Wedding Photography & Films Guide

ONE TEAM, ONE VISION

One team & one vision of your wedding day.

Capturing Timeless & Emotional Weddings For Fun-Loving Couples

Your wedding films & photos should reflect your personality, capture meaningful moments, and most importantly tell your love story. And we’re here to help! As we see it, you should never feel uncomfortable around your videographers & photographers, OR in front of the camera. That's why, for us, connection is key. So that's where we'll begin. Throughout our time together, we’ll listen to understand what you want in a wedding collection so we can create videos & photos that are emotional and unique-to-you. The result will be a collection of films & images that showcase the heart behind your wedding and highlights you, your values & your relationship.

“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

CINEMATIC STORYTELLING
WEAVING TOGETHER THE HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR DAY

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.
