Before you share you’re story…

LET US TELL YOU OURS

Hey There!

We’re Marty & Nickki, your not-so-typical movie buffs and 80’s aficionados rolled into one dynamic husband-and-wife duo. We’ve got a serious thing for movies, music, and all things totally rad from the 80’s! Catch us sipping on coffee or a cool beverage, geeking out over our favorite flicks (especially the nerdy ones), and hanging with our wild pack of Beagles.

When we’re not immersed in cinematic adventures or wrangling our furry family members, you’ll find us behind the lens, capturing the epic moments of awesome couples like you. Consider us your unofficial third (and fourth) wheels—because we’re all about blending into your squad and capturing your special day with our unique style of fun and flair.

So, if you’re ready to rock your wedding day with a touch of 80’s nostalgia and a whole lot of laughter, we’re here to make your moments last forever.

Who Am I? The Rock & Roll Romantic
I’m the guy who researches everything, from the best way to brew coffee to the optimal route for getting to the airport three hours too early (because, let’s be real, I like winning at life). Once upon a time, I shredded guitar in a prog rock band, even sharing the stage with some of my idols, and now I capture epic love stories—same energy, fewer pyrotechnics and a suit instead of a leather jacket. While I might seem all cool and collected, deep down, I’m a total sap. If your vows are a tearjerker, I’ll be behind the camera, pretending I have “something in my eye.” Spoiler: It’s feelings.


My Karaoke Anthem?
Picture this: It’s been a long wedding day, I’m driving home, and suddenly, I’m in a full-blown solo concert. Do I nail every note? Nope. Do I perform with my whole heart? Absolutely. As a metalhead, I usually headbang to songs no one else has heard of, but when it’s karaoke time, I’m all about the classics, think Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac, or Toto. Give me just enough drinks, and you might witness the most gloriously off-key version of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga ever attempted. No refunds.

What’s On My Screen? 
I take my binge-watching very seriously. If it’s a TV show, it’s gotta be a feel-good comedy—Seinfeld, Parks & Rec, The Office, or Bob’s Burgers (because, obviously, Bob is my role model). But when it’s movie time? We’re talking big, dramatic, cinematic masterpieces—Christopher Nolan everything, The Dark Knight Rises, Avengers: Endgame, Star Wars. Basically, if it’s got epic music and people dramatically staring into the distance, I’m in.

How I Spend My “Me” Time?
You’ll find me trying to lift heavy things, strumming my guitar (while subtly hinting to Nickki that I need a new one), or taking way too many photos of our four-legged family members. Gotta keep that shutter finger in shape!

Dream Holiday Destination?
We had an epic time in Canada in 2024, but if I could go anywhere with no limits? Iceland, hands down. A few weeks surrounded by jaw-dropping landscapes, northern lights, and waterfalls that look straight out of a fantasy movie? Yes, please.

Would I spend every waking moment with a camera glued to my hand, chasing the perfect shot? Absolutely. Would it actually feel like a holiday? Probably not—because while most people relax on vacation, I’d be sprinting across lava fields, setting up wide-angle shots, and whispering sweet nothings to my tripod. Worth it.

Who Am I? The Human Snickers Bar
If I were a chocolate bar, I’d be a Snickers—sweet, a little nutty, and best enjoyed frequently. (Also, yes, you can win me over with Snickers bribes. I have no shame.) Weddings make my heart happy, and getting to be part of so many incredible love stories? The absolute best.  I’m an equal-opportunity pet lover—dogs, cats, you name it. If it’s fluffy and adorable, I’m obsessed (especially with our own furry overlords).

As for flowers? Look, receiving them is great (who’s saying no to surprise blooms?!), but recently, I’ve decided that growing my own is the goal. So now, I’m on a mission to turn our Tassie home into a full-blown flower farm. Will I succeed? Will Marty even notice before it’s too late? Stay tuned.

Where Would You Find Me on a Day Off?
What day off?! If I do get one, I’m either crafting up a storm (because Instagram made it look way easier than it actually is), lost in a book, or outside staring at my garden, contemplating how to break it to Marty that we need way more space for flowers. Spoiler alert: he never sees it coming.

Go-to Music Playlist?
Unlike Marty, I don’t need a karaoke bar to belt out a tune—I am always ready. Can I hold a note? Sure. Is it the right note? Ehhh, questionable. I’m a huge 80s pop and rock fan, but these days, my playlists are filled with Coheed and Cambria, The Dear Hunter, and of course, Toto (because Africa is a lifestyle).

Favourite Movie?
Picking one? Impossible. I’m a massive Star Wars and Marvel fan, I’ll always have a soft spot for Harry Potter, and when I need a good cry? Practical Magic. Marty insists it’s the acting. I insist he has no appreciation for 90s Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

Where Does Photographery & Videography Fit In?
If we traveled more (cough Marty, take notes cough), my camera would be permanently attached to my hands. I’m a sucker for wildlife photography and capturing the most magical wedding moments. The best part? That split-second when I turn to Marty mid-shot and yell, "OH MY GOD, DID YOU GET THAT TOO?!" Absolute perfection.
