You have to book this incredibly talented and amazing team!

We hired Optikool Illusions to film our Nigerian Traditional Ceremony and our American Wedding Ceremony in March and both videos have been on repeat ever since. We absolutely LOVE them both. We can’t thank Darryl and his team enough for capturing all the love and infectious joy we felt on both days. Each film is so unique, and we’re so grateful to their incredible team for all their hard work in putting our wedding films together so beautifully. The team helped us feel so comfortable and at ease and it shows in how amazing our films turned out. We are so grateful for them and all their talent and we feel so lucky to have had them on board to capture our special moments! We will cherish these films forever and we hope to have the opportunity to work with them again sometime very soon!
