The Story of Why — RiverPine Studios

At RiverPine Studios, we believe every story deserves to be told beautifully—and it all started with a LEGO.

Dalton Tengelsen first fell in love with photo and video through LEGO stop-motion animation as a child. That early passion taught him the value of patience, detail, and creativity—skills that laid the foundation for his craft today.

Growing up in Georgia, Dalton always had a camera in hand, capturing moments across every hobby he enjoyed—bass fishing, skateboarding, and stop-motion—often sharing his creations on YouTube. By high school, he was set on a creative career, starting as a video editor and building experience on platforms like Upwork, where he developed a diverse portfolio and reputation for excellence.

As Dalton grew in skill, so did his vision. He expanded into photography, drone videography, and full-scale video production, taking on projects for clients across Buford, GA, Dacula, GA, Suwanee, GA, Winder, GA, Atlanta, GA, Jefferson, GA, and Flowery Branch, GA.

Through every stage of the journey, Dalton’s biggest supporter has been Elisabeth—his high school sweetheart and now business partner. With her own love for photography, Elisabeth officially joined full-time in 2024. The two were married the same year and launched RiverPine Studios, a family-owned photo, video, and drone media company based right here in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

Whether you're in Buford, Dacula, Suwanee, or nearby, RiverPine Studios brings heartfelt storytelling, professional quality, and personal attention to every shoot. From weddings and family portraits to business promos and aerial footage, we’re here to help you tell your story—with heart, light, and clarity.

Let us help you capture the moments that matter—serving North Georgia and the greater Atlanta area with pride.
