For some, filmmaking is a profession. For 3 Petits Points, it’s a calling. With a background rooted in New York University’s prestigious film school, their journey into wedding videography was anything but conventional.
“I have always been a full-time filmmaker, working on a variety of projects, from film sets to commercials and corporate films.” But the defining moment came unexpectedly. After returning to Europe, an invitation to a close friend’s wedding changed everything. “Broke and jobless at the time, I decided to gift my friends a wedding film. The praise and love I received took me by surprise and filled me with a deep sense of fulfillment.” From that moment, 3 Petits Points was born.
Every filmmaker has a distinct style, and for 3 Petits Points, their work is a blend of cinematic storytelling, documentary moments, and a polished touch of fashion-commercial flair. This approach allows them to create wedding films that feel both timeless and modern.
While every wedding holds its own magic, one moment stands out as the most rewarding.
“The moment we enjoy most at a wedding is watching the couple’s and guests’ reactions when they see their Same Day Edit during the reception.” The joy, the tears, and the pure emotions captured in real-time reaffirm the purpose behind their art. “While our films may not change the world, in that moment, we know we’ve made a small impact in theirs.”
Establishing a connection with couples is at the heart of 3 Petits Points’ philosophy.
“We believe in building a strong connection with our clients because we’ll be spending an entire, intimate day(s) with them.” Instead of directing couples right away, they focus on making them feel comfortable. “We avoid directing or guiding right away, allowing couples to get accustomed to our cameras first. We let them be themselves, and once they’re at ease, we gently ask them to repeat natural movements.” This ensures that the film remains authentic and true to the couple’s personality.
A couple’s mindset on their wedding day plays a significant role in how their film turns out.
“My advice is simple: live in the moment with your partner. Those natural, candid moments are the ones that make the best footage.” When it comes to being on camera, confidence is everything. “For the ladies, I like to tell them to channel their inner Beyoncé, and for the guys, to think of a GQ magazine shoot.” The goal is for couples to feel confident and, most importantly, have fun.
Destination weddings hold a special place in their hearts. “Yes, we do destination weddings! Our team has multicultural backgrounds, and we all share a passion for travel, which naturally draws us to weddings around the world.” Whether it’s a sun-drenched beach in Italy, an intimate château in France, or a cityscape wedding in New York, 3 Petits Points brings the same passion for storytelling to every destination.
For 3 Petits Points, wedding videography isn’t just about capturing moments—it’s about weaving emotions, atmosphere, and memories into a breathtaking narrative. Each frame is thoughtfully crafted, each story told with heart. If you’re looking for a filmmaker who values genuine emotions and timeless artistry, 3 Petits Points is a name to remember.
