Our wedding at Bella Collina 2018
Our Love Story
IT ALL STARTED IN A SMALL BAR ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE
And as the saying goes, the rest is history. We met in a small bar in New York City and lived separate lives over 1,000 miles apart as our friendship grew into something you could only see play out in a Rom-Com. It sounds cheesy, but our relationship is “friendship caught on fire.”
We’ve been through cross-country moves together, loss of loved ones, additions of new family members (three dogs and a daughter), jobs we’ve hated- so it wasn’t hard for us to decide we wanted to work together, as partners, in something that brings us joy and brings us closer as a couple and a team. As a former reality TV camera operator and a professional advertising & marketing manager, there is truly no better profession for two hopeless romantics. We love what we do, we love meeting people who are in love, and we love the laughs, happiness, and tears that come from our couples watching their wedding film for the first time.

WE CAN TELL YOU firsthand - A VIDEOGRAPHER IS ALWAYS WORTH IT
As vendors, of course, we think every couple should earmark part of their wedding budget to hire a videographer. We can tell you firsthand, as a newly married couple that had to pre-plan our budget, videography was at the top of our list with photography. Don’t get me wrong, we are forever in love with our photos (thank you, Jeremy Scott Photo), but there’s something about seeing the change in facial expressions in the moment, hearing your vows or heartfelt speeches, and seeing moments you may have missed in the chaos of the day.
Videography was a special moment for us because very special friends who have had a significant influence on us were there to capture our magical day- and we’re excited to share it with you here.
