What Folks Are Saying
Iwona Vandermeer
Sydney for capturing our wedding day so beautifully on video. The highlight he’s created for us brings the whole day back to life - we can’t stop rewatching the footage and smiling. Sydney has been so great to work with in all stages"
"Thinking back to our wedding day - it all feels like a dream.
The mix of digital and tintype gave us some really beautiful keepsakes as well as capturing some more candid moments to accompany our memories. Unexpected bonus of the tintype process is that at least one uncle is going to look like an axe murderer in the family photos.”
"Relaxed and personable...
Byron & Hanna Fry
Captured beautifully in both digital & traditional Tin-Type style photography. Our day was not just a celebration of love, but also a reflection of crafts and passions. The added, late-night, moments he created in Tin-Type for us and our guests brought an incredibly unique and memorable touch.”
We are over the moon to share a glimpse of our special farm wedding!
