About Emerald CinemaCinema: cin·e·ma/ˈsinəmə/ -a theater where movies are shown for public entertainment; -the production of movies as an art or industry. The story goes back to 2012. Beginning as a favor for friends and family and then growing to a full fleged photo and video production company. We currently employ a small but effective team of 6. Together we coordinate with couples the details for your big day! We then shoot, edit, and deliver amazing memories that will last a lifetime. We believe that your big day should feel like a movie, which is why we use cinema cameras and only the latest photography cameras that deliver the best image quality which we then "color grade" to produce rich skin tones and vibriant environments.

How well do you work with photographers?Too many brides have heard of horror stories of other videographers being a pain to work with, or there being conflict with photographers and videographers. With us that is NEVER an issue because we simply we let the PHOTOGRAPHER LEAD THE WAY. That simple. We don't let the photographer pose the couple just to go and pose the couple a second time. That makes no sense. We share poses and use the best angles to make those brief moments last forever. We also do photography ourselves so we know a thing or two about teamwork in creating some truly memorable experiences. With that being said we do like to take some time during sunset to create SPECIAL intimate moments with your partner for a few minutes. This time is oftentimes called "Golden Hour" and it produces the most gorgeous videos possible.
