We’re Olga and Ivan, the husband-and-wife team behind Éterna Films. Together since our school days in Russia, our journey has been shaped by love, family, and creativity.
When we got married, we didn’t hire a videographer—a decision we deeply regret. That experience fuels our passion for crafting wedding films that preserve the magic of your special day.
Outside of work, we cherish spending time with our son, Peter, and our cat, Leia.
About Éterna Films
Ivan has over 15 years of experience as a film editor, working on television and movie productions back in Europe. That deep editing background gives him a unique perspective as a videographer—he doesn’t just capture moments; he knows how to shape them into a meaningful, cinematic story.
Olga works as a videographer and handles photo editing, post-production, and our social media. Before this, she was a financial director, but photography and videography had always been her passion. She eventually left the corporate world to focus on creative work full-time.
our approach
We take time to get to know your story, your style, and what matters most. We’ll stay connected with your planner to make sure everything flows seamlessly.
We help create space for you to be present and soak it all in. Our team steps in when needed, guides gently, and captures what’s real.
While the day is still fresh in our hearts, we begin selecting the moments that hold the most emotion. You’ll get a highlight preview soon after.
We carefully edit and craft your gallery or film to reflect how it truly felt. Highlights come within a week, and the full gallery within 8–12 weeks. And your message after? That’s the part we never forget.
It starts with you
On the day, we slow it down
Then, the full story
Right after, we dive in
We don’t chase numbers. We take on a limited number of weddings each year because we want to give each one the attention it truly deserves. Every couple we work with matters to us. We’re here to tell your story the way it deserves to be told, with honesty, heart, and a whole lot of love.
We use a mix of modern and vintage equipment to create timeless and cinematic memories. We capture moments with high-quality digital cameras for crisp, detailed images and use a drone for stunning aerial shots that add a unique perspective. To bring a nostalgic, artistic touch, we also shoot on 35mm film and Super 8, giving couples a beautifully classic and romantic feel to their wedding footage.
