Golden Isles and coast Films
Photographs come first on this site, and film is there when you want the vows in your own voices. Jekyll Island first, then the South Carolina coast. Turn the sound up.
one team
When the photographer and the filmmaker plan together, nobody stands in the other one's shot, and your timeline only has to work once.
Why Add Film
A photograph keeps how the day looked. A film keeps how it sounded.
The vows in your own voices, the toast that made everyone laugh, the sound of the band on the lawn. Every film starts with a private video call about your priorities, a custom shot list, multiple audio backups on the day and a same day sneak peek. Then it is edited to your pacing, tone and music, and shared at a private video reveal.
Watch them in order if you can. The Jekyll Island films first, because they are the nearest to Sea Island in light and landscape, then the South Carolina films, which show how differently a ceremony under the oaks sounds from one by the ocean. Every film is a real couple and a real day, filmed by my team and me.
The Jekyll Island films are the closest to a Sea Island wedding, Crane Cottage with its sunken garden and fountained courtyard, and Nikki and Sagar's Indian wedding at the Jekyll Island Convention Center. Palmetto Bluff, where I have been an official preferred vendor for over ten years, and Hilton Head show the rest of the coast.
Our video made both of us cry and we are so happy we get to relive that day forever!
film questions
about Film
Do you offer film as well as photographs?
Yes. Photography and film are available together or separately, with one team planning both.
How long is a wedding film?
Anything from a 3 minute highlight to a 20 minute documentary style feature, edited to your preferences. The films here run from about 2 to about 15 minutes.
Will we hear the vows clearly?
Every wedding is filmed with multiple audio backups, because vows and toasts happen once.
