Real moments and real audio. Your vows, letters and toasts are recorded cleanly, so the film is told in your own words, not a soundtrack.
Cinematic
Cinema cameras, intentional light and an editor's patience. Every frame is made to hold up the first time you watch it and the hundredth.
Personal
You work with Derek from the first call to the final film. The more we know you, the more of you ends up on screen.
