Real Wedding: Tonya + Ori’s Mexico Destination Adventure

When Ori and Tonya began wedding planning, they knew one thing for sure—they wanted a videographer who could capture their most authentic selves. And that one desire also led them to their one concern—feeling uncomfortable and awkward on camera.

They wanted their personalities to shine naturally, without any forced or scripted moments. Additionally, with many planned events, they were worried about how their videographer could capture everything and portray it perfectly.

Can you imagine the thrill of getting to walk back down this aisle with your sweetie’s hand in yours?


Ori and Tonya’s wedding was a dream to film – from the adventurous cenotes adventure to the heartwarming welcome party; every event was a testament to their love and joy.

The ceremony was beautifully intimate, and Tonya’s brother’s fire-spinning performance added a touch of excitement to the day. The reception was equally captivating, with enchanting dragon dancers and the couple being lifted during the Jewish Havdalah dance—it was incredible! 

Fortunately, Ori and Tonya had attended a wedding we filmed previously and saw firsthand how we worked with the bride and groom. They also watched the final film, ultimately leading them to choose us.

Throughout the process, we sought to provide an experience beyond just capturing footage. Spending time with Ori and Tonya, away from the hustle and bustle, allowed us to capture candid moments of love and happiness. The beautiful venue and surroundings inspired us to use our drone to its fullest potential, and we got some breathtaking aerial footage that added an extra layer of grandeur to their film.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of their love story and look forward to continuing to share our passion for videography with couples like them. 

If that includes you, please reach out! We would love to help you capture your day and craft an unforgettable wedding film you can cherish forever.
