When most people think of wedding video, they picture a camcorder on a tripod in the back of the church. You know — the full ceremony, raw footage, shaky zooms, tinny audio… maybe your uncle standing in front of the camera halfway through.
But let me stop you right there. That’s not what I do.
I don’t create wedding videos. I create wedding films. And yes — there’s a difference. A big one.
Wedding Video = Footage
This is your traditional documentation. It’s typically shot straight through, not heavily edited, and usually covers one main angle of the ceremony, speeches, and maybe a bit of the reception. Think of it as a visual record.
And listen — there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s functional. But that’s not where the magic lives. It’s simply documenting the day, not reliving it or immersing in it.
Wedding Film = Story
Look, I know it sounds so cliche and corny, I promise you, a wedding film isn’t.
A wedding film is an experience. A cinematic retelling of your day that blends together:
– Meaningful audio (vows, toasts, ambient sounds)
– Visual storytelling (details, emotions, transitions)
– Music that feels like you
– Seamless editing with flow, pacing, and emotion
It’s not just a recap — it’s a crafted, intentional, emotional journey.
When I create a wedding film, I’m not just hitting “record.” I’m thinking about what your love story feels like. I’m listening for laughs in the toasts, watching for tears during the vows, and catching that little forehead kiss you gave without even realizing it.
My Style: Emotional. Wild. Real.
I blend two styles:
– Cinematic: The slow, sweeping, feels-like-a-movie moments
– Documentary: The raw, authentic pieces of your real day
You’ll see perfectly timed clips to music. But you’ll also hear your dad choking up halfway through his toast. You’ll see the wind catch your dress, your friends doubling over with laughter, and that moment you looked at each other like, “Holy shit! We’re actually married.”
Music Matters
I don’t slap trendy audio on top and call it good. Music sets the *tone* of your film — and I choose it based on the emotion, rhythm, and style of your day. Sometimes it’s indie folk. Sometimes it’s cinematic orchestral. Sometimes it’s moody, sometimes it’s joyful.
I license every track to ensure it’s unique and won’t get removed from your video platforms years later. (Because let’s be honest — you’re going to want to watch this film again and again. And again.)
Real Couples, Real Words
I’ve had couples reach out years after their wedding to tell me they still watch their film multiple times a year. That they barely look at their photos anymore. That the film is what brings them back — to the environment, the energy, the atmosphere of the day.
“It brings back everything I felt that day. The sounds, the words, the energy — it’s all there.”
“We cry every time we watch it. It’s like we’re right back in that moment again.”
“We watch our film every anniversary and now that we have kids, they get to watch it too! We cry every time!”
That’s what makes a wedding film timeless. It’s not just the footage. It’s the story. Your love story. Your wedding film.
So Which One Should You Choose?
A wedding video shows what happened.
A wedding film reminds you how it felt.
You can’t hear your vows in a photo. You can’t relive the way your partner teared up when you walked down the aisle through a text. But you can watch it unfold in a film — over and over, for the rest of your life.
Final Thoughts
I’m not just here to document a day. I’m here to tell a story — your story.
One filled with movement, meaning, laughter, and love. So when the cake is gone, the dress is packed away, and the guests have flown home… your story still lives on.
If you’re dreaming of something more than a recap — if you want something that feels like you — let’s talk.
Because I don’t just make wedding films. I make time machines. For Big Love under the Big Sky!
