Concept
" WHAT WE DO"
Our signature is to create something deeper than a standard wedding video. To achieve this, we have a method in place that allows us to nail it every single time. In simple terms, without giving away our secret sauce, we meet with you before the big day and let the camera roll. This could be during your engagement photoshoot, a family gathering, or the day before your wedding, when everyone you love is nearby and emotions are running high. However, we also create stunning films focused solely on the day of the wedding.
" PHOTOGRAPHY"
Rest assured, you're in good hands. It's particularly beneficial to have both photography and filming services especially when we meet multiple times. For instance, during your engagement photoshoot, we can also conduct brief interviews. This streamlined approach means you only need to coordinate with one vendor—us.
We collaborate closely with Anna Murray Photography. Feel free to explore their work. However, you're welcome to choose another photographer for your special day.
" THE END PRODUCT"

That's the beauty of our films. They're treasured time capsules, allowing you to relive every detail. As the years go by, their worth only increases.
Imagine someday sharing the laughter, the tears, and those glances with your children, making them feel as if they were right there with you.

“Couldn’t recommend Ivan enough! He captured our wedding day in March and tonight we sat down and relived the moment all over again. He truly captured the essence of our day, and tonight I found myself tearing up smiling at his masterpiece. Not only is he super talented but he has been an absolute breeze to work with. We are beyond happy that we chose him, because now I have these memories for ever, and that in itself is priceless.”
