Windsor, Ontario
Documentary-style wedding films.
Shot candid and cut like a movie, so you don't just remember your day, you feel it again.
The films
Ten weddings, start to finish. Sound on for all of them.
What a photo can't hold
Your photographer will give you the moment. What they can't give you is the sound of it.
A photo can't play back a voice cracking halfway through the vows, or the line in the speech that got the whole room, or the noise of a full dance floor at eleven at night.
That's the part that goes if there's no film. The images you'll have. The sound, the movement and the words are the things a photograph physically cannot keep.
How I work
Nothing staged
Your day happens and I film it as it happens. No posed re-creations, no pulling you back down the aisle for a second take.
Cut like a film
Then it's edited with the pacing, music and craft of a short film, so what you get back plays like something you'd watch.
Sound is the point
Your vows in your own voices. The whole speech, not two seconds someone caught on a phone.
Packages
What changes between them is how long I'm there, whether there are two of us, and how much of the day gets a film of its own.

Where I work
Based in Windsor, and I travel across Ontario.
Fully insured
Proof of insurance available for any venue that asks for it.
What the separate edits are
Your highlight film is the short version of the day. A ceremony, speeches, dances, morning prep, portraits or reception edit is that part cut on its own and delivered in full alongside it, for the times you want to watch the whole thing rather than the best of it.
What a second videographer adds
More coverage and more footage, and the day can start in two places at once, so both of you are filmed getting ready.
Score, not soundtrack
The music sits under the film the way a score does, rather than leading it the way a soundtrack would. What you want to be listening to is the speeches and the sound of your friends and family in the room, not a song that dates the whole film in five years.
Add-ons
Any of these can be added to any package.
What couples said
"When our scheduled videographer had to cancel on us with less than 24 hours till the wedding day, Elliott stepped in and graced us with his calm, cool, collected personality. He truly made the stress of having to organize another vendor so last minute absolutely seamless."

"Looking at our video we are soooo happy. Our parents are over the moon and can't believe how beautiful the final project is. Love how he separates all the 'chapters' of the day, and the full length film is a dream."
