meet The CORTESES
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and it deserves to be remembered in more than just still images.
While photographs capture individual moments, film brings it all to life: the sound of your vows, the music of your first dance, the emotion in your voices. As Connecticut-based wedding videographers serving Newport and beyond, we create cinematic films that preserve the atmosphere, emotion, and energy of your day in a way nothing else can.
This is more than a video — it’s a timeless heirloom you’ll revisit for years to come, and one your family will cherish for generations.
