Cinematic wedding films · Ireland

We film your day exactly as it unfolds.

We are Menka and Tom. We craft cinematic films from genuine moments, using two cameras and a drone with an almost invisible presence so nothing is ever staged twice.

Rather than a polished reel of poses, we deliver a film that feels like your actual wedding. It holds the true rhythm of the day, from the still morning hours to the final song.

As it happened

A moment caught once, exactly as it unfolded.

What you receive

Three ways to watch your day.

The short cut

Roughly 1.5 minutes

Made for Instagram and those who could not make it. Quick, warm, and ready to send out while the feeling is still fresh.

A 20-minute cut

20 minutes

Your day, given space to settle. The full weight of your vows, tears during speeches, and the quietest breaths between.

The long cut

A 40-minute edit

The deep dive. Raw and intimate, built to revisit every anniversary. Be prepared to cry, laugh, and feel it all again.

The way we film

Nobody looks into the lens.

How we approach it

We make a real film, not a staged production.

Two full-frame cameras and a drone, readied before the day begins so nothing is ever staged twice. One of us stays near you, the other watches the room. The drone goes up to capture the arrivals and the landscape, and then it comes down.

The whole story

The speech, all of it, exactly as it landed.

Filmed like a movie

We film the rest like a movie. Nobody looks into the lens, and we rarely call for a pose. We hold our distance as a gentle, almost invisible presence, so your family and friends can just be themselves. When people act exactly as they would if we were not there, that is when the film becomes real. After all, it is your wedding day and no one should interrupt that for you. Staged photo shoots can be done any day of the year; a wedding day can't be repeated.

What you keep

The day, exactly as it happened.

What stays with you

What you receive is the memory that stays, reflecting your true personalities rather than our interference. You will look at the film and see only the things you authentically felt and did.

Gentle observation

Present for the quietest moments, without ever interrupting them.

Behind the lens

We are Menka and Tom.

We fell in love with making films together because we see things a little differently. Tom is often looking at the bigger picture: the landscape, the movement, the way a place can become part of a story. After years of flying and building drones, he still gets excited about finding a perspective we haven’t seen before. Menka notices the smaller things: a look across the room, someone trying not to cry, the colours and details that give a moment its feeling. 
We take our cameras with us wherever we go, but the memories we talk about afterwards are usually about the people we met. We love hearing their stories and finding out what matters to them. That curiosity is what we bring to weddings, too. We know what it feels like to have someone beside you who makes the world a little brighter. Perhaps that’s why we find so much joy in seeing how other couples love each other.Every story is different, and we’d love to get to know yours.

We are based in Ireland but travel gladly. Wherever you are choosing to celebrate your marriage, we would love to be there.
