Madilyn & Noah
Wedding photo and film that feel like you
Hi Madilyn and Noah
It was so good talking with you both. An Instagram DM on a Saturday at 11 o'clock, a proposal on the dock at Indian Springs with Emily hiding to catch it, and now a wedding at a place that already feels like home. For the record, I met my wife in her DMs too, so I might be a little biased toward this story.
Here is what I heard matters most to you:
- A quiet start to the day, maybe coffee and private vows with just the two of you
- A ceremony with a gospel message and communion that feels meaningful without feeling stiff
- The party afterward, all of your people in one place and nothing too serious
- Madilyn's parents, her bridal party, and Noah's big family, from his two older sisters to his college groomsmen
- A film that tells your story, not just a montage of the day
The reason I do photo and video as one team is simple. When you hire them separately, two vendors end up standing in the same spot wanting the same moment, and one of them loses. Here nobody is competing. We plan the day together, we cover it together, and you deal with one person instead of two.
What I am watching for all day is the in between. Your parents watching their only daughter get married, Madilyn. Noah's sisters seeing their baby brother all grown up. Your bridal party and his groomsmen, the mutual friends who have been part of your story for years, finally all in one room. Those happen once and they do not wait for a camera to get into position, so I stay ahead of the day instead of chasing it.
The other half of the job is how the day feels while it is happening. You said you are both pretty informal people and you do not want anything to feel super serious. That is exactly how I like to work. You should not feel managed, and 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. My goal is that you get to the end of the night having actually been at your own wedding instead of running it.
Below you will find three collections. The Home Video is the bare bones option we talked about, and I added real examples of the Big Moments Films next to the Full Wedding Day Film so you can see exactly what the upgrade looks like. Our film from Brooklyn and Caleb's Chapman Hill wedding is right below this note. Feel free to share this with your parents, and we can walk through it together on our call Monday at 5.

What I Am Actually Building For You
Something You Rewatch
The bar is not work that looks good the week it lands. It is a gallery and a film you still put on years from now. 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
One team means one plan and one point of contact. 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. That is what the full length film is for, and the gallery works the same way. True to color, edited to last, built around the moments you tell me matter most. The kind of thing you hand down.
Three Collections
Every collection includes your big moments on film, in full
The Directors Cut
Pick this one if you want the whole day covered, from getting ready with your people through the last song, with an extra set of hands on the team so the two of you never have to think about the details.
- A team of four: 2 photographers, 1 videographer, and a production assistant
- Second photographer for 8 hours
- All edited images, approximately 1,500 photos
- 10 minute highlight film
- Full Wedding Day Film
- Video Guest Book
- Engagement session, weekday or weekend
- Professional audio equipment
The Feature Film
Pick this one if you want a full photo and video team on the heart of the day, the ceremony through the party, with a second photographer so both of your families and wedding parties get covered.
- 2 photographers + 1 videographer
- Second photographer for 6 hours
- All edited images, approximately 1,000 photos
- 7 minute highlight film
- Full Wedding Day Film
- Weekday photo engagement session
- Professional audio equipment
The Home Video
Pick this one if photos are the priority and you want the big moments on film in full, without a highlight film. This is the bare bones option we talked about.
- 1 photographer + 1 videographer
- 8 hours of photography
- All edited images
- The Big Moments Films: your first look or private vows, the full ceremony, special dances, speeches, and cake cutting, each in full
- Weekday photo engagement session
- Professional audio equipment
Why This Fits You
Faith At The Center
You want a gospel message and communion at the heart of your ceremony.We are a faith based team too, so we understand the covenant you are making. I will know when to be close and when to step back, and the ceremony is recorded in full with professional audio so every word of that message is there.
Nothing Too Serious
You said you are both informal people and most excited for the party.That is the part a lot of teams coast through. We stay on it until the end of the night, and your film will feel the way the day did: fun, relaxed, and full of your people.
Your People
Your parents are your lifeline, Madilyn, and Noah is the baby brother of two older sisters.Add a bridal party with friends you have known for over half your life and groomsmen from college, and there are a lot of people who belong in this story. On our planning calls I will learn who is who, so none of them end up in the background.
A Story, Not A Montage
Noah said the films feel like a story, not just a montage of the day.That is exactly how I build them, around real audio and real moments. And if your speeches end up happening the night before, rehearsal dinner coverage can bring those into the story too.
“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 reviewThe Big Moments Films and The Full Wedding Day Film
Both give you every word and every song. The Full Wedding Day Film turns them into one story you can sit down and watch start to finish.
The Big Moments Films
Your first look or private vows, the whole ceremony, the special dances, the speeches, and the cake cutting, each as its own video, in full with real audio.
The videos at the bottom of IsaBelle and Peyton's page, their first looks, ceremony, and reception, are exactly what you would receive with The Home Video, along with all of your photography. Their highlight film at the top of the page is not part of The Home Video.
See Their Big MomentsThe Full Wedding Day Film
The same big moments in full, woven into one continuous film with your portraits and moments from the rest of the day in between, so it plays like the story of your day instead of a set of separate videos.
This is Olivia and Jett's from Koury Farms. Both of these collections also include a highlight film, the trailer of your day: a few minutes set to music.
Your Engagement Session
Every collection includes a weekday engagement session, shot Monday through Thursday. We meet up before the wedding, just the two of you and the camera, and we spend an hour together. By the time your wedding day comes around, being photographed already feels normal, so nothing about the day feels like a production.
It is also the easiest way to get comfortable with us before the big day, so when we show up that morning it feels like seeing friends, not meeting vendors.
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.
Here is Emma and Dylan's from Koury Farms, start to finish.
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 Shooter
One more set of hands on the team. In The Home Video it adds a second photographer. In The Feature Film and The Directors Cut it adds a second videographer, so while one camera is on your faces during a toast, another is on the room reacting to it.
Video Guest Book
Already included in The Directors Cut, so this is for The Feature Film or 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.
Rehearsal Dinner Coverage
You mentioned the speeches might happen the night before. Covering your rehearsal dinner means those toasts end up in your film with everything else, and you keep the whole weekend, not just the wedding day.
Prioritized Editing
Your gallery and films move to the front of the line, so you are reliving the day while it is still fresh instead of waiting through the full editing timeline.
“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.
It all started with a simple idea: I need pictures so the memory lasts longer. At first it was just photos on my phone, little moments I did not want to forget. Then I picked up a real camera and realized I did not only want to hold onto my own memories. I wanted to help other people hold onto theirs.
Becoming a dad deepened all of it. The moments that end up mattering most are rarely the posed ones. It is the chaos, the calm, the ordinary things that turn out to be everything.
And in 2026 I got to be on the other side of the camera. My wife and I got married, my team captured our day, and honestly I barely remember it. Watching it back, I kept saying, oh yeah, that happened. That is the whole reason I do this.
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 your collection in full with the retainer, that comes with 10% off.
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.

Take Your Time With It
Whether you choose me or someone else, I want you to end up with photos and a film that bring you right back to what mattered most. How it felt to hold each other close, to laugh with your people, and to celebrate something that only happens once. But if you read through this and thought, this is us, I would be honored to tell your story.
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.
