STUDIO SCHICKEL
WEDDING FILMS
It harks back to 'the good ole times', when simplicity, rarity, and value were intertwined. In today's world, where anyone can capture a video on their phone, we still hold traditional cinematography in high regard. We use Digital Cinematography equipment to recreate that timeless, soft, and true cinematography look that seamlessly blends with film footage.
Blending Nostalgia and Timelessness
There is something deeply emotional about super 8 footage—
A Director's Eye meets a Documentarian approach
an authenticity that posed moments simply cannot replicate. It's found in the stolen glances, quiet laughter, and raw emotions that unfold organically when you are truly present. Instead of rigid posing, we provide prompts that foster genuine interaction and connection. Our mindful suggestions encourage you to ground yourselves, breathe deeply, and truly savor the magic of your wedding day. The result? Timeless photographs that capture not just how you looked, but also how you felt. This is at the heart of our filmmaking philosophy.
There is a certain magic in candid moments—
We’ve been there...
Our years of experience have allowed us to build amazing relationships with other vendors. Why? Because we support them! This support extends beyond just the wedding day. Need a late-night video chat with the planner? We’re on it. Feeling shaky and need a snack before walking down the aisle? We’ve got you covered. We treat everyone with respect, approach our work with humility, and are grateful to be part of such a special day.
That said, we only accept 25 weddings a year. This commitment ensures that we show up to every wedding with the energy and enthusiasm it deserves. The last thing you want is a tired vendor. We want your day to go smoothly, and we are prepared to do whatever it takes to make that happen. With our extensive vendor network, I can help you find excited and reliable vendors who are ready to work with you.
