Wedding Memories That Feel Like YOU
Hi Avery Kate & Elijah,
It was so good talking with you both today! Congratulations again, and I love that April 24th already means something to the two of you. You said your vows to each other on that date in 2026, and now you get the big magical celebration on the same day in 2027, with everybody you love in the room. A pastel, floral spring wedding at CeNita Vineyards is going to be beautiful.
What stood out most is what you said about the day going by in a blur. You told me you know you'll be the bride who looks back and thinks, oh shoot, I forgot how many things happened. That is exactly what your film is for. Your vows, the speeches you already know are going to make you cry, whatever your brother and your dad end up saying, the father daughter dance. Those are the moments we build your story around.
You also said you want to watch it back every anniversary, and one day show it to your kids, the same way you grew up loving old clips and photos of your family. Your mom's one regret about her own wedding was not hiring a videographer. That is not going to be your regret.
You were also honest about not feeling natural in front of a camera. You said you would rather someone tell you to fix your hair than find out about it later in the photos. Our team will. That is a big part of why I'm putting Jalyssa on photo and Jonny on video for your day. Jalyssa photographs most of our weddings and is wonderful at warm, clear direction, and Jonny is one of my most trusted videographers. I personally edit every film and every gallery that goes out, so what you get back will look exactly like the work you fell in love with. You can read more about both of them toward the bottom of this page.
Since you're skipping the first look and starting the morning with a prayer and breakfast together before you go your separate ways, the first time Elijah sees you will be as you come down the aisle. With two photographers and two videographers, we catch both sides of that at once, his face and yours. Below you'll find three collections built around your 4:00 ceremony. Look them over with your mom, and we'll walk through everything together on our call Wednesday at 4.

What is a “Bride’s Choice” Film?
The Bride's Choice Film is a full-length documentary of your wedding day, not a highlight reel. Every meaningful moment from beginning to end: the ceremony in full, the speeches, the quiet in-between parts that most films leave on the cutting room floor. It is edited to feel honest and unhurried, so years from now you are not just seeing the best moments. You are reliving the whole day. If you would rather have the raw footage to keep and do what you want with, that option is yours too. That is what the choice means.
About Your Second Shooters
Since you and Elijah aren't doing a first look, the very first time he sees you will be as you walk down the aisle. With one photographer and one videographer, we have to choose which of you to capture in that moment. With two of each, we get both at once: you coming down the aisle, and his face when he sees you. A second team also means getting ready coverage for both of you, extra angles during the ceremony and the speeches, and more candids of your big families all night. It's the one upgrade I'd point you toward, and it's included in The Highlight Film and The Feature Film.

About Your Engagement Session/Story Session
Both of these happen with me personally, before the wedding. The Engagement Session is the photo version, the Story Session is the video version, and either one gets you and Elijah comfortable in front of a camera long before the big day. You'll see exactly how we direct you, how easy it feels, and how good the two of you look. If feeling awkward on camera is the worry, this is the cure, and it means Jalyssa and Jonny show up on your wedding day already knowing exactly how to shoot the two of you. Your engagement photos are yours to use for save the dates. The Engagement Session is included in The Highlight Film and The Feature Film, the Story Session is included in The Feature Film, and either one is easy to add to The Home Video.
Additional Hour of Coverage ($300)
If your day runs long, or you decide you want the whole reception and a big send off covered, this keeps your full team there.Video Guest Book ($300 - Second Videographer Recommended)
An interactive video station where your guests leave personal messages and memories throughout the night. Those clips come back to you as a keepsake film, capturing voices and laughter that would otherwise be lost. Included in The Highlight Film and The Feature Film.Story Session ($400)
Think of it as a video engagement session. We meet up before the wedding, just the two of you and the camera, so that by your wedding day the camera already feels familiar. It is also your chance to tell the story of how you two met, which gives your wedding film a beginning that no highlight reel can manufacture. Included in The Feature Film.Bride's Choice Film ($250 Upgrade from the Full Wedding Day Film)
A full length documentary of your wedding day instead of a highlight reel. The ceremony in full, the speeches, and the quiet in between parts most films leave out, edited to feel honest and unhurried. If you would rather have the raw footage to keep and do whatever you want with, that option is yours instead. That is what the choice means. Included in The Feature Film.
Meet Jalyssa, Your Lead Photographer
I'm fully booked on April 24th, but I meant it when I said I would not leave you hanging. Jalyssa is the photographer I trust most with our couples. She leads the photography on most of our weddings, especially when our team is capturing both photo and video, so the style you told me you love from our galleries is work she has been a huge part of creating. She's trained by me, shoots in our exact style, and she is wonderful at the thing you asked for most: warm, clear direction. She will tell you where to stand, what to do with your hands, and she will absolutely tell you if your hair needs fixing, because you said you would rather know. She runs a structured, organized day, and I'll still be right here alongside you through the whole process, building your timeline with you and just a text or email away.
Meet Jonny, Your Lead Videographer
Jonny is the videographer I trust most with our couples, and he is the one I am matching to your April date. He brings the same calm, unobtrusive presence our team is known for, the kind that lets real moments breathe instead of turning your wedding into a production. He has a gift for finding the quiet, candid in between parts of the day, which is exactly what you told me you are afraid of forgetting: the vows, the speeches, whatever your dad and your brother say when the room goes still. He steps in and guides you when it helps, and gives a moment space when it needs it. Then every frame he shoots comes back to me. Jonny captures your day, and I personally edit your film, so what you receive is the same storytelling you fell in love with on our website.

What Makes Us Different
Natural Direction
You told me you want someone who will tell you where to stand and what to do with your hands.
Jalyssa and Jonny do exactly that, real guidance when you need it and freedom when you don't, so you feel comfortable, confident, and still fully yourselves.
Detail Awareness
Most couples don't realize how much small details affect the final result. Your team actively watches for things like positioning, lighting, and small distractions, so your photos and film feel polished without any extra effort from you.
One Unified Team
Your photo and video team is one team, not two.
Jalyssa and Jonny shoot together on most of our weddings, so they already know how the other one moves. One unit, one shot list, nothing competing for your attention.
Film Over Highlight
Most wedding videos feel like a montage set to music.
Jonny captures the real moments and the real audio on the day, and I build your film around them, so your story feels authentic and not just aesthetic.
✨ What Happens Next
You’ve got options, and I want to help you choose what feels right.
We're already set for our call this Wednesday at 4, where I'll walk you through each collection, answer any questions, and customize anything that needs adjusting. Bring your mom if she's free, and look everything over together beforehand. If a pressing question comes up sooner, you can always text or email me.
Once you’re ready, I’ll send over a booking link with your contract and invoice. A $1,000 retainer officially secures your date, and from there, we’re off to the races.
A quick note on pricing: if you pay in full, you'll take 5% off your collection.
Here’s how it all goes down:
We chat through the collections and customize if needed
I send the contract + booking link
You sign and place your $1,000 retainer
Your date is officially locked in 🎉
We celebrate (and maybe pop some bubbly 🍾)
