Hey Taylor & David!
Let’s Talk
Wedding!
Hi Taylor & David,
Thank you again for taking the time to share your story with me — it’s one of those love stories that genuinely feels meant to be. From meeting on New Year’s Eve to the cross-country journey that brought you together, it’s so clear how intentional this next chapter is for you both.
That same intentionality is woven into the wedding you’re planning: simple, meaningful, and full of the people and moments that matter most.
With that in mind, I’ve created this proposal to reflect what you’ve shared — a day that doesn’t need to be overdone to be unforgettable. A film and/or photo collection that captures the real, heartfelt connection between you two, along with the quieter, in-between moments of joy, faith, and love that make your story what it is.
The first look and private vows. The emotion of walking into that beautiful sanctuary. The warmth of gathering for a dinner party surrounded by people who have supported your story from the beginning.
This isn’t just about documenting a wedding day — it’s about preserving the legacy of a relationship that’s already overcome distance, change, and growth to arrive right here.
Take a look, and we’ll walk through everything together on Monday. I’m honored to be considered to help tell your story.
With care,
Josh
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 Happens Next
You’ve got options, and I want to help you choose what feels right.
We’ll hop on a quick call where I’ll walk you through each collection, explain why I’m recommending them based on your day, and answer any questions you have. No pressure—just real talk to make sure everything fits your vibe and vision.
Once you’re ready, I’ll send over a booking link with your contract and invoice. A $1,000 retainer officially secures your date—and from there, we’re off to the races.
Here’s how it all goes down:
We chat through the collections and customize if needed
I send the contract + booking link
You sign and place your $1,000 retainer
Your date is officially locked in 🎉
We celebrate (and maybe pop some bubbly 🍾)
Whether you choose Josh Hill Films or someone else, I want you to have a film that brings you back to what mattered most on your day—how it felt to hold each other close, to laugh with your people, and to celebrate something that’s truly once in a lifetime.
But if this proposal feels aligned—if you’ve read through and thought “this is us”—then I’d be honored to tell your story.
I’m here for all your questions, ideas, or even if you just want to talk through what matters most to you. This process should feel personal, exciting, and easy—and that’s exactly what I aim to give you.
Can’t wait to connect and start dreaming this thing up with you.
