Stop Motion Wedding Video – Mary Ellyn + Zach at Orchard Valley Acres

https://vimeo.com/375469995

Mary Ellyn and Zach were married at Orchard Valley Acres near West Bend, Wisconsin, a farm wedding with chickens wandering the property, dinner served out of an old firetruck, and enough happening all day that stop motion made more sense than any single photo could. By the time we finished editing, we’d shot close to 3,500 photos, our highest count yet for a wedding, and turned them into this.

If you’re curious about our stop motion wedding films, this one is a good place to start — 3,500 frames is still one of our highest counts.

We're on a treasure hunt for beauty. We want our images to take you right back to the grand moments of your day, and to the milliseconds that flew past, the ones you couldn't stop to breathe and look around and appreciate while they were happening. We don't invent those moments. We recognize them.

Our couples trust us to document the people and moments that matter most to them, which frees them up to spend the day with each other instead of with us.

We're rooted near Viroqua, in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, a small foodie-and-outdoors town that shaped how we see beauty in everyday moments. From there we travel across the state, with Madison and Door County among our most-photographed areas, alongside Milwaukee, Spring Green and La Crosse. Fifteen+ years in, we still don't take the trust of a wedding day lightly.
