Art is personal and touches everyone differently. We all have our own unique style and creative vision that we bring to this world. It’s important that you find a videographer whose work you love - and will bring out the best of who you are in your film.
A great wedding film doesn’t just re-play the events of your day, it captures your relationship and focuses on the energy and emotions. It’s timeless, so that when you watch it 10 years from now, you’ll feel that same happiness you felt on your wedding day.
Your wedding film plays a big part in how you remember your day.

Let’s do this! All wedding dates are available on a first come, first served basis, and our calendar fills up quickly. Dates will be reserved by submitting a completed contract and retainer. As soon as you’re ready, give us the go ahead and we’ll send you a contract/payment form to review and submit.
Before we book with any of our couples we want to get to know each other over email, phone, zoom or whatever works best for you. You can ask any questions you may have, figure out how we fit together and whether our style is right for you. Afterall, you spend a lot of time with your videographer on your day, so you’ll want to find someone you feel completely comfortable around.
Our work has a very specific style and artistic direction, focusing on personalized weddings of couples who want a timeless art piece to relive their day. We invite you to explore the films on our website and share your thoughts with us on the ones you love and why. It will go a long way to ensure we’re a great fit for you.

How it Works
Having Laura and Dakin as our wedding videographer was one of the highlights of our wedding. Their work is just so beautiful we fell in love before we even reached out to them...I can’t recommend them enough for anyone who is looking for a wedding videographer, or just an amazing videographer in general.
The day of your wedding is a whirlwind of activity and emotions and it all goes by so unbelievably fast. It is so special to be able to look back on all of those moments and be able to share them with your loved ones.
It made both myself and my now husband tear up remembering all the wonderful memories! We were originally on the fence about having a videographer, but we both think it was the best decision we made with our wedding.
Breathtaking work! Amazing team and so down to earth. My wedding video was done so well, so far everyone I have shown it to has teared up! What is even more amazing is the fact that you barely realize that your video is being taken!
They do the most amazing job of capturing the incredible feelings from your most special day that I was brought to tears watching some of their work...When we received our wedding films, they were more amazing than I ever could have imagined.
Our wedding video was by far the best, and most invaluable part of the wedding! When I look back, I don’t see the stressors of schedules and coordination; I remember why we did this whole wedding thing in the first place—because we couldn’t imagine a life without one another!!! ...I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you! We will be in touch with you shortly!
