Relive Memories For Generations


Being the first in my family to attempt to break the cycle of poverty. The videos and photos of my family and I growing up will forever be cherished. It's a great way to see how far we've come and to also know that future family members will be able to see us alive and in motion. I want to bring that surreal experience to others as well. It really does make capturing the special moments of others that much more important.

Meet Videographer & Business Owner, Shounam Ches.


Hi, my name is Shounam Ches (pronounced soo-nom or tsunami like the big wave without the "i" at the end haha). I come from a small family of five. I'm the oldest sibling with two younger brothers. I'm a first-generation college student with a degree in interactive media technologies. I worked in catering for three years back in high school, as a resident assistant & as a digital marketing intern during college, as a pre-loader at UPS for a year, and as a digital content producer at a news station after college. A lot of different jobs along the way to get to this point. During all of that, I was consistently developing my photography, videography, and post-production skills through a variety of once-in-a-lifetime experiences over the last decade in this business.


At 25 years old, I've officially become a full-time videographer/business owner, and it wouldn't have been possible without you! Your once-in-a-lifetime day deserves to be captured to its entirety and completely stress-free, so that's why when you sign up to our email & text messaging list. You get access to everything you get from our packages, pricing, and an overall seamless customer experience before and after your wedding day.


It's soooo fun to put smiles on people's faces and to get the privilege to view the world through a lens of joy, faith, and abundance after so many hardships growing up.


BIG NOTE: At no point are you required to buy anything after signing up to our email and text messaging campaigns. If you feel we are a good fit to work together then great!! 🥰


Simply signing up to our email + text messaging list or direct messaging us on Instagram is the best way for us to help make your day stress free!

Pictured next to me is my sugar momma. Without her I'd be out on the streets in a cardboard box. 😂 But seriously though, she's the love of my life and is 100% behind my vision. I wouldn't be where I am today without her. ❤️

Meet Videographer & Business Owner, Jey Ches.


Hi, my name is Jey Ches and I love Jesus. I've done mission trips all around the world in my early twenties and definitely want to continue doing work for the kingdom. I come from a small family of five. I'm the middle child between my two brothers. My brother, Shounam, is the oldest and the youngest is Rayhou. I love filming weddings and am extremely thankful for the blessings I've received and witnessed. I've worked at a Hy-Vee in the meat department, catered weddings, business events, and more back in high school and through my early twenties. Today, I've filmed near a decade worth of weddings alongside my brother and we are finally going full time!


I love playing sports recreationally, gaming, attending church services, hanging out with friends, and producing creative projects for others.


I would love to be a part of your wedding day! 😇
