REHEARSAL DINNER COVERAGE

Spend quality time with your friends and family while I capture the speeches, laughter, tears, and memorable moments that only a rehearsal dinner presents.

FULL CEREMONY FILM

You will be able to watch back your full ceremony from start to finish with one click of a button. We will have multiple cameras and angles rolling with clear audio for a cohesive watching experience. A great option if you have any grandparents or loved ones who can not be physically present.

“Our experience with Carpe Amare was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Daniel and Colleen captured every part of our special day beautifully. They went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding process to ensure that our video would be absolutely perfect…. And believe us, it was even more than just perfect! They captured our love in a way that we will cherish forever. If you are considering booking Carpe Amare, just do it!!! We promise that you will not be disappointed in any way!”

Madison Moore

“I cannot rave enough about Daniel. If you have an upcoming event or wedding, hire him NOW before he is booked. Daniel is one of the most talented people I have ever met. He took our story and told it more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. I am forever grateful our paths crossed and that Spencer and I will have this video to share our family legacy for generations to come. Watching our wedding video brings me to tears all over again, reliving all of the emotions I felt on our big day being surrounded by our families and the overwhelming amount of love. A lot of people have no idea the amount of time and energy that goes into storytelling when it comes to videography. It not only takes talent but also a strong passion for the craft to pour a lot of love into creating the perfect memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Daniel!”

Steph Clavin Landry

“Since our first meeting with Daniel and Colleen, we felt confident that they were the perfect team to capture the beauty, joy, and sacredness of our special day as we entered into the Sacrament of Marriage. On our Wedding day, Daniel and Colleen arrived at our door with big smiles and great direction for filming. They beautifully captured moments, instead of staging them, just as we had hoped for. There aren’t enough words to say how much we enjoyed working with Carpe Amare, or to perfectly express just how thankful and happy we are with the final result that we will cherish forever. Every expectation was exceeded to the fullest, expressed through so many happy tears as we watched our video for the first time (and the next 100 times after that). If you are looking for the most authentic, passionate, and talented team of videographers, look no further! ”
