Wedding films that feel like you
Hi Lucy and Braden
It was so good talking with you. I got off that call already picturing your day, an outdoor night at Shiloh Gardens on June 18th, which does not always happen the first time around.
What stuck with me is that you are not looking for a production. You want it to feel natural and out of the way, sweet and intimate, so that when you watch it back you get to see the little moments you missed while you were somewhere else getting photos taken. Family and friends, not a montage.
You also said this is probably the last time both sides of your families will all be in one room, and that some of them are older. That is the part I build around.
Here is the thing about a wedding film. Most couples watch a highlight reel a handful of times in the first month and then never again, because a highlight reel is a music video of your day, not your day. What holds up years later is the sound. Your vows in your own voice. The crack in your dad toast. The song that emptied every chair at the reception. That is why every collection below includes a full length film and not just the three minute version.
The ceremony gets filmed in full, start to finish. Those beats come in a set order and they do not wait for a camera to get into position, so I stay ahead of them instead of chasing them.
And then there is how the day feels while it is happening. You should not feel watched. Most of the time you will forget we are there. When you do need direction I will give it to you gently, and you will look like yourselves, not like people being posed.
Below you will find three collections. Take a look whenever you are ready.
What I Am Actually Building For You
Something You Rewatch
The bar is not a film that looks good the week it lands. It is a film you still put on years from now. That means real audio, real moments, and an edit that does not perform the day at you. It just catches it and gets out of the way.
A Day You Get To Live
You should get to the end of the night having actually been at your own wedding instead of running it. I stay ahead of the moments so you never have to manage them, and when you need direction I give it quietly and get out of the way again.
The Whole Thing, Not A Montage
The full ceremony. Every toast. Every song. Every moment that made someone laugh or cry. That is what the full length film is for. True to color, edited to last, built around the moments you tell me matter most. The kind of thing you hand down.

“When my husband and I started wedding planning, we decided that our first priority was photography and videography and that it would be our biggest investment for the wedding. It was all worth it. Pictures and videos is all you get after any special event for your memories, so please make sure you invest in this and I swear you will never regret it.”
Karoline Sloane · Google reviewWhat Is A Home Video Edit?
The Home Video Edit is all of it. Not a highlight reel, and not a trimmed down version of the day, but every bit of footage we shot, put in order and handed to you.
The ceremony in full. Every toast. The long stretches in between that most films leave on the cutting room floor, because those are the parts with your family in them, talking to each other instead of performing for a camera. It is the closest thing there is to walking back into your wedding day and looking around.
About The Story Session
Think of it as a video engagement session. We meet up before the wedding, just the two of you and the camera, and we spend an hour together. Part of it is practical. By the time your wedding day comes around, being filmed already feels normal, so nothing about the day feels like a production.
The bigger part is the story. How you met, what nearly did not happen, where the two of you ended up. That backstory adds something to the wedding film that no highlight reel can manufacture. It gives everyone watching a real sense of who you are before the ceremony even starts.
Video Guest Book
An interactive video station where your guests can leave personal messages, well wishes, and memories throughout the night.
These clips are curated and delivered as a keepsake film you can revisit for years, capturing voices, laughter, and moments that would otherwise be lost.
Personalized Add-Ons
Additional Hour of Coverage
Wedding days run long, and the last hour is usually the loosest one. An extra hour means we are never watching the clock while the moments that matter are still happening.
Additional Videographer
One more camera beyond what your collection includes. When the day stops happening in one place, this is how we cover both. While one camera is on your faces during a toast, someone needs to be on the room reacting to it.
Video Guest Book
Already included in The Directors Cut and The Feature Film, so this is for The Home Video. With a full room, most of what your guests want to say to you will get lost in the noise. This is how you keep it, in their words, in the moment.
“Josh stayed the whole day into the night and seamlessly blended in with everyone. He contributed to a fun night with his energy, and overall was my go to person for the day.”

The Person Behind The Camera
I have spent 5 years walking alongside couples during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives, so I understand how personal these decisions feel. My role is to listen closely, guide you with clarity, and make sure nothing about this process feels rushed or transactional. I lead our team with care and intention so your experience feels calm, supported, and aligned from the first conversation to the final film.
What Makes Us Different
Natural Direction
Most teams either over direct or disappear completely.I create a balance of guidance and freedom so you feel comfortable, confident, and still fully yourselves.
Detail Awareness
Most couples do not realize how much small details affect the final result.I actively watch for things like positioning, lighting, and small distractions so your photos and film feel polished without extra effort from you.
One Unified Team
Most couples hire separate photo and video teams.We operate as one unit, so communication is seamless and everything works together instead of competing for attention.
Film Over Highlight
Most wedding videos feel like a montage set to music.I build films around real moments and audio, so your story feels authentic and not just aesthetic.
In Their Own Words
What Happens Next
We Talk It Through
We hop on a quick call where I walk you through each collection, explain why I am recommending them based on your day, and answer any questions you have. We customize if you need it.
I Send The Paperwork
Once you are ready, I send over a booking link with your contract and invoice. Everything in one place, nothing to chase down.
You Sign And Place The Retainer
A $1,000 retainer officially secures your date. It comes off your total, so it is not an extra cost. If you would rather pay the balance in full instead of splitting it up, that takes 10 percent off your collection.
Your Date Is Locked In
That day is yours. From there we start planning the parts that make it feel like you.
We Celebrate
And maybe pop some bubbly. Then we are off to the races.
Some Recent Films
Start to finish, the way yours would be. Abigail and Rhett got married at Shiloh Gardens too.
Take Your Time With It
When you are ready, tell me which collection feels closest and we will go from there. If none of them fit exactly, we will build the one that does.
