Are you experienced with
destination weddings?
Absolutely! We love to travel, and

every year. Were well-versed in the
planning and preparation required
tto ensure that we and our gear
arrive in plenty of time for your
wedding, whether its on the other
side of town or the other side of the
globe, and would love to talk further
about creating a custom package for
your destination wedding.
HHave a question? Wed love to hear
from you! Please send your question to:
hello@ollistudio.com
Weve never been professionally filmed before. Will we need to look at the camera a lot?
Here at Olli Studio Cinematography,
wwe prefer to take an unobtrusive,
documentary approach when telling
the story of your day. We capture
moments naturally as they unfold, so
theres no need to direct your words
or expressions towards the camera at
all; think beautiful art film. You can
sisimply relax and be yourselves, and
leave everything to us. Before you
know it, you wont even notice that
were there at all! You can simply
enjoy every moment, be yourselves,
and let us do what we do
best....capture the day!
My fianc and I really want to have a nighttime wedding, but Ive heardthat will spell disaster for our video.What do you think we should do?
GGo for it! While cinematographers
generally prefer natural light to
artificial light, you should always
ddo what makes you happy. At OLLI
Studio Cinematography we come
equipped to handle any lighting
situation and have years of
experience with many different
venues and circumstances, including
nighttime weddings. Because you
nenever have to worry about your
footage not coming out nicely, go
ahead and have your dream
wedding and leave the details to us.

OLLI STUDIO
From the moment I picked up a camera for the first
time to capture a family road trip for a high school
art project, I knew I was onto something special.
Watching the smiles spread across my parents faces
as they relived our adventure on the small screen
was the perfect precursor to my career today.
Through years of college courses and life
eexperiences, the pull to capture lifes moments was
never far away, and my dreams to document more
memorable moments for others ultimately led me to
my career as a wedding cinematographer. After all,
what day is more special than your wedding?
InIn business for over ten years, We've collaborated
with hundreds of engaged-couples, like yourself, to
help bring their wedding vision to life.
Forever & a Day: Wedding Cinematography For a Lifetime
OUR STORY
again and again, and the final film was worth the wait. I cant wait to share you with friends.
Victoria & Logan
THE FILM YOU created for our wedding was so beautiful! I loved that we got to see a sneak peek trailer so soon after the wedding. I couldnt pull myself away from the computer, watching it
love of that day and those special friends and family members surrounding us. Thank you so much.
Louise & Greg
YOU TOOK THE most beautiful and special day of my life and captured every moment so perfectly. Every time I look at my wedding film, Im reminded
my mother died of cancer last year. The care and attention you give to even the little things is one of the reasons I tell all of my friends about you.
Priscilla & Jon
THANK YOU FOR your incredible eye for detail. One of the scenes you captured might not have appeared important to anyone else, but the broochI was wearing was given to me before
Be sure to have a hair and makeup trial at least a month before your
wedding. This will give you peace of mind to know exactly how
you will look and give you the opportunity to change things
in advance if necessary. Make sure to bring all jewelry to the
trial to see how makeup shades work with the pieces.
Have your florist deliver your flowers to where you are getting ready,
not the cenot the ceremony venue. Youll want your flowers there and
ready to go.
Find out what the rules for cinematographers are at the ceremony
location. All venues are different, some restricting the location of
cinematographers and even the times in which they are permitted.
If possible, arrange to have your formal photographs taken before the
ceremony. Getting this step out of the way early in the day frees
up the up the rest of your time to spend with your guests. You will be
able to go straight to cocktail hour and catch up with loved
ones without stress.
Have food delivered to your getting ready location. It may be hectic, but
take the time to have a bite before the wedding since it will be a
while before you have the opportunity to nourish yourself during
the reception. Youll want to make sure you feel your best!
PPrepare an emergency bridal kit with clear nail polish, mints, a
sewing kit, stain treater, Visine, safety pins, bobby pins, pain
reliever, and mini deodorant.
Allowing 50% more time for hair and makeup than you originally
anticipated alleviates the number one reason wedding schedules
end up running late. This will assure you have plenty of time
for all the portraits you want to take before the wedding.
Make suMake sure you discuss a rain plan with your venue just in case
Mother Nature doesnt see sunshine in the cards.

WITHOUT BEING HARRIED
OLLI STUDIO CINEMATOGRAPHY6
THE BEST ADVICE FOR A BRIDE.
Make sure to have a close friend or relative help
you keep track of time, says Melanie. In the
excitement of the events taking place, its so easy to
run late, especially when so many of you might be
getting ready together!
THE BIGGTHE BIGGEST SURPRISE ABOUT THEIR WEDDING DAY.
We had an exciting moment when the ring bearer
tripped coming down the aisle, says Zack. Hes my
nephew, and man, he really ate it! The flower girl
went back, pulled him up, and they kept walking.
Everybody loved that.
THEIR FAVORITE SCENE.
Everything! says Melanie. You told the story of
our day so perfectly, from preparation to dancing
the night away, that we couldnt possibly choose. You
tied all of our favorite moments together in one
beautiful film.
WHAT THEY LOVED MOST ABOUT WORKING WITH YOUR STUDIO CINEMATOGRAPHY.
ZackZack says, OLLI STUDIO Cinematography was
really cool. I didnt know what to expect from a
cinematographer, so when I saw scenes of people
and things I never got to see during the day, I was
pretty happy. She caught all of the details and got
great footage of friends and family, too.
HOW TO TAME THOSE WEDDING DAY NERVES
Melanie sMelanie says, Theres no real way to not be
nervous, but I tried not to think about it, pretending
we were getting ready for prom instead.
WHICH ONE MOMENT WILL LAST FOR THEM FOREVER.
ZZack and Melanie say they will most remember
seeing Zacks brother cry at the altar. My brothers
a pretty tough guy, so seeing him tear up a little
during the ceremony was enough to make me
almost lose it. Thankfully, the cinematographer
caught the moment on film. It was cool to see him so
happy for me.
...when I saw scenes of
people and things I never
got to see during the day,
I was pretty happy...
I RECENTLY HAD THE privilege of
filming Zack and Melanies gorgeous
wedding this last fall. The brisk weather was
a perfect compliment to the racing pulses of
friends and family as the two said, I do.
BecauseBecause weddings are a flurry of excitement
and special moments between loved ones,
OLLI STUDIO Cinematography creates a
timeline plan with you on what shots are
your must-haves, while surprising you with
those precious random moments you missed.
Youll get to enjoy the day for years to come.

So many things are special about your wedding day. While the pillow your
ring bearer carries might seem like a minor detail, it was actually made
from your Christening gown. Or your unassuming shoes with the delicate
pearl buttons, mean everything to you since they were your mothers
wedding shoes too.
These are the smaller, sometimes unnoticed details that tell the unique story
oof your special day, and that OLLI STUDIO Cinematography proudly
notices and documents. These objects are all a part of your distinct history
as a couple, sharing your yesterdays while you prepare for your many

cameras and phones away during the ceremony.
Oftentimes guests will raise their arms up or lean
into the aisles to capture their shots, obscuring the
view for your cinematographers and photographers.

song early. Take your time! This allows us to
capture the dance from a variety of angles, as well
as the expressions of your nearest and dearest as
they look on. Soak up the momentyou only get
one first dance.
