we're August and Lena
–a wedding videography and photography duo capturing love stories that feel like home.
Hey there!
Capturing the moments between the moments
We're fascinated by the quiet ways people show love — the unspoken moments that say everything. That's what we're after when we film your wedding:
capturing how it actually felt to be there.
Where your story glows Where your story glows Where your story glows Where your story glows
Where your story glows Where your story glows Where your story glows Where your story glows
Your wedding isn't about copying Pinterest. It's about being present in your own story.
The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. The hug that holds on just a beat longer. The laugh that catches you off guard and melts the nerves away.
These are the stories we tell — films and photos that feel like coming home.
We didn't always plan to be wedding filmmakers and photographers. Before this, we were creating documentary films about small-town Virginia, photographing abandoned houses, and teaching ourselves to develop film in our bathroom-turned-darkroom. Over time, we realized that the most powerful stories happen in the unscripted moments — when people forget they're being watched.
how we found our way to capturing love for a living
From documentary filmmakers to wedding storytellers —
Today, we still carry that documentary spirit with us, but now we're capturing love stories from Virginia vineyards to Italian coastlines. This work means everything to us because it's not about pretty pictures — it's about preserving how it felt to be held by your person on the most important day of your life.

antiquing for vintage lenses, cooking way too much pasta for two people, or getting lost on backroads just to see where they lead.
When we're not filming weddings or buried in our editing cave you'll probably find us...
Our current obsessions
Farmers market mornings and sunset drives with no destination
Weekend vibe:
"Dreams Tonite" by Alvvays
Song on repeat:
The Scottish Highlands during golden hour
Dream travel spot:
Ready to bottle up the golden hour together?
One day, you'll look back on the quiet moment before you walked down the aisle, the way your grandparents held each other during your first dance, that split second when everything felt perfectly still. Let's make sure you can feel it all over again.
