WEDDING FILMS
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I filmed my first wedding in 2011 and have since filmed more than two dozen more. I specialize in a filmic, cinematic style that feels like a documentary movie. I get very close to the action and emotion. I use camera movement to add depth and all the clips tell a creative story. There won't be any wasted space or long, boring clips. This won't be like your friend's smartphone video or your classic camcorder home video. The film will be well-paced a take a classic story arc. I take my time, I plan my shots, and I only use the best clips.
I want to tell your story in a beautiful artistic montage set to beautiful music and your captured dialogue (vows, officiant, first look, etc).
If that is what you're looking for, then you've come to the right place!
THE DETAILS
I can produce any kind of film you'd like! I have some built-in packages, but if you're looking for something a little different, don't hesitate to ask. I am more than willing to change what I do to accommodate your desires. I am also more than willing to work with your budget to find the best solution for you. Typically, I produce highlight-reel and mini-documentary style wedding films. I have little microphones that I like to hide on the bride, groom, and officiant in order to capture the best audio quality. I also like to stick with the bride & groom as much as possible throughout the day so I can get the most footage with them as possible.
Because wedding filmmaking is not my full-time job, it will most likely take me 3-4 months to edit everything together after the wedding day. I always deliver a "teaser" trailer on social media within a few weeks to help with the waiting process.
THE PROCESS
I love to meet my clients in person before the big day, whether that is locally in Redding or over FaceTime. I like to get to know you and get a sense for your story together so I can know how to capture it on the wedding day. Wedding days fly by FAST, so I like to do most of my thinking and question-asking before the day begins.
Please check out my portfolio below. This will give you a great idea of the kind of filmmaker I am. It will also give you an opportunity to request a different style or look which, of course, I am more than willing to do.
THE GEAR
For those interested, I shoot primarily with a 4k Mirrorless DSLR camera with various tripods and stabilizers. I also have lavalier and shotgun microphone systems that I use to capture professional audio. If the project demands higher-quality gear, I rent it.
I edit using Adobe Premiere CC, After Effects CC, and Audition.
CONTACT
I would love to connect over the phone or at a coffee shop (if you're in Redding, CA). I would love to chat more about my services, filmmaking, and help you find the right package or service that's right for you, even if I refer you to someone else!
