Wedding Films in the US

Luxury Wedding Filmmaker in the United States

Coast to coast · Europe for US couples Collections from 15,000 USD

Most of the couples we film are American, and they hire us for one of two reasons. Either they are marrying in Europe and want a studio that lives there ... or they are marrying at home in the United States and want a film that does not look like every other American wedding video.

We work in both directions. The studio travels to the United States for weddings and private celebrations, and we take American couples through European destination weddings from the first venue call to final delivery.

For American couples marrying in Europe

This is the majority of our work: a couple in New York, Los Angeles or Dallas, a villa on Lake Como or a château on the Riviera, and a wedding weekend that has to be coordinated across a seven-hour time difference. Being based in Europe means the venue visits, the vendor calls and the permits happen in local business hours rather than yours.

It also means your film is made by people who know the region. We are not flying in the night before to film a coastline we have never seen.

For weddings and private events in the United States

We travel to the United States for weddings, anniversaries, engagement parties and private celebrations. Recent work includes Russell and Nina Westbrook's anniversary film and an engagement party at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas.

The approach does not change with the passport. A cinema-trained crew, a director who has run large productions, and a film that is built like a short feature rather than assembled from ceremony coverage.

— Questions

Frequently asked

Do you film weddings in the United States?

Yes. We travel to the US for weddings, anniversaries, engagement parties and private events ... recent work includes Russell and Nina Westbrook's anniversary film and an engagement party at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas. Travel is quoted openly as part of the collection.

Why hire a European studio for an American wedding?

Two reasons. If any part of your celebration happens in Europe ... a destination wedding, a European honeymoon film, a welcome party abroad ... a studio based there removes an enormous amount of friction. And if your wedding is entirely in the US, our background is Hollywood visual effects and cinema lighting rather than event videography, which produces a noticeably different film.

How much does a luxury wedding film cost for US couples?

Collections start at 15,000 USD. For weddings in the United States, travel and accommodation for the crew are quoted separately and transparently rather than folded into a headline number.

We are American but marrying in Europe. How does that work?

This is what we do most. We handle European venue and vendor coordination in local time and local language, scout in person, arrange aerial permissions country by country, and keep you on one point of contact throughout. We work in English and French.

How far in advance should we book?

The most requested European dates ... June through September on the Riviera and Lake Como ... are typically reserved a year or more ahead. That said, it is always worth asking; schedules change, and we would rather tell you we are free than have you assume we are not.
