Wedding Photography

Our wedding photography package covers the entire day, starting from when the bride and groom get ready to the first dance and beyond. We will capture the bridal party, the couple’s special moments, and the fun at the reception, making sure no memory is missed. All the photos are professionally edited and delivered digitally on a USB drive. We also offer the option to create a wedding photo album so you can keep all the best moments in a beautiful book.

Wedding Videography

We also offer wedding videography services to capture your day on film. We provide a 5-6 minute highlights video, perfect for sharing with family and friends. You will also receive a full-length wedding film, between 1 and 1.5 hours long, which includes everything from the ceremony to the speeches at the reception. If you prefer a shorter video, we offer a highlights-only film at a reduced price.

We use the latest Canon full-frame cameras and DJI Ronin stabilizers to ensure smooth, high-quality footage. We film from multiple angles, using both stationary and mobile cameras to capture all the best moments, especially during the vows and reception.
