DMS Films • New York
Over twenty years experience creating customized wedding films for couples who understand and value the importance of couture cinematography. How do we accomplish this you ask… we spend a ton of time getting to know all about YOU. Typically one wedding per week. This is the basis of our philosophy. We don’t agree with companies that literally treat you like a number. For us we would much rather treat you like family. Weddings are too important. The art of collaboration and personal connection is not only fulfilling but it’s how we roll. Come and join our family and let’s have a blast.
