What is the story behind Toast | Photo • Video • Content Creation?

Toast Weddings is a family-owned, full-service wedding media company specializing in photo, film, and social content creation. We are committed to inclusivity and serve couples of all backgrounds nationwide.

Toast was founded by Zach & Callie, a husband and wife team.

Zach is a documentary cinematographer and producer known for the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning documentary, The Price of Free, with other 5 documentaries premiering at Tribeca Film Festival.

Callie, in addition to being an experienced wedding and travel photographer, has collaborated with some of the most renowned photographers globally, editing photos for the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, and more.

Since 2014, we've been honored to capture over 3,000 weddings for incredible couples, winning Couple’s Choice on Wedding Wire, Knot Hall of Fame and Knot Best of Weddings eight years in a row.

We pride ourselves on creating all of your wedding media as a collaboration, deeply valuing what matters most to you. We understand that we're not just capturing any event, we’re telling a love story that becomes a part of your family history, through multiple different mediums.

All aspects of your wedding media package (photo, film, and/or social content creation) are completely customizable. We encourage you to be as hands-on as you like, and we make it easy for you to help guide every aspect. Even after the first draft of your wedding film is delivered, you'll have complimentary rounds of edits to ensure your film is exactly what you envisioned.

The best!

We are so glad we chose Toast to capture our beautiful wedding! After interviewing a few videographers, it quickly became clear that Toast was far more buttoned-up. Julianna was incredibly responsive, always proactively reaching out about upcoming deadlines, sharing information, and answering every question we threw her way. Every element of the footage captured by this talented team was gorgeous, and once everything came together, it was clear they knew exactly what we had envisioned.

Sandro was our day-of videographer, and we could not have been happier, or luckier, to have someone like him by our side. Not only was he kind and exceptionally talented, but he and his team were always in the right place at the right time. He calmly coached us through several shots he had in mind, and after seeing the results, it’s obvious he is unbelievably gifted.

The team delivered both our documentary and highlight films within a reasonable timeframe and was very flexible with the minor edits we requested. Overall, we cannot thank this team enough and would highly recommend choosing Toast for your special day!

Great videographer!

We had an amazing experience with Toast! We were on the fence about having a videographer due to our wedding budget but Toast was able to help us get a price that we were comfortable spending. We were able to get our main video, a documentary video of all the main things of our day, and all of our raw footage on a flash drive for a price that was right in our budget! We even paid to have an extra edit for our main video and did not even have to use it because our first round of edits was so beautiful! Leading up to our wedding I was able to tell them all my perfrences for what we wanted shot during the day of our wedding so that they could make sure they got exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding our videographer- Rafaiel- was amazing! He made us feel comfortable during shooting and had great suggestions for different shots and made sure that he got all the important things that we wanted included. Our day was running a little off track as weddings do and we were worried that we weren’t going to have any footage of our dance floor but Raf went out of his way to stay a little bit extra so we could still have some footage of our dance floor which was so incredible of him! We recommend Toast to anyone who is looking for a videographer and will defintley be recommending them and Raf to all our friends!

Loved my perfect wedding video!

Julianna was easy and polite to work with. Edward and Daniela were great videographers and drone operators who were so nice and shared in our joy on our wedding day. Finally we absolutely loved the final wedding video the team helped put together! It was all a customised and well-intentioned team that worked together to help achieve what I had envisioned for our wedding video, thank you so much!

Toast was a great choice

Yuxing was a very good photographer. The booking process was simple, and the photos turned out really nicely. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding photographer to consider using Toast. The price was also very competitive compared to many other brands. As a personal note, I liked that the photos were not over-exposed, which is an issue I find in a lot of wedding photos.

10/10 Recommend

As I was searching for videographers for my wedding, I wanted a company that was affordable yet made cinematic type videos. Toast was everything I could have wanted! Their team was WONDERFUL. Every single one of them (Tom, Ron, & Julianna). They got back to me in a timely manner, answered any and all questions, and crafted our dream wedding video that we will cherish forever and ever. 10/10 recommend!

Exceptional service! Highly recommend

It was a pleasure working with Toast Weddings! We worked with Julianna, Jaime, Joaquin, and Tristan. They were all very professional and friendly. We felt comfortable around them, and because of that we were able to be ourselves and appreciate every moment to the fullest. The Toast team was proactive in communications, and they were highly receptive to feedback the entire time, from the day of the ceremonies, to the editing process. They captured everything we asked for, including the special people and moments, and we could not have asked for better. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with Toast, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding coverage
