Why stop-motion?

Stop-motion is a stylized approach to capturing moments. They’re very reminiscent of the vintage home movies your grandparents took, and the finished product looks like something that could have been caught on Super-8. As someone who practically lives at antique and thrift stores, I get to combine my love of capturing moments in a way that feels nostalgic, while also providing a cool new way to watch your wedding day back.

Stop-motion films are a stylized way of capturing movement through photography! Basically, I take photos super fast, then later stitch them together to bring the movement to life. These are edited in 2:3 vertical without audio, so they’re perfectly sized for social media!
