A lively team full of passion for their craft

At Wilderlicht, we’re a dedicated team of creatives with a passion for storytelling. Founded by Casper Rila, we’re photographers at our core, with expertise in video production, bringing together the best of both to create high-quality, impactful work.

We’re a small, driven team that takes pride in every project we take on. Whether working in-house or collaborating with our trusted freelancers, we approach each challenge with professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to bringing our clients' visions to life.

We blend creativity with expertise. We’re kind, supportive, and always focused on delivering the best possible results. It’s this combination that defines the work we do, and we’re always excited to see where our next collaboration will take us.
