Let’s make your special event timeless!

Hi! we Specialize in People And Their Stories

We’re Terrence and Suzi, a husband-and-wife filmmaking team devoted to capturing love the way it truly feels — unforced, luminous, and deeply human.
Over the years, we’ve learned that what people remember most about their wedding isn’t just the moments, but the feeling of it all — the way the day unfolds, the quiet inhale before walking down the aisle, the laughter that carries long into the night. Our films are about preserving that feeling forever, telling stories that feel both timeless and alive.

We are a filmmaking team drawn to the quiet, honest moments that make love feel real — the ones you don’t plan for, but never forget.
What stays with people long after a wedding day isn’t just what happened, but how it felt to be there — the nerves before the ceremony, the warmth of familiar voices, the joy that lingers as the night slowly fades. Our films are created to hold onto those feelings, so they can be returned to again and again, just as alive and meaningful as the day itself.

“I was kinda nervous that videography was going to be one of my most expensive vendors. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone in the midst of wedding planning. But HOLY COW was it worth every penny! When we got our videos back we were brought to tears. I am so thankful we have a short film to watch for every anniversary to come. They are masters at what they do! Trust them and their final product. Bonus that everyone at Lighten Films is also amazing! They laugh at my corny jokes, and I heard they even helped my husband tie his own bow tie!” – Stephanie
“I cannot say enough good things about Terrence and Suzi! Our wedding cinematography is off the charts and every single person comments on the quality, the story telling , the editing the music and everything about our video overall. Makes us cry tears of joy every time! Terrence has the most amazing eye and talent. We are honored and grateful to have him film the most important last of our lives. Not only are they amazing as professionals but they are an incredible couple and family! I’d be remissed if I didn’t say that we are still friends with their family. Lighten Films is more than a vendor, they are a feeling and like family.”  -Chenine
“I am so grateful that I hired Terrence to capture our wedding! He did a phenomenal job! To be honest, I did not consider hiring a videographer for our wedding as a necessity, but after viewing the videos that Terrence captured for us, I am so thankful that I did. It was completely necessary and knowing what I do now, I would have regretted not hiring Terrence for the rest of my life. Our wedding went by so fast, but we have a beautiful video that lets me relive the best day of my life forever. I am so impressed with how well Terrence was able to film all the aspects of our wedding. We had a wide variety of footage, which is all beautiful, steady, and clear. Terrence did an exceptional job of creating a  video that really fit our personalities as well as the mood that we wanted to convey. He really listens to you and gives you exactly what you want. Not only was his work product so great, but I also felt that interacting with Terrence at our wedding made my wedding experience even better. He has a friendly, bubbly personality that is infectious. I felt like he was one of my friends, and I really enjoyed talking to him throughout the day. We laughed a lot! I really appreciated that Terrence worked with my needs and my budget. In summary, you need to hire Terrence! I am so lucky that I did.” – Laura
