Tell us about your business!
We are a wedding photography and cinematography duo with a desire to capture memories that last forever. After ten years of shooting weddings internationally in France, Italy, Mexico, the UK, Morocco, Dominican Republic and USA as Pinewood Weddings, we are a refined brand for high-end international clients.
What would you like couples to know about Pinewood Weddings?
We both studied Arts + Photography at University, and our visual foundation is based on a classic approach to composition and lighting. Over the years we have become fashion driven, with an editorial style that is strongly affected by the venue, environment and people. Being attracted to Mediterranean and seaside destinations, we are casual and carefree in style. We shoot a limited number of weddings in a manner that both emphasizes quality and uniqueness, in a style that will remain timeless. Apart from weddings, we often take on commissioned works for five-star hotels and Michelin stars restaurants, such as The Four Seasons Budapest, Krug Champagne, or the Unbound Collection by Hyatt.
Our faith in weddings lies in our own marriage. We are parents to a 4 years old girl called Roza, who often follows us on our journey.

Music choices reflect the mood and atmosphere of each individual day. However there is never a stronger message than the spoken voices, or the visual palette which we highlight in our films.

Invite those closest to you, make the ceremony personal, and talk about yourselves as much as you can to every vendor, so they can get the best understanding of your personality and wishes!
