I had been following Sydney on Instagram for a while and reached out as soon as we were engaged. I knew she was amazing from her work, but I was blown away with her attention to detail and her attention to us. She made us feel at ease from day one, and took the time during our engagement session to make my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our images are STUNNING, I can't stop looking at them. Thank you again Sydney for everything, you made our dream day come true!

I contacted Fierce to help me plan a happily ever after party to celebrate with friends and family after we eloped during COVID. Many of the the party planning companies I'd talked to seemed confused or uncomfortable with this slightly unconventional request - but not Fierce! They had great ideas, great advice and went out of their way to find vendors, decor and ideas that exactly matched our vision. Olivia and Laura were on top of all the timing and details throughout the process and always available and helpful. The party went off without a flaw or worry. What a great experience!

Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was such an incredible photographer and person to work with for our wedding!!

Their technical expertise, and warm personalities made working with them a joy, and their final product perfectly encapsulating the emotions and details of the wedding. They went out of their way to ensure our work complemented each other, even sharing footage to match my editing process. Sun Fire Films is a talented, thoughtful, and reliable team that elevates any wedding vendor lineup I can’t wait to work with them again!
