Hey Carrie Anne & Andrew!
Let’s Talk
Videography!
Hi Carrie Anne,
Thank you again for taking the time to chat with me. I really enjoyed hearing your heart for your wedding day, your faith, and the way you want the whole day to feel for you, Andrew, and your guests.
What stood out most was how important the ceremony is to you. You want to be able to hear every word again, the vows you speak to one another, the message from your officiant, and the moments that might blur together in the emotions of the day. You also talked about how meaningful it would be to see the parts you will not see in real time, your parents and grandparents walking in, your bridal party coming down the aisle, and what the day looks like from the perspective of a guest.
I loved hearing how you want to incorporate the Lord into your day and how you see this film as something to share with your future kids, your friends who love you, and even new people you meet later in life. I could hear how much you value relationships, not just with your guests, but also with the people serving you on the day, and how you want your videographer to feel more like a supportive friend who knows your story.
Taking all of that into account, I built three custom options that keep your budget of three to four thousand in mind, with a focus closer to three, while still giving you the ceremony focus, guest perspective, and keepsake films you talked about. Each one is designed to feel simple, clear, and easy to use in ten, twenty, or thirty years when you sit down to relive the day.
Warmly,
Josh Hilll
What You Can Expect with Josh Hill Films
The day flies by. We make sure it lasts forever.
When you invite me into your wedding day, you’re not hiring someone to show up and press record. You’re choosing a storyteller. A calm presence. Someone who knows when to step in, when to step back, and how to capture the in-between moments—the squeeze of a hand, the tear you tried to hide, the way your person looked at you when you weren’t looking.
My approach is intentional, relational, and rooted in trust. I take time to understand your story so I can film it in a way that feels honest—not overdone, not underwhelming—just real, emotional, and timeless.
From the first call to the final delivery, you can expect an experience that’s…
✦ Personal
I don’t use a one-size-fits-all formula. I tailor how I film to fit you—your priorities, your personalities, your pace. That way, your film feels like a reflection of your story, not just a recap of your day.
✦ Professional
I bring experience, preparation, and intention to every wedding. You can count on clear communication, prompt responses, and a thoughtful process that keeps things easy and enjoyable from start to finish.
✦ Present
You won’t find me shouting directions or over-directing your day. I know when to give gentle guidance and when to let the moment unfold naturally—because the best moments aren’t staged, they’re lived.
I’m not just here to deliver a highlight reel. I’m here to preserve what it felt like.
Because your wedding day will go by in a blur—but the right film lets you go back and live it all again.
The Story Behind Josh Hill Films
For me, this all started with a simple idea:
I need pictures so the memory lasts longer.
At first, it was just snapping photos on my phone—nothing fancy, just moments I didn’t want to forget. A funny expression. A quiet walk. A feeling I wanted to hold onto. Eventually, I picked up a real camera, and something clicked. I realized I didn’t just want to save memories for myself—I wanted to help other people hold onto theirs, too.
That’s how Josh Hill Films began.
Now, years later, I’m still driven by that same intention. But the meaning has only deepened—especially after becoming a dad to my daughter, Hazel. She’s shown me that the most precious moments aren’t always the perfectly posed ones. It’s the chaos. The calm. The ordinary things that turn out to be everything.
And right now? I’m also in the thick of planning my own wedding.
That experience has shaped how I show up for my couples more than anything else. I know how much time, thought, and emotion you’re pouring into this day. I know what it’s like to want everything to be meaningful, personal, and right—without getting overwhelmed by all the moving parts.
So I built Josh Hill Films around what I’d want for myself:
Clear communication. A calm, supportive presence. And a film that brings the day back to life—not just how it looked, but how it felt.
Because this isn’t just about one day. It’s about creating a legacy of love and memory you’ll carry for the rest of your life.

What Makes Us Different
You mentioned that you want someone who feels more like a friend than a vendor. Someone who understands your story, honors your faith, and captures the day in a way that helps you remember what it felt like, not just what it looked like.
Here is how my approach supports that.
1. Relationship First
Before the wedding, I take time to learn your story, your personalities, and what moments matter most. This helps the film feel personal and familiar rather than generic or trend focused.
2. Ceremony Centered Storytelling
You shared that the ceremony is the heart of the day for you. I record vows, officiant audio, and guest reactions with clear sound so you can step back into the moment years from now. Many videographers focus more on style than substance. I focus on the words and emotions that make your day meaningful.
3. Guest Perspective You Will Not See Yourself
You talked about wanting to see your parents, grandparents, wedding party, and guests through a lens you cannot experience in real time. I prioritize filming from their point of view so your film shows the full story, not just the couple.
4. Presence Over Posing
My team works quietly and respectfully. We want you to enjoy your day without feeling staged. This is especially helpful since you want to spend time with your guests after the ceremony instead of being pulled away for content.
5. Films Designed to Outlast Trends
Your highlight film is created for long term meaning. Ten, twenty, thirty years from now, it will still feel true to you. The pacing, music, and storytelling are built around emotion and clarity, not social media trends.
6. A Comfort Focused Approach
You shared that comfort and connection matter deeply to you. My job is to support that through a calm presence, gentle direction, and filming in a way that helps you feel like yourself so you can be present with your people.
