Hunter and Logan are passionate about telling the love story of every couple, and capturing their most intimate wedding moments through film. Hunter and Logan talk about creating a time capsule for their clients that they can relive and share with their families for years to come, what it’s like to work together as a couple themselves, and how their style has evolved over the years. 

Hunter and Logan share their best advice for couples who are looking for a videographer, their dream wedding to shoot, and the benefits of working with vendors who all know each other. Hunter discusses his musical background and how it helps him select the perfect background track for each couple’s film, as well as his viral video, ‘This is Eclipseville.’ Hunter and Logan also tell Danielle and Sara one of their biggest wedding horror stories, and Logan gives brides an excellent tip to do away with the bra on their big day to avoid unsightly indentations for their photos and videos.
