REC Wedding photo + film · Lexington, KY

Wedding films and photographs for couples who would rather be present than posed. We hang back, we pay attention, and we keep the real thing.

What we're about

We don't chase the perfect shot.
We wait for the real one.

The name is from Psalm 139, the one about being searched and known. We named the studio after it because that's what we want a wedding day to feel like for the two of you. Seen, by each other and by everyone in the room.

So we don't direct much. We'd rather pay attention. If something true happens between the two of you during the day, we want it in the film and in the gallery, and the surest way to miss it is to be busy arranging something else.

Films

Made to be watched more than once.

We cut every film from the whole day, not just the ceremony. Getting ready, the vows, the toasts, whatever happens on the dance floor at 11. You get a highlight film short enough to send to people and a full ceremony edit for the two of you.

Our story

Two people, two cameras, one point of view.

Clara · PhotoNathaniel · Film

We're Nathaniel and Clara. We live in Lexington, Kentucky, and we'll drive a long way for a wedding we're excited about.

Clara shoots the photos. Nathaniel shoots the film. On the day we work as one crew, so there's no second camera asking you to redo the first look, and the gallery and the film end up looking like they came from the same people. They did.
