At Mendocino Photo & Video, Nile’s approach to wedding-day films is with a photojournalistic and documentary style, seeking to capture emotions and moments in their authenticity—rather than directing and controlling the scene. Mixing different elements of a couple’s celebration, each wedding-day film is captured with an unobtrusive presence, aerial drone footage, personal and heartfelt messages from guests, and candid moments. Mendocino Photo & Video produces documentary-style videos that bring couples back to their special day, and allow them to share it with family, friends, and those who weren’t able to join in the celebration.
