Love & Lore Films
Best friends and business partners Kaella Doty and Brooke Saler have been creating beautiful wedding films since 2022. Their luxury wedding videography business, Love & Lore Films, captures the full emotion of the big day with authentic, cinematic storytelling.
“We really try mixing digital and that Super 8 [look that] also adds that nostalgic vintage vibe. A lot of couples are looking for that documentary style of wedding film. They want the hands-off approach: the fly on the wall capturing candid moments, natural audio, the vows — events that are naturally unfolding,” says Saler.
The pair typically offers wedding videos created through a mix of digital and traditional film. They use a vintage Super 8 camera to achieve the popular nostalgic film look.
Love & Lore also offers teaser video reels and video postcards 24 hours post-ceremony, ideal for sharing online.
The company tailors custom video packages to meet the needs of each couple. By understanding which shots and styles the couple wants on their wedding day, Doty and Saler can curate their vision.
Love & Lore encourages couples to explore what style of storytelling best fits their personalities and priorities, whether that’s a candid documentary style or an editorial approach.
For a day as important as a wedding, Doty and Saler also punctuate that couples understand how the film process works.
“Asking questions like, ‘Are you backing up your files? How many audio recorders do you have?’ just truly ensures that you’re dealing with a professional who really aligns with your vision,” says Saler.
