The Production Team

A family-owned St. Augustine studio built on cinematic artistry, military-grade discipline, and 30 years of technical leadership.

Chase Dela Cruz

Lead Filmmaker & Primary Contact

Chase is the creative heartbeat of the studio and your primary point of contact. With a background in the Screen Actors Guild, he treats every wedding as a major motion picture rather than a standard event.

Chase manages the entire technical ecosystem—from operating the Netflix-approved DJI Ronin 4D 6K during your St. Augustine ceremony, to executing the final DaVinci Resolve color grade of your cinematic legacy.

Parks Dela Cruz

Cinematographer & Drone Specialist

Parks provides the essential documentary coverage that completes our films. As an FAA Part 107 Certified Pilot, he operates the DJI Air 3s and the agile DJI Avata 2 POV drone to capture dynamic, high-bitrate 4K aerials of Northeast Florida's most stunning venues.

On the ground, Parks is a master of multi-camera operations. He seamlessly maneuvers the newly acquired Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro—selected specifically for its unique ability to capture breathtaking cinematic footage. Simultaneously, he manages our Sony FX3 and Sony FX30 cinema cameras on professional tripods, ensuring your story is told flawlessly from every perspective while Chase handles the tracking shots.
