Built on the same documentary approach as my photography work — candid, honest, out of the way. More about how I shoot.
Cinematic highlight film (built from candid moments + audio from the day)
Clear, natural audio (vows, toasts, cheers)
Color that matches the day (no over‑processing)
Easy delivery (streaming + download link)
Add‑ons: full‑length ceremony, intros, first dance, parent dances, toasts, and short-form social clips
Mark handled both photo and video for our wedding and made it feel effortless. The photos are incredible, just like what you see on his website, and the video brings the whole day back in the best way.
Most wedding days follow the same arc: getting ready, ceremony, portraits, reception. I cover all of it, mostly invisible, with clean audio you can actually hear.
Getting ready. I arrive about 90 minutes before the ceremony. Wide shots of the room, close-ups of details, the small moments between you and your people before the day moves fast.
Ceremony. One camera locked on you, one moving. Discreet lav mics on the officiant and the partner standing first, plus a feed from the PA when the venue allows. Every word of your vows in your own voice.
Portraits. Twenty minutes, max. I shoot fast so you get back to your guests. Mostly candid, a few intentional frames mixed in.
Reception. I stay until the dance floor is packed and the band is sweating. Toasts, first dances, the room full of laughter. The film I edit later is built from the audio that actually mattered.
A wedding film should feel like the day you actually had, not a music video built around it.
Real audio over a song you didn’t choose. I capture your vows, the toast that made your grandmother cry, the first notes of your first dance. Music sits behind the moments, not over them.
Candid over posed. The frames I keep are usually the ones you didn’t know I was taking. A look between you. Your dad’s hand on your shoulder. The flower girl falling asleep on the lawn.
Color that ages well. Warm, true-to-life, never trendy. The film you watch ten years from now should still look like your day — not the year you got married.
Short enough to actually watch. The highlight is 3 to 5 minutes. Add the full ceremony and reception as bonus chapters if you want everything — but the highlight is the part you’ll share and rewatch.
Based in Sarasota, I film weddings across Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and the wider Gulf Coast. From beach ceremonies and garden weddings to ballroom receptions and intimate backyard celebrations — I travel light and work quietly, so the day feels like yours, not a production.
Reach out and I’ll send over availability and a pricing guide within 24 hours. Most couples book 12–18 months out, but if your date is sooner, reach out anyway — I sometimes have last-minute openings.
No pressure, no hard sell. Just a conversation about your day.
Yes — hybrid coverage means one team, one timeline, and a consistent look across everything. No coordinating between separate vendors.
A 3–5 minute story edit with natural audio captured throughout the day — vows, toasts, laughter, the moments that mattered.
Yes — single-camera, steady coverage with clean audio delivered as easy chapters you can actually sit and watch.
Discreet lav mics and recorders, plus a feed from your DJ or PA board when the venue allows it. You won’t see any of it.
No. Same documentary approach as the photography — I stay out of the way and capture what’s actually happening.
Yes — video-only bookings are available depending on date and logistics.
Streamable and downloadable in HD. 4K is available on request for select options.
As early as possible. Prime dates go quickly — check the pricing page for availability and next steps.
Many do. I’ll coordinate with your venue in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
If you want one person, one style, and no vendor juggling — yes. It works for most wedding day timelines and keeps things simple.
Sarasota wedding films range from $2,500 to $6,000 depending on coverage hours, deliverables, and whether you bundle photo and video. See current packages on the pricing page.
Hybrid means one person handles both photo and video, so you get a consistent visual story, one timeline, no coordination between teams, and a lighter footprint on your day. Two vendors give you more cameras but more overhead and the risk of styles that don’t match.
Photos freeze moments. Video keeps motion and sound — your vows in your own voice, your dad’s toast, the room when the dance floor opens. Most couples who add video say it’s the thing they revisit most. If you want to relive the day in real time, video is worth it.
A wedding video is documentary footage of the day in mostly chronological order. A wedding film is an edited story — 3 to 5 minutes of the best moments cut to natural audio. I deliver both: a highlight film, plus optional full ceremony and reception coverage.
