We believe there is a special “something” when we tell the wedding story based on natural moments. The emotion, the feelings, the joy and happiness… it’s all very real. So we’ve been trying to step back from directing or staging, and we are trying to pay attention to the little moments and situations that make every wedding unique.
The day usually goes by really fast, and when we look at the footage weeks after, we can see things we didn’t even notice while being there. Small gestures can reveal personalities, and distant sounds can bring us back to that very place. That’s a big part of our job. To see things and details that would otherwise go unnoticed. Little pieces of life that once connected in a film can recreate that day in a very personal way. Rather than making weddings feel like Hollywood movies, we want them to feel like intimate portraits. We want our work to be about the people. We want it to be about love… and more often than not, love does not need extra decorations: it is beautiful in itself.
Then there is the cinematic element. Sound, images, shooting and editing techniques. All of these can bring that extra bit of magic, but if not careful they can also take over. That’s why we are being very mindful of every detail in our films, every single shot and sound is carefully chosen. In the end, we want to make films that feel honest and authentic. We want our clients to see their film and know that’s them.
So, we are excited to be sharing this short film from Ryan and Sydney’s day! We shot not only the wedding, but also the rehearsal dinner. This short film has some of our favorite moments of the day, and it also has one of our favorite dance sequences ever.
