Question 1

How would you describe your style?

Accepted Answer

Our approach is documentary at its core, with a refined cinematic finish. No posing. No pressure. No fake moments. Just your day captured naturally. We don't stage moments or turn your day into a production. Instead, we observe, guide when needed, and capture everything as it naturally unfolds—so your film and photos feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal.

Question 2

We're worried about feeling awkward on camera…

Accepted Answer

This is the most common concern we hear—and exactly what we're known for solving. You won't be left wondering what to do, but you also won't be over-directed. We create space for real moments, gently guiding when needed so everything feels natural, relaxed, and effortless. Most couples tell us after the day: “We forgot the cameras were even there.”

Question 3

Do you direct us at all?

Accepted Answer

Yes—but intentionally and minimally. We step in when it adds value (portraits, lighting, timing), and step back when the moment matters more. The result is a balance between natural storytelling and refined, editorial imagery.

What's included in your collections?

Will we receive raw footage or unedited photos?

Do you also record audio of the ceremony and speeches?

Yes—capturing audio is a key part of preserving your day, not just the visuals. We professionally record clear, high-quality audio throughout the most important moments. During the ceremony, we typically mic the groom and connect to the celebrant's PA system to ensure every word is captured. For speeches, we record directly from the lectern, DJ, or house sound system. Everything is recorded in full, so you'll receive complete audio of both your ceremony and speeches as part of your Raw Edit—giving you something meaningful to revisit for years to come.
