THIS IS US

FROM FARMERS ~
TO WEDDING PRO'S

About a million years ago we began our lives together as farmers. But life had other plans and Lumier Weddings was born in 2015 when Reinhard and Melissa fell in love with story telling. Today - almost 11 years, 1000 weddings and 5 kids (two sets of twins) later - we still live for telling the stories we document.

 

Reinhard is a self taught film maker who believes that every film needs to be a beautiful cinematic masterpiece that will remain timeless, and Melissa studied photography and comes from the old-school film era - where every image has to count. Together, we have travelled Africa ~ capturing love stories and re-telling it.
