Transcending Memory –
The Ecstasy of Your Day
The art and emotion of a wedding film is rooted in subtleties; the tone of a deep sigh or the movement of a loved one’s mannerism. So many nuances of human expression can’t be captured by still imagery, and they hold so much power within storytelling.
Wedding films are uniquely able to unlock the emotions within your memories and return the ecstasy of your wedding day. The synchronicity you felt, and the freedom of knowing nothing else mattered at that moment, that’s what I never want you to forget, and why I create wedding films.
01. PRE-PRODUCTION
Personal Attention and Intention
Intimate wedding films are crafted by intertwining the soul of your relationship with the experiences of your day. I create space to learn who you are individually and together, asking questions to understand your dynamic, as well as the details of your wedding day and your desires for your film. These conversations help me recognize the aesthetic, feeling, and nuances you’ve curated for your wedding and your relationship.
Examples of questions I ask:
What is the essence you are hoping to create for your ceremony?
What do you hope to remember the most from your day?
What is the vibe you're wanting to feel while celebrating at your reception?
02. The Wedding Experience
Release the DaY
I believe in keeping space for the breadth of emotions that accompany a wedding. Guiding couples through their experience, nurturing a feeling of presence, and capturing moments that are grounded in true emotion.
03. POST-PRODUCTION
THOUGHTFUL HANDS IN THE STUDIO
Crafting Visuals // Footage Selection
The soul of your film is created by pouring over the footage and hand selecting moments that reflect you as a couple, and your day. I begin with the major moments, then thread in the anticipation, joy, tears, and celebration that radiates from everyone supporting you. Every detail of your film is selected from not only my perspective as the filmmaker, but from yours’ as the couple.
Memories That speak // Adding Dialogue
A film isn’t built by visuals alone. Wedding’s are full of important dialogue from the officiant, vows, toasts. Beyond the words that are shared, is the inflection and tone, body language and expressions of those speaking, and those listening. The emotion this carries during your wedding, is magnified within your film.
Emotional Tones // Music Selection
Selecting music is a major part of the artistry when crafting my films.
The selection of songs I choose is 100% custom to your film, and is the foundation for the soundscape I create to form the structure, mood, aesthetic and emotion within the storyline. Songs are dissected, layered and paired with sound effects to form the foundation of the film.
While creating, I reference all of the questions we covered before the wedding day regarding your tastes in music, what’s important to you as a couple, and what reflects your wedding story I’m telling.
04. FILM DELIVERY
Receiving Your Heirloom
Take In The Story, Together - Experience Your Film.
I want your first time seeing your film to be a true experience. You’ll receive a link that will take you to a custom site showcasing your highlight film, along with any other edits that were included in your package. You’ll be able to watch your films on mobile, desktop, or TV.
A lot of couples make an evening of it, clear their schedules, open a bottle of wine and cuddle up together to relive the day.
