I started Studio Bir because I went to a wedding once and couldn't remember it a year later. Not because it wasn't beautiful — but I had no film of it. Memory is not reliable. The light goes first. Then the sounds. Then the faces at the edges of the frame. I wanted to make something that holds the light.

The films we make are slow and specific and sometimes forty minutes long. They are made for a version of you that is sixty years old, sitting with your grandchildren, wanting more than anything to go back for one hour to the day when everything was about to begin.

We take on a small number of weddings each year — not to seem exclusive, but because the work demands the time. I have sat in the edit room at three in the morning watching a twenty-second clip of a mother hugging her daughter, knowing that was the moment the entire film had to build toward.
