About

Although weddings can often be seen as an industry, with conventions and formulas, the journey that two individuals take to get there is unique and rich with specificity. Âme believes the process to get to that specificity is the foundation in creating insightful and lasting stories.

Âme Collective is a Vancouver-based Wedding Creative Company that creates thoughtful and soulful perspectives of people's weddings through film, photography and design. Their methodology is rooted in their beliefs that the story of a wedding goes beyond the scope of the wedding day, and that these stories deserve to be celebrated. Their hope is that by asking the right questions they will be able to immerse themselves into the stories of each couple, and in turn be able to tell it.

Experience

Âme is made up of experienced industry professionals who, after years of working in wedding studios both big and small, decided to form and redefine what a wedding company can be. The Âme family consider themselves as storytellers who happen to work in weddings. They take their cues from not just photography and filmmaking principles, but from storytelling and ethnography.

Services offered

The team specialises in the expressive storytelling of Photography and Filmmaking, and not merely documents the event. They believe in finding poignant moments and revealing them in sensitive and emotional ways. Collaboration is paramount to Âme's process and clients can expect to be very involved in the storytelling process.

The wedding package may include second Photographer/Videographer, Engagement Shoot, Pre-Wedding Video (the Prequel), and Same-Day-Edits. The images delivered are high resolution and will be available in print as well as digital files.

How they work

Âme believes that in order to tell a story well, you have to understand it. Their methodology begins with a Story Consultation, a process in which they immerse themselves in their couple’s stories that go beyond the scope of the wedding day. From this intimate process they are able to understand the “who” in the story as well as the “why.” The Story Consultation has brought Âme to the homes of many of their clients and introduced them to their families who become important characters to their stories. It opens up the possibilities of what the story of a wedding can and effectively places the clients as Collaborators to their own storytelling.

Incredible cinematic work full of emotion and love

We're so glad that we went with Ame Collective to capture the moments from our wedding day. This is the simple, but most accurate way to describe their talent behind the camera. The team was able to capture the mood, the feeling, the emotion behind the day. All little moments put together from your special day are lost in your memories, but Ame Collective was able to grab onto those scenes and create a story for us. They spoke with us to understand what it is that we wanted to remember and what values were important to us, and their talented team was able to bring that to life in cinema quality. Truly this is one of the most treasured things we now have and can revisit for the rest of our lives. We feel so much gratitude towards Ame Collective, and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to remember and relive.

Thank you!

One-of-a-kind Wedding Photography and Videography experience!!!

The experience with Âme was truly amazing. We knew we wanted to book them because we loved what we heard from our friends who used them for their weddings. Similar to our friends' experience, they were amazing at responding and answering questions and just so easy to work with. We also really loved their work from seeing our friends wedding photos and videos. They are a one-of-a-kind wedding photography and videography company that really incorporates the story of the couple. My husband and I are so wowed everytime we watch our videos. Âme was able to capture all of the important moments for us. We highly recommend going with Âme if you are getting married and want them to capture every moment, and tell your story.

We LOVE the Wedding Story video - every couple needs this!! It literally brought so many of our friends to tears! Thank you Kevin, Phoebe, Eric, and the rest of the team!

love you guys!!

We love our photos!

WE had a great experience. Our evaluation criteria for our photography was that it had to be 'moment-focussed' and not staged, and this was exactly what I got. When we got our photos, I relived all the incredible moments and memories of that day. I love my photos and recommend Ame Collective to anyone looking for photography/videography for their big day. (PS. My husband loves them too!)

Guaranteed to love your photos/video

Amazing, amazing, amazing work!! Everyone at Ame Collective was fantastic to work with and our wedding photos and video are so beautiful. I love how they were able to get all the little moments in our wedding and words cannot express how happy we are with the final results. I am very shy and awkward in front of the cameras, but the whole team was so comforting and easy going that I actually forgot we were being filmed most of the time. I could write a whole essay on why you should choose Ame Collective, but to sum it up: Ame Collective has the magic ability to not only capture the candid, serious, and happy moments of your wedding, but they're able to capture the mood and essence of the moment and put that into a photo that you can keep forever. Everyone that has seen our photos/video comments on how great they are (it doesn't hurt that Ame knows just the perfect type of music to go with your video that'll make anyone cry). If you had any doubts, trust me, you will not regret hiring Ame Collective.

In A Class By Itself

One of the most important decisions about our wedding was choosing the right artists to visual and conceptualize our wedding. During the first consultation meeting, Phoebe told us a bit about the company, its background and their values. She then showed us both their photo and film work from previous weddings...and they were incredible. Right after the meeting, we knew that Âme was the right company for us.

The process leading up to our wedding day was stress free and easy going. For our engagement shoot, we met Eric who was assigned to our wedding as the lead photographer and he helped us feel at ease and comfortable as I usually hate being in front of cameras. As we had chosen to go with the Story package, interviews with us and and family members were also conducted months before our actual wedding date. During the consultation, we fell in love with the films that encompassed and portrayed the background journey's of the couples vs the films of just the wedding day itself. The emotion and feeling of the complete story to us, felt like it holds immense value. Kevin was our lead videographer, and right away you could tell that he is a visual storyteller at heart.

Finally, our wedding day had arrived. The whole Âme crew showed up on time and again made us feel comfortable. It was a hot day, so they were mindful to execute the shots they needed in the sun, while also directing us to more beautiful shady locations. We opted to also get the Same Day Edit add on to be shown at our reception. I was a bit skeptical of this add on as the guests are usually socializing and drinking. Honestly.. it was WORTH IT!! We don't know what kind of wizardry Phoebe was doing on her computer throughout the whole day, but holy f*cking sh*t we absolutely had no idea it would be THAT amazing mere hours after the footage had been filmed. Family and friends could not stop talking about it right after it was shown. It was THE icing on the cake to an already stunning day.

A few months after our wedding, we received the finished product. A hand crafted box with our USB and some printed photos of Âme's favourite selections from that day. The moments that were photographed by Eric and team were stunning, he froze moments that can't be imitated again and to us that was so important. Simply put, this was a visual story told by photos and film not only of us, but of the 2 families becoming one.

If you are researching and unsure who to choose to capture your day, just stop. Book that consultation meeting with Phoebe and you'll understand. This is a once in a lifetime day to be captured and it was WELL worth the investment! I would give 10/5 stars if I could.

AME Collective Inc., a team of wonderful people

AME Collective Inc., was a recommendation from our close friends. This creative team was exactly as advertised.. and more! Our initial meetings with Phoebe were personable where she took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we were looking for in terms of photography and videography. Phoebe shared with us a glimpse of their style to which we were immediately drawn to.

AME Collective Inc., has a real knack for capturing organic moments of not only us, on our big day, but also our friends and family. Looking back at all our photos and videos there were many moments we were too busy to notice but was wonderfully captured to allow us to re-live our beautiful day.

Above the moments that Eric, Natalie, Kevin and Brendan were able to capture and Phoebe was able to highlight – it was their attitude that made our day wonderful. The AME Collective Inc., team was so accommodating by adjusting to our postponement with the ever-changing health regulations, we felt the entire team really took care of us during the day. And yet, they also felt invisible when they were capturing our day. The quality of their work is superb and we are so happy with our choice. We would definitely recommend AME Collective Inc. to any future bride and groom.

Thank you again Phoebe, Eric, Natalie, Kevin and Brendan.

The most amazing photo/video team, ever.

TLDR - If we could rate Ame Collective any higher than 5 stars we would. To anyone who's looking for a wedding photographer/videographer - we had the best time and LOVED working with Ame Collective. They are so passionate about their work and the amount of care and detail that goes into making sure you're taken care of leading up to and on your wedding day (even afterwards)!!! They're absolutely outstanding. You won't find a better team anywhere else.

After seeing many of our friends use Ame for their weddings and being very impressed with the content, we hired Ame for our engagement photos + May 2021 wedding and we are SO happy we did!

The team met with us several times over the course of 1 year through Zoom and in person (safely) and helped us plan, re-plan and re-think our pandemic wedding. They were so patient with our endless questions, and even lent a hand with the little things (there's always many little things when planning a wedding).

The thing with Ame is - they will really try to get to know you and your partner and your families and all the important people and things in your life. The wedding story video is catered to each couple and the end result is not just your standard wedding reel, but something that is truly your own - a video that captures the essence of your relationship, and the individual + intertwined stories that led to marriage. The photos captured all the wedding highlights, and on top of that, Eric and Brendan also managed to grab snapshots of all the little tender moments in between. The team is so awesome and personable that we felt like we were friends at the end of it all :) I miss working with them!!

This team is SO dedicated that they even got themselves sunburnt and ended up with tshirt tans after staying out with us all day on an unexpectedly hot spring day to get the right shots. And all they kept saying was, "oh don't worry at all about us, we're totally fine!!" Trust me when I say Ame goes above and beyond!!

Phoebe, Kevin, Eric, Brendan, Natalie - we have nothing but great things to say about you all. We had so much fun with you guys and absolutely LOVED working with you. Thank you so much for going beyond our expectations and delivering services and content that is so much more amazing than we could have imagined.

Captured moments with a team that is invested and passionate about their work

This is my personal experience with Ame!

When picking a wedding photo style it was really important for me to have photos that captured the moments. When picking a company to be with us for our special day, aka the day we will spend the most money on in our lives lol, I wanted it all. I wanted the photos that are posed but also to see the moments that I couldn't be there for. I originally interviewed 3 teams and went with Ame. We chose the team at Ame because they are SO so good at capturing emotion, facial expressions and just the overall intention of the moment. Their photos illicit emotion. 😍Anyone can pose people and take the photos you need from a wedding ie couple, individual, family, wedding party etc.. but what Ame does that makes them stand out is the candids. When I look through the photos I remember what was happening, what led up to it. I posted some of my fav candids that I wasn't expecting but ended being some or my fav pictures from the day. Anyways tldr thank you so much to the Amecollective team for going above and beyond to capture one of the best days of my life. Can't wait for y'all to take my newborn and one year wedding anniversary family photos!

RAVE! 10/10 Would Recommend!

We are soooo happy we chose Ame Collective Inc. to do our wedding video, they really captured the most important parts of our day in a truly unique way. Kevin, Phoebe and their team are absolutely the best videographer to work with. They are very friendly, easy to talk to and very fun to work with. They made it fun being in front of the camera, and not awkward. They truly understand that the last thing a wedding couple needed for the wedding day was additional stress, and their planning clearly showed that they were very prepared for all of wedding's curveballs (ie. one of their videographers got injured the day before our wedding, but that didn't deter them from providing A+ service). Kevin's video edit is also top notch; he was able to capture the true essence of our special day that truly reflected me and my wife. His Wedding-Day-Film Edit was "so us."

Ame Collective Inc. met all our needs and understood what we wanted, and even went beyond to make our wedding like a dream come true!!! 10/10 would recommend, you won't be disappointed. Can't rave the team enough!! If you’re looking for a videographer for your special event, just stop looking... Ame Collective Inc. is hands down the best choice to go with!

Thank you Ame Collective Inc.!!

A magical experience I can relive

My daughter hired Ame Collective for her wedding and we just received the video recently. Throughout the process, Kevin and his team were a delight to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and were professional and respectful when filming in our home. Despite the hardships that happened this year, I'm so glad that my daughter was able to have her wedding . She originally wanted to have her wedding in Hawaii but due to Covid-19, we obviously had to cancel that. Ame Collective was really understanding and adapted to the situation. We managed to have a small wedding safely here in B.C and I felt it was better than what Hawaii could have been. Watching the video really made me relive that day again, They really captured my daughter and her husband's story. I would like to thank Ame Collective for the care and thoughtfulness they had when filming our family and friends and taking into consideration safety precautions that were in place. The video surpassed my expectations and my daughter and her husband cherish the video. I'm grateful for their hard work and hours they put into this project. I highly recommend them to anyone who would like a unique keepsake for their special event.
