Hey Dana & Brandon!
Let’s Talk
Wedding!
Dear Dana and Brandon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me! It’s clear you’re planning a wedding that’s full of heart, beauty, and intention—and I’d be honored to be part of capturing it.
Below, you’ll find three tailored options that reflect your desire for a documentary-style highlight film that brings your memories back to life, without unnecessary extras. These options focus on candid moments, emotional storytelling, and a natural feel that lets the joy and meaning of your wedding speak for itself.
Whether it’s Brandon’s mountain-loving heart, your thoughtful approach to planning, or the crisp North Georgia air in November—I can already picture the magic.
Take a look at the options below, and we’ll talk through everything on our Thursday call.
Sincerely,
Josh Hill
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.
