Makenna Nelson
Owner - Photographer - Videographer - Editor
After years of traveling and gaining experience as a videographer, I started my own business! I hold a Video Production degree and have a passion for creating beautiful films. One of the most important things to me is helping couples relax and truly enjoy the little moments of their wedding day. I also especially love the editing stage when the music and the beauty of the day come together artistically to create something that captures the emotion and feeling of the day forever.

Fiifi Godwyll
Photographer - Videographer
With a heart for the unnoticed moments, I strive to bring both technical skill and creative vision to every wedding I film. My goal is to capture full, authentic moments - whether it’s the ceremony you’ll revisit for years to come, or the quiet smile of a loved one watching the two of you. I believe the beauty is always in the details, and I work carefully to ensure nothing meaningful is overlooked. The result is a film that reflects the day not just as it looked, but as it truly felt.

I’ve been spinning tracks and keeping dance floors alive for almost a decade. For me, it’s all about reading the room, mixing the right beats, and making sure the party never slows down. I bring a laid back vibe and the energy that keeps people moving all night long!
