because your story is
MUCH BIGGER THAN ONE DAY
Photo and Video Services
Wedding Day
MINIMIST can be there for you on your wedding day to capture photo, video, or both. Hiring us to do it all will be the best way to ensure that everything looks like it goes together as well as the two of you do.
I chose my team based on the style I want to create for each couple and build the team size based on the needs of my couples and the size of the wedding. I can customize any package to be exactly what your special day might need.
Rehearsal Dinner
We would love to come to your rehearsal dinner to capture all of the mingling and toast giving. Having MINIMIST capture video of toasts given at your rehearsal dinner is a wonderful way to flesh out your story, as told through the voices of those in your life who are most important to you.
Photos from your rehearsal dinner will lock those special moments that only occupy a fraction of a second, into a visual that will last you a lifetime.
Couples Interview
A couples interview is the best way to tell your story in your own voice. With a couples interview video, I add a whole new level of pre-production. I reach out to anyone that may end up with a microphone in their hands at your rehearsal dinner or reception. I aim to find out what kinds of stories they will tell. Most people leave out some of the early details while telling a story because they expect everyone in the room to already know. By finding these things out ahead of time, I can target the interview questions to help set up those stories.
EACH STORY IS UNIQUE
Because no spark is the same, we tailor your films to reflect the beauty of your specific story. We take a journalistic approach during pre-production, researching and fully exploring who you are and what elements of each couple ought to be highlighted to enhance the narrative of your story.
Accessing the same meticulous vision in our films, MINIMIST now offers wedding photography. With our photo packages, we can assuredly deliver the same magic in cinematic portraits, to match the style of your films.
We passionately express that an organic moment is not achieved through staging. Our main goal, for video, is to capture couples as they are. The MINIMIST philosophy is “absolute beauty is found in natural chemistry”.
We want to ensure you’re able to be present and truly enjoy your day. From happy tears to belly laughs; from friends dancing, to heartfelt words from family. Our job is to collect all of the charm and emotion of your wedding day for you to reminisce and reflect on for years.
Connect.
It all starts with a single conversation. Not unlike you and your partner, I’m willing to guess. I’d love to connect with you in whatever way feels right. You can reach out via phone, email, Facebook, or Instagram. All of those links are available in the footer. Want to schedule a virtual meeting to get to know if MINIMIST is right for you? Click the button at the top to set something up.
I love the process of getting to know my couples, but it all begins with that first conversation, so let’s get started.
Invest.
Good wedding documentation is no small cost and I understand that choosing the right vendors can be hard decisions to make. What you’ll have to look back at in 30 years is all in the hands of your photo/video team. This is an investment that will last you a lifetime. It might be the documentary that your kids get to watch to see what their parents were like before they became parents. I know you want to be able to rest easy on your wedding day knowing you are in good hands. MINIMIST is here for you, with a decade of experience and an ever-evolving team of creatives.
Be moved.
I hear from so many people that they choose MINIMIST because they watched my films and end up crying in public over someone’s wedding that they don’t even know. This is my gold. I want everyone that watches my couples’ films to root for them, laugh with them, cry with them, and feel their heart soar as the couple hits that moment of “I do.” I want everyone who hires me to feel like my team actually captured the core of who they are and the way they love. I am honored to get to capture couples in this way and get to reflect their love back to them, showcasing the way they see each other.
CINEMATICS to make your story soar.
Add visual drama, like time-lapse photography and/or aerial video of special locations, to add a more personal touch and give breath to beautiful transitional moments in your wedding films.
SIDE SESSIONS to make it your own.
While we start with three base packages, there are endless side session additions to add life your film.
Minimist aims to capture more than just one day. We seek to curate and magnify the special moments that accentuate your love; whether you’re marrying a hot air balloon pilot, celebrating your bachelor/ette party, or would like to incorporate the road trip to your destination, there’s a side session for that.
