The short answer

What is a save the date film?

A short, stylized film that announces your wedding date, usually 60 to 90 seconds, shot at a location of your choice around an idea we brainstorm together. It is delivered digitally for text, email and social, so your guests feel the two of you months before the wedding.

The first chapter

A little film. A big beginning.

The brainstorm is included. The shoot, the idea, the music and the way you share it are built around the two of you.

The process

Your idea, all the way to play.

  1. 01

    Brainstorm together

    “We never just go and film.” One 20–30 minute call, both of you on it. We dream up the idea, the location, the look, the song. Come with a Pinterest board or come with nothing. Both work.

  2. 02

    The shoot

    This is the one film where we step out from behind the wall. We direct, we choreograph, we play. One planned shoot, zero guesswork, because the whole thing was mapped before we ever pressed record.

  3. 03

    The film lands

    A short, share-ready film delivered digitally, sized for texting, email, Instagram, and the family group chat. Post it, send it, or save it for the perfect moment.

The film

A date worth looking forward to.

The announcement should feel like you two

A wedding day has a run-of-show; a save-the-date has a blank page. If a paper card under a fridge magnet doesn’t feel like enough, this is your film.

Your story lives somewhere specific

The beach where you met, the city where the question was asked: we film it wherever the story actually happened, in Tennessee or out of state.

You want to meet your film team early

Many couples meet us through this little film first, then keep the same team for the whole day, so the wedding morning starts with familiar faces.

Before we talk

A few things you might wonder.

01

What exactly is a save the date film?

A short, stylized film that announces your wedding date, shot at a location of your choice, built around an idea we brainstorm together. Guests don't just read the date, they feel the two of you months before the wedding.
02

How long is a save the date film?

Most land between 60 and 90 seconds, built like a teaser, made for sharing. If your idea wants more room, we'll plan for it in the brainstorming session.
03

When should we film it?

Whenever the idea is ready. Some couples film a year out, some a month before the wedding. It depends on the idea and how you'll use it. We'll figure out the timing together on the brainstorming call.
04

How do we share it with guests?

It's delivered digitally, optimized for text, email, and social. A play our couples love: send photo save-the-dates early so the date is on every fridge, then post the film about a month before the wedding, a reminder that it's coming up.
05

What's the investment?

Start by checking your date. We will talk through the idea, the location and whether this is a standalone film or part of your wedding plan. The brainstorming session is included, and your investment is confirmed together before booking.
06

Do you travel for save-the-date films?

All the time. If the place that matters to you two isn't in Nashville, that's not a problem. We'll go over travel for your location on the call.
07

Do we need an idea before we reach out?

No, that's what the brainstorming session is for. We never just go and film. Bring nothing but your date and we'll build the idea together. The sky's the limit with these films.
