Weddings, as cinema.

The House Philosophy

We make wedding films the way cinema is made — composed, patient, and lit with intention. Not a minute cut to a trending song, but a film you will sit down to watch, together, for the rest of your lives.

The highlight reel

  • Made for the feed
  • Cut to the beat of a borrowed song
  • Watched once, scrolled past

The Chiaros film

  • Made for your grandchildren
  • Scored to your vows, your voices, your people
  • Watched every anniversary

II.  The Stills

Plates I – VI

Photography is offered as a companion to film — one eye, one light, one continuous story.

A bride in a red striped headscarf laughing in her partner's arms in an alpine meadow
I. Close enough to laugh
Newlyweds embracing before a draped ivory altar among the redwoods
II. Just married, among the redwoods
A couple at night outside a glowing restaurant window, she in a floral qipao
III. After hours
A couple embracing, small on a grassy clifftop above a wide blue sea
IV. Just the two of them
A bride and groom running through a burst of pigeons beneath a grand stone archway
V. Scattering the pigeons
A black and white photo of a bride and groom walking away hand in hand
VI. After everyone left
Behind the scenes: the Chiaros crew filming a ceremony among the redwoods
On set, San Francisco

III.  A letter from the director

Dear bride-to-be,

You will spend a year planning a single day, and then it will be over in what feels like an hour. My work is to give that hour back to you — not as a montage, but as a film you can step inside.

I take on a small number of weddings each year so that every one is treated as a production: scouted, storyboarded, lit, and edited slowly. I will be quiet on the day. You will barely know I am there — until you see what I saw.

With warmth,Chiaro

Founder & Director of Photography

IV.  The Experience

From first letter to premiere.

  1. i.

    The Conversation

    An unhurried call — or coffee, if you’re close — to hear how you met, what you love, and what you never want to forget.

  2. ii.

    Pre-Production

    Venue scouting, a shot plan, and a timeline built with your planner around the best light of the day.

  3. iii.

    The Day

    A small, discreet crew. No staged moments, no megaphones — just considered direction when it matters.

  4. iv.

    The Edit

    Eight to twelve weeks in the cutting room. Colour graded by hand, scored to your own words.

  5. v.

    The Premiere

    Your film arrives in a linen-bound keepsake box, with an invitation to watch it first, together.

V.  Letters

“We have watched it more times than we can count. Every time, someone new in the room goes quiet. It doesn’t feel like a wedding video — it feels like us.”
