and let your authentic interactions come to the surface. 

THE EXPERTISE

TIMELINE COLLABORATION

Even the most moving candid moments don’t happen by happenstance! Despite how natural our photos & films look, the most successful wedding days are the ones where we make space for emotions to unfold naturally. By helping you craft a timeline around the people and moments that mean the most to you, we will ensure your wedding photos & films follow your priorities too. You can count on us to be there at the right place and time to document what matters most. Then, we’ll turn it into something magical to experience, and will be easy to share!

THE SECRET SAUCE

PERSONALIZED SOUNDTRACK

As a filmmaker born from a long line of musicians, I understand the nuances of choosing the right songs for your film. By leaning into my extensive knowledge of music theory, I craft custom soundtracks that mix personal audio and music to match the feel of your wedding film.

Your film's audio will emphasize the different emotions of the day without taking away from your story. In order to create the perfect fit, I often mix together multiple songs for an intentional and creative soundtrack.
