Memories in Photos and Movies for Your Lifetime
You get pictures and movies that recall your wedding story honestly, authentically, and creatively.
You’ll get a sneak peek gallery with music within 7 days. And the entire gallery with high-resolution images and unlimited downloads and printing rights within 8 weeks. Completing your wedding film will take up to six months after your wedding, at maximum.
We usually deliver 75-100 images per hour of coverage, at least 600 shots for a wedding story. The movie trailer is at least 3 minutes to 5 minutes, depending on the wedding photography and videography package you book.
Most couples don’t feel photogenic or fear being in front of the camera and having to perform. We promise we will be very subtle so you enjoy your shoot. We will not work through any pre-made poses but will show your love for each other as it really is.
Most stunning pictures are created when you forget both of us and feel deeply connected. We will give gentle instructions to make you look even better if required. We playfully switch between movements and moments in which you are very intimate with each other.
The more time we have for your couple shoot, the more relaxed you feel, and the more authentic the results are. The magic usually begins after we’ve been with you for at least 15-20 minutes.
Indeed, we accomplish everything we can by providing backup locations and alternative plans. And we react flexibly and work around the weather, taking all options to shoot when available. We photograph you guys with a transparent umbrella or indoors if it rains heavily. No worries, we always get images with great atmosphere and intimacy, even when it’s raining.
We have backup cameras if our primary camera has any problems. Furthermore, we always save all pictures on two separate memory cards. If one card becomes corrupted, we have a second for safety. But having shot over 250 weddings and captured over 200 000 images, we’ve never lost a single one.
We can assist you in planning your elopement wedding in as little as a few weeks, but ideally, we love to plan between 12 and 15 months in advance. Booking as early as you can guarantee we are available on your dream date.
Yes, we photograph and film small weddings and elopements, including up to 50 guests.
Photos and videos are timeless treasures that help us recall past times.
They can keep our memories alive as we age and visually bring back our best times.
Photos can also help motivate us and revive our dreams and hopes in difficult moments. And when we lose loved ones, photos help us remember them and feel close to them.
Photos are a window into our past and allow us to connect with our history and roots.
