We are wedding videographers and cinematographers who are most passionate about destination wedding filmmaking and travel. Having had extensive filmmaking experience in the feature film, television series and documentaries I have now found my passion in destination wedding videography and story telling. My experience as a wedding videographer has given my partner and I an amazing opportunity to document the love stories of couples around the globe.

Our Work

Agata & Richard

Our dream day

Photographer: Andrea and Federico
Venue: Nikis Resort
Coordinator: Nikis Resort Umbria

Rewind

Our fabulous wedding was held at the beautiful Nikis Resort, set in the idyllic Umbrian countryside. Umbria is often called the green heart of Italy, it’s known for its medieval hill towns, dense forests and local cuisine. We share a passion for good food and fine wine and we fell in love with this area on our travels to Italy.

Rewind

I can choose so many adjectives to describe this wedding. Friends and family from all over the world flew in to celebrate the amazing wedding day belonging to this stunning and adventurous couple from Maylasia. We are blessed to have been appointed to film their event.

Tamsyn & Darryn

Always & Forever, Unconditionally

Photographer: Zara Zoo Photography
Venue: Cavalli Wine & Stud Farm
Coordinator: Mosaic Wedding Company – Cara McLaughlin

Rewind

Darryn and I met through family friends on a summers day in Atlanta in 2009. For the next year, while I was in South Africa, we stayed in touch while he tried to win me over. Throughout that year, Darryn became my best friend; someone I could rely on and who could always make me laugh. On July 27, 2010 we officially started dating. Our relationship was long distance at first while I was in Switzerland for college, but after my first year I moved back to Atlanta and our relationship grew stronger. We’ve expanded our family with our two kids, Coco and Kiki (yes, our dogs). We spent the next 5 years traveling, going on adventures, and making memories together as our relationship grew. On November 17, 2015 Dax got down on one knee and asked for my hand in marriage, and that started our journey to planning the perfect wedding. December 19, 2016 will be a day we will never forget.

Rewind

” Once in a while in the middle of an ordinary life love gives us a fairytale.”

Maria & Josh

Villa Scopetella

Photographer: Andrea Fabbrini
Venue: Villa Scopetella
Coordinator: Sonja & Michael

Rewind

We were on one of our great adventures along the Pacific coast when Josh popped the question. We had taken the Amtrak to Seattle and rented a car to drive down the Pacific Coast. We decided make our first stop in Canon Beach, Oregon, and have a picnic with various foods we picked up at Pikes Place Market earlier. The setting could not have been more perfect, with beautiful views and an adoring sunset. After laying out the blanket of food, Josh set up the camera on the tripod, handed me the camera remote, and got down on one knee. I kind of blacked out at that moment, but the photos reveal one of the most meaningful moments in our lives. I do remember saying yes and laughing uncontrollably.

Ti-Amore & Kenneth

Somethings Beautiful

Photographer: Jenni Elizabeth
Venue: Lourensford Wine Estate
Coordinator: Lize-Marie

Rewind

“En as ek die dag my hand in joune sit, sal ek my padkaarte bêre met die wete: My reis opsoek na jou is nou verby”

Rewind

Sasha and Andrew’s intimate wedding ceremony was filmed at Miller’s Point and then onto the Black Marlin for the celebrations. One of the most beautiful dresses I have seen.

FOUNDER, DOP, EDITOR--FONDATORE, DIRETTORE DELLA FOTOGRAFIA, EDITORE

We see ourselves as videographers, cinematographers and filmmakers. We are a film studio and love what we do. We capture special moments. Unrepeatable moments. Lifetime moments.

My signature style seeks out the emotion, connection and movement, which play out abundantly on the day. Our films capture this in a most unique way. We aim to emulate imagery and a sound score that you would expect to see on the big screen.

We apply principles learnt over the years to achieve this outcome.

CO- FOUNDER & EDITOR--CO-FONDATRICE, EDITRICE

My passions lie in photography and filmmaking as well as art and architecture and with this I gain inspiration from many interesting perspectives. As an enthusiastic traveller, beautiful landscapes and interesting cultural customs, as well as local art and photography can provide one with new ideas. My Italian-South African heritage has allowed me to spend time in both countries, I am fluent in Italian and speak French.

We have enjoyed creating exciting wedding films for clients over the years in a variety of locations, capturing the essence of who they are is very rewarding.
