Music for the stories we tell.
I’m exploring custom music for each film, giving every story its own sound. These songs are part of that exploration and aren’t necessarily the tracks you’ll hear in a finished film.

Why we use licensed music
Your first-dance song may mean the world to you. But playing it at your wedding doesn’t automatically give us permission to use it as the soundtrack to your film.
Most music—including the popular songs you hear on the radio and streaming services—is protected by copyright. Using a recording in a film generally requires permission covering both the song and that particular recording. Buying the song or having a streaming subscription doesn’t include those permissions.
That’s why we select music from royalty-free libraries and license it for our films. We look for tracks that fit your personalities, the emotion of the story, and the atmosphere of the wedding. I’m now also creating music for our films as I explore and develop my own sound.
