Wedding photo and film that feel like you

A note before you scroll

Hi Paige and Andrew

It was so good talking with you, Paige. Meeting on Bumble in a city as big as LA, finding out you went to the same college, getting engaged on Lake Como, and now bringing a little piece of Italy home to Monteluce so your grandmothers can be there. That is a story I would love to be part of telling.

Here is what I heard matters most to you:

  • Andrew seeing you for the very first time as you walk down the aisle
  • Your grandmothers being there, which is a big part of why you chose Georgia
  • Andrew's family traveling in, and your whole wedding party together in one place
  • A mix of classic portraits and candid moments, with a little help relaxing in front of the camera
  • Photos you will turn into a printed book, and a film you can put on every anniversary and someday show your kids

The reason I do photo and video as one team is simple. When you hire them separately, two vendors end up standing in the same spot wanting the same moment, and one of them loses. Here nobody is competing. We plan the day together, we cover it together, and you deal with one person instead of two.

What I am watching for all day is the in between. Andrew seeing you for the very first time as you walk down the aisle. Your grandmothers watching the two of you. Andrew's family, who traveled in, sharing a room with yours, maybe for the only time. Those happen once and they do not wait for a camera to get into position, so I stay ahead of the day instead of chasing it.

The other half of the job is how the day feels while it is happening. You should not feel managed. Most of the time you will forget we are there. You mentioned you both feel a little awkward in front of the camera. That is most couples, and it is exactly what I am there for. When you do need direction I will give it to you gently, and you will look like yourselves, not like people being posed. My goal is that you get to the end of the night having actually been at your own wedding instead of running it.

Below you will find three collections. I also added real examples of the Home Video Edit and the Video Guest Book so you can see exactly what you would be getting, and our film from Mary and Michael's Monteluce wedding is right below this note. Feel free to send this to your mom, and we can walk through it together on our call next Friday.

The Monteluce film I promised you

What I Am Actually Building For You

Something You Rewatch

The bar is not work that looks good the week it lands. It is a gallery and a film you still put on years from now. Real audio, real moments, and an edit that does not perform the day at you. It just catches it and gets out of the way.

A Day You Get To Live

One team means one plan and one point of contact. I stay ahead of the moments so you never have to manage them, and when you need direction I give it quietly and get out of the way again.

The Whole Thing, Not A Montage

The full ceremony. Every toast. Every song. That is what the full length film is for, and the gallery works the same way. True to color, edited to last, built around the moments you tell me matter most. The kind of thing you hand down.

Three Collections

Every collection includes a full length film of your day

Collection One

The Directors Cut

12 hours of coverage

Pick this one if you want the entire day on record, the first hour of getting ready through the last song, and you would rather have too much than wonder later what got missed.

  • 2 photographers + 2 videographers
  • Full team for all 12 hours
  • All edited images, approximately 2,000 photos
  • 10 minute highlight film
  • The Home Video Edit
  • The Story Session, photo and video
  • Video Guest Book
  • Professional audio equipment
  • Golden hour portraits in the Monteluce vineyards if the light and timeline allow
Photo and video together$8,000
Collection Two

The Feature Film

10 hours of coverage

Pick this one if you want a full photo and video team on the parts of the day that matter most, without paying for the quietest hours on either end.

  • 2 photographers + 2 videographers
  • Second photographer and second videographer for 7 hours
  • All edited images, approximately 1,500 photos
  • 7 minute highlight film
  • Full Wedding Day Film
  • Weekday photo engagement session
  • Video Guest Book
  • Professional audio equipment
  • Golden hour portraits in the Monteluce vineyards if the light and timeline allow
Photo and video together$7,000
Collection Three

The Home Video

8 hours of coverage

Pick this one if your priority is the ceremony and the heart of the night, documented properly, and the extras matter less to you than getting the day itself right.

  • 2 photographers + 1 videographer
  • All edited images, approximately 1,000 photos
  • 5 minute highlight film
  • Full Wedding Day Film
  • Professional audio equipment
Photo and video together$5,500
Every collection includes a full length film of your wedding day. What changes between them is how much of the day that film can cover. The Directors Cut runs 12 hours with two videographers, so the Home Video Edit is the most complete version there is, from the earliest part of getting ready through the end of the night, with almost nothing of the day left out. The Feature Film and The Home Video include the Full Wedding Day Film, the same kind of start to finish edit, built from the hours in that collection.
For the two of you

Why This Fits You

One Team You Can Trust

You said having photo and video done by one team was important to you.That is how every one of these collections works. One plan, one timeline, one point of contact, and a crew that already knows how to stay out of each other's way so nobody misses the aisle moment.

Gentle Direction

You said you both feel a little awkward in front of the camera.Your Lake Como photographer helped you loosen up just by moving you, and that is exactly how I work. I will tell you where to put your hands and how to stand, then step back and let you be yourselves.

Family On Purpose

Your grandmothers are a big part of why this wedding is in Georgia.With Andrew's family flying in and your whole wedding party together, some of these people may never share a room again. I will make sure they are part of the story, not just in the background of it.

Made To Revisit

You want a printed book at home and a film for anniversaries and your kids.Everything is edited with that in mind: a gallery that holds up page after page, and a film you will actually want to put on in ten years, not just the week it arrives.

“When my husband and I started wedding planning, we decided that our first priority was photography and videography and that it would be our biggest investment for the wedding. It was all worth it. Pictures and videos is all you get after any special event for your memories, so please make sure you invest in this and I swear you will never regret it.”

What Is A Home Video Edit?

The Home Video Edit is your entire wedding day, not a highlight reel. Every clip we film, from the first hour of getting ready through the last song, with only the dead air taken out. The ceremony in full, every toast, and all of the in between moments that a normal film leaves on the cutting room floor.

The highlight film is the trailer. The Full Wedding Day Film is the big moments in full: the ceremony, the speeches, the dances. The Home Video Edit is everything, usually three to four hours of your day to put on years from now.

This is Ashley and Javier's, so you can see what that feels like. Skip around to any part of their day.

About The Story Session

Think of it as a photo and video engagement session in one. We meet up before the wedding, just the two of you and the camera, and we spend an hour together. Part of it is practical. By the time your wedding day comes around, being photographed and filmed already feels normal, so nothing about the day feels like a production.

The bigger part is the story. How you met, what nearly did not happen, where the two of you ended up. That backstory adds something no highlight reel can manufacture. It gives everyone watching a real sense of who you are before the ceremony even starts.

The Story Session is photo and video together, and it is included in The Directors Cut. The Feature Film includes a Weekday Photo Engagement Session, which is the photo only version, shot Monday through Thursday.

Video Guest Book

An interactive video station where your guests can leave personal messages, well wishes, and memories throughout the night.

These clips are curated and delivered as a keepsake film you can revisit for years, capturing voices, laughter, and moments that would otherwise be lost.

Here is Emma and Dylan's from Koury Farms, start to finish.

Personalized Add-Ons

Built around your day, not a menu
$500

Additional Hour of Coverage

Wedding days run long, and the last hour is usually the loosest one. An extra hour means we are never watching the clock while the moments that matter are still happening.

$1,000

Additional Shooter

Every collection already includes two photographers, so this is one more set of hands beyond that. In The Home Video it adds a second videographer. In The Feature Film it extends your second photographer and second videographer to the full day. With a large guest list the day stops happening in one place. While one camera is on your faces during a toast, someone needs to be on the room reacting to it.

$500

Video Guest Book

Already included in The Directors Cut and The Feature Film, so this is for The Home Video. With a full room, most of what your guests want to say to you will get lost in the noise. This is how you keep it, in their words, in the moment.

$1,000

Rehearsal Dinner or Day After Coverage

The night before is when the toasts get honest and both families finally end up in one room. Covering your rehearsal dinner or a day after brunch means you keep the whole weekend, not just the wedding day.

$1,000

Prioritized Editing

Your gallery and films move to the front of the line, so you are reliving the day while it is still fresh instead of waiting through the full editing timeline.

“Josh stayed the whole day into the night and seamlessly blended in with everyone. He contributed to a fun night with his energy, and overall was my go to person for the day.”

The Person Behind The Camera

I have spent 5 years walking alongside couples during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives, so I understand how personal these decisions feel. My role is to listen closely, guide you with clarity, and make sure nothing about this process feels rushed or transactional. I lead our team with care and intention so your experience feels calm, supported, and aligned from the first conversation to the final film.

It all started with a simple idea: I need pictures so the memory lasts longer. At first it was just photos on my phone, little moments I did not want to forget. Then I picked up a real camera and realized I did not only want to hold onto my own memories. I wanted to help other people hold onto theirs.

Becoming a dad deepened all of it. The moments that end up mattering most are rarely the posed ones. It is the chaos, the calm, the ordinary things that turn out to be everything.

And in 2026 I got to be on the other side of the camera. My wife and I got married, my team captured our day, and honestly I barely remember it. Watching it back, I kept saying, oh yeah, that happened. That is the whole reason I do this.

What Makes Us Different

Natural Direction

Most teams either over direct or disappear completely.I create a balance of guidance and freedom so you feel comfortable, confident, and still fully yourselves.

Detail Awareness

Most couples do not realize how much small details affect the final result.I actively watch for things like positioning, lighting, and small distractions so your photos and film feel polished without extra effort from you.

One Unified Team

Most couples hire separate photo and video teams.We operate as one unit, so communication is seamless and everything works together instead of competing for attention.

Film Over Highlight

Most wedding videos feel like a montage set to music.I build films around real moments and audio, so your story feels authentic and not just aesthetic.

In Their Own Words

What Happens Next

You have got options, and I want to help you choose what feels right. No pressure, just real talk to make sure everything fits your vibe and vision.

I Send The Paperwork

Once you are ready, I send over a booking link with your contract and invoice. Everything in one place, nothing to chase down.

A $1,000 retainer officially secures your date. It comes off your total, so it is not an extra cost. If you would rather pay your collection in full with the retainer, that comes with 10% off.

Your Date Is Locked In

That day is yours. From there we start planning the parts that make it feel like you.

05

We Celebrate

And maybe pop some bubbly. Then we are off to the races.

Take Your Time With It

Whether you choose me or someone else, I want you to end up with photos and a film that bring you right back to what mattered most. How it felt to hold each other close, to laugh with your people, and to celebrate something that only happens once. But if you read through this and thought, this is us, I would be honored to tell your story.

When you are ready, tell me which collection feels closest and we will go from there. If none of them fit exactly, we will build the one that does.
