what type of films are available?
highlight film
A Highlight Film is like your own personal music video about your big day! I will piece together the best moments of the day to fit to a romantic song totally around 1-3 minutes long. This will be perfect for sharing on social media and sending to your friends and family.

ceremony, speeches & intro dances Films
Edited in a documentary style, these films preserve each of the day's most meaningful moments from beginning to end. Professional audio recording ensures you can clearly hear every word spoken, along with the original music selected for your celebration. Multiple camera angles are seamlessly edited together to provide a complete and immersive viewing experience. While highlights from these moments are woven into your feature film, the documentary edits allow you to relive them in their entirety—just as they happened.
