Your Wedding,
just how you remember
Get to Know Us
I started Éternelle Love Stories because I believe wedding films should feel alive — not staged, not overproduced, but full of the small, fleeting moments that matter most. After years working as a filmmaker in New York City, I found myself drawn to stories that felt raw and honest… and nowhere have I seen more of that than in the weddings I’ve been lucky to capture.
Rooted between NYC and the Finger Lakes, Éternelle is built on a simple idea: every couple deserves a film that reflects their unique connection. My team and I bring a blend of cinematic craft and documentary intuition to every wedding, creating films that don’t just look beautiful, but feel personal and lasting.

Our Team.
We are a team of cinematic storytellers, blending technical precision with an artist’s eye. From sweeping aerials to the delicate texture of handheld 16mm film, we capture both the grand and the fleeting: a landscape, a look, a whispered vow. Every frame is crafted with intention to reflect the beauty, emotion, and essence of your magical day.
