An heirloom filmmaker that captures the feeling, not just the day.
I notice things most people don't think to look at twice. Two groomsmen shooting the sh*t while they wait to get their photos taken. Mom helping dad with his boutonniere after it got crooked. That one bee that will not leave the maid of honor or her bouquet alone.
I've filmed over 150 weddings, and every one of them has taught me the same thing: the parts nobody plans for are what they want to look back on the most.
You won't catch some of those moments while they're happening. You're a little busy that day. But when you watch your film back, would you rather see that, chaos and all, or you and your spouse doing the same pose every other couple's video has?
I'm not building a reel for my own portfolio when I'm filming your wedding. Every choice I make that day, where I stand, what I follow, is about capturing your story as it happened, not how I'd frame it.
This film is yours, not mine.
I'm not going to pull you aside for a reaction shot or ask you to do that laugh again for the camera. There's no reenacting, no "can we get that one more time." What's in your film is what actually happened, exactly how it happened.
You won't perform.
You'll be present.
Your wedding day is going to go a little sideways somewhere. A bridesmaid's makeup takes longer than planned, so it's time for another mimosa. Grandpa gets sent to the wrong spot for family photos, so the groom gets to chill with his dad while they wait for him to walk over. None of that ruins the day, and none of it should get edited out of the film either.
Real over perfect.
my philosophy
“Nathaniel was so helpful in all aspects of our perfect day. He was much more than a videographer for us and went the extra mile for us on our wedding day and even before. He’s a super great dude, made us feel so comfortable and like he wasn’t even there, so he truly was able to capture such an authentic representation of our lives.” - Kristi & Colton
Every wedding is different.
Your film will be too.
I'm not showing up with a shot list for flat lays. I won’t treat your wedding like I’m “going to work”. I will film your day with the same intentionality and care I would want someone to film mine.
I pay attention to the two of you specifically. The way you actually stand next to each other. The joke only your people would get. What makes your day yours, not just another wedding.
When you watch it back, the goal isn't for it to look impressive. It's for you to watch it and go, "yeah, that's us."
