Wedding films · Colorado Springs & beyond
The whole day. Not the highlights.
One person moving quietly through your wedding, from the first zipper to the last song. No crew, no lighting rigs, nobody asking you to do it again for the camera.
Your wedding day is loud.
And then it is very quiet.
Then it is over.
You will remember about nine minutes of it. That is not a knock on you, that is just what adrenaline does. My job is to hand the rest of it back.

Why it costs what it costs
The flowers die. The cake gets eaten.
Almost everything you are paying for on your wedding day exists for about twelve hours. The food, the florals, the rentals, the bar. All of it is gone by Sunday.
Two things outlive the day. Photos, and the film. Photos give you the frame. The film gives you the sound of your dad’s voice cracking halfway through his toast, and the exact way your person looked at you walking down the aisle, at full speed, in real time.
Couples tell me the same thing about a year later. They stopped opening the photo gallery months ago. They still put the film on.

Who is actually showing up
Me. That is the whole crew.
I have been filming weddings in Colorado Springs since 2020. The rest of my week I edit video full time for a YouTube channel, which is the part most videographers hand off to somebody else. It is also the part that decides whether your film is worth watching twice.
On the day I am one person running at least two cameras, dedicated audio on your officiant and your groom, and a drone when the location and the airspace allow it. I do not bring a second shooter you have never met, I do not set up lights in your ceremony, and I do not stop the day to stage anything.
If you want to know what that actually looks like, it looks like most of your guests not being sure whether the videographer showed up, and then getting a film six weeks later.
- Two cameras at the ceremony minimum, one handheld and one locked off on a tripod
- A third ceremony camera available when you want the extra angle
- Dedicated audio, not the camera mic
- Drone coverage where it is legal to fly
- Full ceremony and full speeches, uncut, alongside your film
What to expect
From the first email to the film landing
- 01
You send me your date
Takes about a minute. I reply with availability and a straight answer on price, no gated PDF and no sales call required first.
- 02
We actually talk
Video call or coffee, whichever you prefer. I want to know what you are worried about and which people matter most, because that is what I point the camera at.
- 03
Contract and deposit
Simple contract, deposit holds the date. After that the date is yours and I stop taking inquiries for it.
- 04
Timeline and vendors
About a month out we build the video timeline together, and I reach out to your photographer and planner so nobody is elbowing anybody on the day.
- 05
The day
I show up early, mic the right people, and then mostly disappear. You will forget I am there, which is the entire point.
- 06
Teaser, then the film
A short teaser lands first so you have something to share while it is fresh. The full film follows, along with the uncut ceremony and speeches.

Add-ons
Bolt anything onto either package
Drone coverage
Aerials of the venue and the mountains behind it, flown where the airspace allows.
Extra hours
For sparkler exits, late send-offs, or a getting-ready start earlier than the package covers.
Rehearsal dinner
The toasts nobody plans for are usually the funniest thing all weekend.
Engagement film
A short film of the two of you before the wedding, woven into the wedding film.
Second videographer
A second person for large ceremonies, or when the two of you are getting ready far apart. $200 an hour.
Travel outside Colorado
I have filmed in California twice. If your day is somewhere else, ask.
Raw footage
Everything I shot, unedited, delivered on a drive.
Vertical cutdowns
Sized for Instagram and TikTok, so you are not cropping a widescreen film on your phone.
Add-on pricing lives on the pricing page so there is only ever one set of numbers to trust.
Venues
Places I have already filmed
If your venue is on this list I already know where the light goes, where the power is, and which corner the ceremony actually happens in.

Photographers
People I like sharing an aisle with
Video and photo either work as a team all day or spend it stepping on each other. These are people I have shot alongside and would happily do it again with. Still looking for yours? Ask and I will make an introduction.

Questions
The ones I actually get asked
How far out should we book?
Most couples book nine to fourteen months ahead. Peak Saturdays from June through October go first. If your date is closer than that, still ask, because I sometimes have gaps and I would rather film your wedding than protect a hypothetical one.
Will you and our photographer get along?
Yes, and I reach out to them before the day so we have a plan. Photo and video want the same three seconds constantly, and the difference between a good day and a stressful one is whether the two of us talked beforehand. If you have not booked a photographer yet, I am happy to send you a few names.
Do you fly a drone?
I do, where it is legal. Some venues sit in restricted airspace, some have their own no-fly rules, and weather kills it maybe one day in ten. I will tell you honestly whether your venue works for it rather than promising aerials I cannot deliver.
How long until we get the film?
Usually four to eight weeks, with a short teaser landing well before that. If you need it faster for a specific reason, tell me up front and I will tell you whether I can do it.
Do we get the full ceremony or just the edited film?
Both. The feature film is the thing you will rewatch, but you also get your ceremony uncut, and on the full day package your speeches uncut too. Those are the ones grandparents watch.
What if it rains, or the timeline falls apart?
It usually does one or the other, and it has never ruined a film yet. Colorado weather moves fast and wedding timelines slip. I plan for both and I do not need the day to run on schedule to get what I need.
Do you travel?
Yes. I have filmed weddings in California and I go anywhere in Colorado. Travel outside the Front Range gets quoted as an add-on so you can see exactly what it costs.
What if a camera fails during the ceremony?
There are always at least two cameras rolling through your ceremony, one handheld and one locked off on a tripod. A third is available if you want another angle. That means no single camera failing can cost you the vows, which is the one moment there is no second take of.
Next step
Tell me your date
Even if it is two years out, or you have not picked a venue, or you are still arguing about whether video is worth it. I will give you a straight answer either way.
