A Backyard wedding

their eyes flashed with tenderness and devotion...

...with my camera in hand, I immersed myself in the intimate setting of an outdoor wedding, ready to capture the magic. In that serene moment, I focused on the bride's radiant smile and the unwavering gaze she shared with her husband-to-be as she was surrounded by family and friends.

Their eyes locked, brimming with tenderness and devotion, as if time stood still. There I stood about 20 feet away, waiting for the bride to look up at her handsome prince. After a few seconds, she looked up and I captured the above image. It was a photograph that encapsulated a love story, a single frame that would always remind me why I love what I do as a 17 year wedding photographer and videographer.

Why the documentary stlye approach?

"Through my 17 year journey and having filmed 100's of weddings, I've come to understand something profoundly moving. Your wedding video, as the years weave their tapestry, transforms into more than just a recording—it becomes a nostalgic time capsule.

Picture this: as the sands of time slip through our fingers, grandparents may gracefully bid farewell, and once tiny flower girls and ring bearers will blossom into the next chapters of their lives. What makes a documentary-style wedding video truly special is its unparalleled ability to encapsulate this one single day in time, not just through visuals but with the melody of heartfelt voices and laughter. While both documentary-style videos and highlight films each have their virtues, there's an emotional depth to the documentary approach. It digs into the soul of your day, soaking in every emotion, embracing each intricate detail. It's not just a video; it's a living, breathing story that lets you step back in time, to relive the magic whenever you want. Hit play, and suddenly you're back in the heart of your "I dos," surrounded by the love and joy that make your story uniquely yours."

ADVANTAGES OF A DOCUMENTARY STYLE WEDDING VIDEO

Authenticity Shines Through
A documentary approach focuses on capturing genuine moments as they unfold. It's not about staging scenes, but rather letting the real emotions, laughter, and tears naturally occur. This authenticity adds a unique and heartfelt touch to your wedding memories. Documentary style wedding videos run much longer.

Emphasis on Candid Moments:
The documentary style prioritizes candid shots, capturing those spontaneous, unscripted moments that often hold the most emotional weight. From stolen glances to shared smiles, these genuine interactions create a more intimate and personal wedding video.

Inclusive Coverage:
Every wedding has numerous facets, from the getting-ready process to the ceremony, speeches, and dancing. A documentary approach ensures comprehensive coverage of these elements, ensuring no important moment is left unrecorded.

Minimal Intrusion:
Documentary-style videographers aim to blend into the background, allowing you to enjoy your day without feeling overly staged or interrupted. This unobtrusive approach ensures that the true essence of your wedding is captured without interference.

Timeless Appeal:
By avoiding overly stylized trends, documentary-style videos tend to have a timeless quality. You won't be confined to a specific era's aesthetic, allowing your wedding video to remain relevant and cherished for years to come.

 

Embracing Authenticity and Connection

With nearly two decades of experience as a Youngstown wedding videographer and photographer, I want to emphasize that I'm not just another professional trying to make a sale. I genuinely value real connections over using aggressive sales tactics. My approach is all about being authentic and transparent, with your needs and vision as my top priorities.

Youngstown wedding video love story

"Having a wedding videographer was the best decision I made for my wedding day. I always dreamed of remembering every moment, every detail, every emotion. And on my wedding day, I felt like a princess walking down the aisle towards my fiancé, surrounded by our loved ones.

The ceremony was beautiful, but it was the reception that really made me grateful for my videographer. Dancing with my husband and our friends, laughing, enjoying the ambiance we had created - I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. And I didn't want the night to end.

After the wedding, my husband and I settled into our new life together, but we never forgot about our special day. Every anniversary, we watch our wedding video and relive the magic of that perfect night. We laugh at the silly moments, cry at the emotional ones, and smile at the memories we had created.

Having a wedding videographer was an investment that was totally worth it. I recommend every bride-to-be to hire one, and promise them that it will be a decision they won't regret."
