“We move quietly, observe closely, and let events unfold without interference”
American Rose Films is a motion picture wedding studio led by Justin and Steph, partners in life and work. Based in Connecticut and traveling widely, they are drawn to the art of noticing. Their films, made primarily using 16mm analog film, capture the texture and feeling of a day as it unfolds. Each frame is exposed to light & developed through a chemical process. The result is a wedding film that feels like a memory.
They approach weddings with restraint. They move quietly, observe closely, and let events unfold without interference. This creates space for people to be relaxed and themselves.
Years of working together have shaped a shared instinct. As a married team, they understand the emotional pace of a wedding and the responsibility of documenting it. They approach each commission as a family heirloom, something meant to be returned to over a lifetime and beyond.

Our wedding film feels like a piece of living art—both beautiful and deeply nostalgic. Justin and Steph didn’t just capture moments, they captured the essence of who we are as a couple and the spirit of the entire day.
Watching it brought us both to tears. More than anything, it feels like a family heirloom—something we’ll return to again and again. Seeing all of our loved ones together, preserved so beautifully, is truly priceless.
We’re so thankful to Justin and Steph for being such a meaningful part of our celebration and for the care, intention, and artistry they poured into our film.
