The Experience

Cinematic, documentary, or both — which film is yours?

Many couples come to us thinking they want a wedding video. What they actually want is to never forget. Here's the difference between the two styles we craft — and how we help you decide.

Style 01

The Cinematic Film

Think of it like the trailer for the most important day of your life. A cinematic film is a tightly-edited 5 to 10-minute piece, scored to music, color-graded with intention, and structured around the emotional arc of your day. We shoot for it the moment we arrive — collecting the quiet glances, the texture of your dress, the sun moving across the aisle.

  • 5–10 minute story-driven highlight
  • Cinematic color grade and music score
  • Slow motion, rich audio design
  • The film you'll share with friends, family, and the world
Cinematic wedding film still
Documentary wedding film still

Style 02

The Documentary Film

The full record. The complete ceremony — every vow, every reading, every laugh from the crowd. The whole first dance, uncut. The full toast from your dad that made you cry. A documentary film preserves your day exactly as it unfolded so that decades from now, you can play it on your anniversary and be there again.

  • Full ceremony, full toasts, full first dances
  • Multi-camera coverage with crisp audio
  • Minimal editing — the day as it happened
  • The film you'll watch on quiet anniversaries

"The truth? Most of our couples choose both. The cinematic film is the love letter. The documentary film is the time machine."
