They did a great job at our wedding, staying out of the way of the events but still capturing all the important parts of our special day. I will enjoy the video they made for many years!!! Thanks again guys!

About de novo films

We specialize in cinematic weddings. We work with you to create a fun and artistic approach to your wedding day, highlighting the people envolved as well as the events that unfold.

The use of various cinematic techniques during the process allows us to create something you cant stop watching for years to come! High Definition is a standard for us, we shoot in 24 frames per second and color correct every clip of your film to ensure consistency and seamless sequences.

For the sake of capturing your day in the best way possible, we do not offer various packages but prefer to capture your day from the start to finish. We use two cinematographers with three cameras and cover up to 10 hours.

We include a highlight film, as well as a full feature film (25-45 minutes, depending on events at your wedding) which showcases your entire day in cinematic form. All of this comes to you as a digital download along with a chaptered DVD.

We have more info on our website under the "weddings" tab with other optional things that can even further enhance your special day with a film. Please see samples of our work to understand better the style of our filming and if we might be the right fit for you! You can review the FAQ for more information and to help you make the right choice for your wedding cinematographer.

Congratulations on your big day, and best wishes!
