Hello! I’m Joe, Owner, Editor and Cinematographer. I have a total of 7 years experience filming and editing beautiful cinematic wedding films. Doing these types of events require you to be ready for every worst case scenario while staying level headed; after-all you cannot just redo a wedding! It’s so important to hire a professional who will not only capture the raw footage of your big day; but also edit it down to create an emotional movie, frequently set to music, that will truly tell the story of your wedding from start to finish. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry—it’s the closest thing to reliving your wedding day.

All my packages include the following!

Uncut Edit: This is one long video of the entire ceremony, dances toasts ect. Unlike RAW footage this is color corrected and graded. It will have audio from microphones instead of camera audio for clarity. And camera angles will be switching for a much better viewing experience! These can be over an hour in length!

Feature Film: This is like an extended highlight. On average it ranges from 6 to 15 minutes. It has the best parts of the ceremony and reception intertwined with footage of preparation, location, details, 1st looks and more!

I record and edit entire ceremony, toasts and dances with a multi-camera set ups; and deliver it as its own “uncut edit.” Many “videographers” only shoots pieces and edit together a film based on that. Mainly because of the immense file sizes and to prevent cameras from over heating. This works great for a highlight; but at some point in the next few years you’ll want to look back on these longer edits.

My shooting style is non-intrusive. I use the best low light cameras on the market right now; and unlike other “videographers” I shoot everything in 4k! This gives me the ability to re-frame shots in post-production and enables me to get quality screenshots!

I will honor your dedication by making sure the final product is Personal, Memorable & Elegant! You want a video that will capture emotion.

COLOR SCIENCE

Color correction is the process of making sure the color is as accurate as possible; it truly separates the “pros” from the “part-timers.” Color grading is what gives the footage a particular mood and style, and is essential for beautiful cinematic film. Subtle changes can impact the narrative. A good color grade will add uniqueness to your film and push it to the next level!

I shoot in a LOG picture profile in order to preserve highlights and shadows for maximum dynamic range. These LOG profiles enable me to push out desired colors without jeopardizing the quality of the image!

First I “process” the files which give them a much more saturated and contrasted look to make what it looked like in real life. Then I can start a creative “grade” to make the films unique. The grades can vary from hyper realistic to feeling more warm and earthy.

What is right wedding videography style for you?

You should consider choosing a desired style or two to help create a vision for your video. Ideally the style of your video should compliment the style of your wedding. The possibilities are endless. So if you have a neat idea or suggestion do not hesitate to mention it!

Cinematic

As its name implies, cinematic wedding videography styles mimic the angles, transitions and filters of movies. Videographers who use this style, which is often combined with short form or storytelling, are less concerned with a linear timeline and more intent on capturing the overall themes and emotions of your wedding day. Some of the hallmarks of cinematic wedding videos are moving voice overs, aerial shots of your wedding venue, and the use of slow motion.

Short Form

Short form is one of the wedding videography styles that is almost always combined with one of the other four. This style describes a short highlight video that is usually three to five minutes long. Many videography companies offer a highlight video in addition to a full feature video and raw footage of your wedding. Focusing on the three main segments — getting ready, ceremony, and reception — short form videos are shareable bites that you can easily send to friends and family or post to social media for those who didn’t make the guest list.

Storytelling

Storytelling is a popular wedding videography style that often relies on voiceover audio to narrate the story of the couple and the wedding day, but not always. Some videographers use text, music, or some combination to create a wedding video that is more focused on the love story than on aesthetic details or funny moments of the day. Storytelling is often combined with cinematic wedding videography styles as the two often produce a similar result.

Documentary

Much like the relationship between scripted films and documentaries, documentary wedding videos may not feel as polished as cinematic videos. Videographers who work in this medium prefer the unstaged, unplanned real moments of a wedding. This can play out by using audio from personal moments, like the first look, in addition to audio from more formal moments, like ceremony readings or words from the officiant. Documentary is sometimes combined with storytelling.

Traditional

Traditional wedding videos may focus more singularly on the ceremony and the reception, with less of a focus on the behind-the-scenes or wedding details. Some videographers who work in this style are more straightforward with their editing and use fewer of the more cinematic tools, like drones, instead preferring a handheld camera for most or all shots.

I am a wedding videographer for Knoxville Tennessee, Chattanooga Tennessee, Nashville Tennessee, Gatlinburg Tennessee, Pigeon Forge, and surrounding areas! Including parts of Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama & Georgia.
