How We Document Weddings
The videos that our clients rave about
The Highlight Film
Your wedding day deserves more than just a video—it deserves a cinematic story. Our Highlight Films capture the most unforgettable moments of your celebration, weaving them into a beautifully edited film that feels like a movie trailer. Whether you're exchanging vows in California on the coastline of Big Sur or beneath the towering Wisconsin pines of Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest— This film will document all of the best parts of your experience. Your Highlight Film will be centered around what you love most and set to a genre of music of your choice.
The Guest Interview Film
Imagine if your wedding had its own episode of “The Office” or “Parks and Rec”, but starring your favorite people. That’s exactly what our Guest Interview Films deliver! We pull aside your family, wedding party, and closest friends for candid, hilarious, and heartfelt interviews about you and your love story. Yes, the best man might roast the groom or your maid of honor might spill the behind-the-scenes tea, but that’s part of the fun. Your grandparents will probably share the sweetest marriage advice, and your cousins will probably tell stories of what you were like as a kid. All of this will be captured in a documentary-style film that feels personal and downright unforgettable.
These films are perfect for couples who want more than just beautiful visuals—they want the real, unscripted emotions that make their day unique. Like a time capsule of the people who mean the most to you, our Guest Interview Films add a whole new level of personality to your wedding memories.
To create this video, we will set up a station where your guests can share memories, advice, funny stories, or answer any questions you want for us to ask them. This 30 - 45 minute film will make you laugh, and it may also bring you to tears. Years after the wedding day, when you need to hear the voice of a friend or family member, all you have to do is rewatch this.
The Ceremony Film
Your wedding ceremony is the heart of your day. It’s the moment when everything becomes official. Our Ceremony Films ensure every word, tear, and smile is beautifully preserved with crystal-clear audio and multiple camera angles. Because you should be able to relive your wedding ceremony exactly as it happened.
We use professional microphones to record your vows, officiant, and even those quiet, emotional reactions. We also use 3 or 4 strategically placed cameras to capture the most important angles: the walk down the aisle, each of your faces as you exchange vows, a wide-angle of the event, and your exit as a newly married couple after your first kiss. Maybe it will be in a vineyard in southwest Michigan. Or maybe it will be a nature-filled wedding ceremony in Yellowstone National Park. Whatever the setting ends up being, we’ll make sure those moments are documented in the best way possible.
Let’s be clear: This isn’t just a simple recording. It’s a cinematic experience that lets you hear and see your ceremony from every perspective. You will rewatch this over and over years down the road, and hopefully you can pass it on to children and grandchildren too.
**Most films are 15 - 30 minutes, but we also include the option to extend the length if you have a longer ceremony or if you want to include your first look.
The Reception Film
Your reception is where the real party happens! There’s laughter, epic dance moves, sentimental toasts, and even unexpected moments that make the night unforgettable. We don’t just film your reception; we document the experience. The roar of laughter during your best man’s speech. The emotional hug from your dad before the father-daughter dance. The way your friends go absolutely wild when Mr. Brightside comes on. Our Reception Films preserve the best parts of the party. And even if your party is going to be a super chill gathering of friends under twinkling string lights in the backyard of your house in Northern Indiana, this film is worth having!
**You can choose the events from your day to be captured "as is" and weaved into a film 30 - 45 minutes long. You’ll laugh, cry, and relive the magic over and over.

KIND WORDS
“Carly did the videography for our wedding and she was by far one of our absolute favorite vendors to work with. We love our wedding video so, so much and all the sneak peaks she shared along the way!! She goes above and beyond and that's truly what makes her so wonderful. She is so so so so so sweet and invested in making your dreams come to life. When I first reached out to her, we set up a FaceTime call and talked for over an hour! In the months leading up to our wedding, we had several calls, she helped with our day-of timeline, and she often provided tips and advice even for other parts of our wedding, which was so appreciated - whenever I had random wedding questions even unrelated to videography I could go to her. I know everyone who works in the wedding industry is very busy, but Carly was so responsive and attentive at getting back to us via emails, texts, etc. It's very obvious she is passionate about her work and she's dedicated to each of her clients she works with. I truly can't say enough good things about Carly... I could go on and on. I'm so grateful our paths crossed.”
