My name is McKenzie. I was born in Georgia, but have lived in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia for most of my life. I grew up loving weddings and being taught to celebrate love! I simply evolved into planning…making lists of everything needed for my own wedding and the weddings of friends. I had the privilege of working at a wedding venue where I learned from professionals regarding the details that are involved in coming alongside people to plan their special day! It was through this time that my passion for weddings had the chance to flourish! And that is why I decided to launch my own business planning weddings!

You’ve been thinking about the moment. Your heart is racing, you can’t even hear the words over the booms of your heartbeat. You watch the ring slide on your finger and now it’s wedding planning time!! This can feel overwhelming, especially for those who haven’t been in a wedding before and I get it. There are so many options, especially now, and everyone has an opinion on what you should or should not do. While I can’t stop your phone from receiving unsolicited advice about YOUR wedding. I can help you make sure that it’s captured exactly the way YOU want and give wonderful options (when asked) for alternative ways of celebrating.

We are filmmakers capturing wedding films. Our style can be described as “documentary” with a lot of influences from high-end cinema and fashion. The wedding day itself has a lot of strong and emotional moments. So instead of staging, we focus on capturing these special moments that cannot be re-created. We always use a discreet approach while filming. Our goal is to be invisible and unobtrusive as possible at all times. We are guests with a camera. We believe this is the best way how to capture one of the most important days of your life.

How do we even get to the moment where wedding cinematography is considered? It starts at the beginning with a moment. The moment a man and a woman first meet.

It's hard to foresee whether this person is someone who will forever impact your life or just become a temporary friend, but to everyone's surprise, this person becomes more than just a friend.
