We document love with a cinematic, documentary, and editorial approach that feels joyful, nostalgic, and timeless. We crave authenticity, it’s not about following traditions or creating cookie-cutter images, it’s about celebrating couples who live boldly, laugh freely, and value moments over expectations. More than photographers and filmmakers, we’re collaborators, encouragers, and fellow travelers who capture your story as it truly unfolds, turning fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes.

The Daydream Team went above and beyond to ensure every stunning detail and every special moment from our little mountain wedding was beautifully preserved in both photos and video. Their dedication to getting exactly what we wanted, combined with their easygoing and thoughtful approach, made working with them such a joy. Matt and John not only made us look amazing but also perfectly showcased the natural beauty of our surroundings. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
