About this vendor
Hey! We’re Michael and Giulia Tolar. Based out of North Texas, we’re the couple behind the cameras on your big day, very much in love with each other and always laughing and giving each other funny looks and little kisses. Michael has filmed or photographed 150+ weddings since 2015, and when we got married in 2022, we joined forces to become the world’s best wedding photographers and videographers (trust us, we asked our moms and they confirmed).
But seriously, we LOVE weddings. We believe marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts to us, and weddings are a celebration of that gift. Your wedding is the first day of one of God’s greatest gifts to you! And we can’t get enough of couples who are crazy in love. On your big day, you’ll find us encouraging you to be goofy, flirty, romantic, and focused on each other – always working hard to help you forget we’re there so the authenticity of your relationship makes its way to your photos and films.
We are creative documentarians! We style our work to represent the mood, character, energy level and vibe of your wedding. You’ll find our films are generally chronological, narrative-driven, and emotive – quiet when you’re quiet, building when you build, and dropping epic dance moves when you do. Our photography is true-to-life and not overly-colorized or dramatically edited. We love warmth, contrast, and sunset colors, but we can rock that light and airy style too.
During the week, Michael designs camera accessories as a mechanical engineer, and Giulia teaches high school broadcast and photography. When we’re not working the dance floor at your wedding or working our day jobs, you’ll find us somewhere in the world, trying to check off one of our endlessly deep bucket list of new places to explore with each other.
We can’t wait to be a small part of your lives.
With love,
Michael and Giulia

I was fortunate enough to attend a wedding of a dear friend where I got to see Michael and Giulia in action. We got a behind the scenes look from our friend and their process. We k...
new immediately we wanted to work with them to capture the wedding and everything leading up to it. They make it easy and fun. Very relaxed and they both have such an amazing eye and talent. We are not people who gravitate towards “ the limelight” normally but we didn’t even notice. We just had fun. No details were missed. If I could give one recommendation it would be to do the same day wedding video edit for guests to watch the pre ceremony festivities! It was a major hit with guest, family and our house party! On a scale from one to ten…. They get an eleventeen!
