Film holds power. It captures mountain breezes through veils, secret shared smiles and zany dance moves. Most importantly, it brings it all back to life. Over the past 10 years here at Zweifel Studios we have been compelled by the power of Story. We've made films about people, businesses, surfing, lifestyle - everything. But bearing witness to weddings - major milestones in the lives of others - are uniquely vulnerable and joyful occasions. These films inherently hold deep meaning and are often looked at for the rest of peoples lives - giving us a sense of responsibility to do our best each and every time.
