We’re Daydream Creative Weddings, a California-based photo and video duo built on friendship, creativity, and a shared love for adventure. Specializing in destination weddings and elopements, we document love with a cinematic, documentary, and editorial approach that feels raw, nostalgic, and intentional. For us, it’s not about following traditions or creating cookie-cutter images — it’s about celebrating couples who live boldly, laugh freely, and value moments over expectations.

The Daydream Team went above and beyond to ensure every stunning detail and every special moment from our little mountain wedding was beautifully preserved in both photos and video. Their dedication to getting exactly what we wanted, combined with their easygoing and thoughtful approach, made working with them such a joy. Matt and John not only made us look amazing but also perfectly showcased the natural beauty of our surroundings. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
