“Tyler flew out to shoot our wedding in SLC. I could sit here and tell you all the normal stuff, like how friendly he is, or how proactive he is, or how he makes everyone (even somehow miraculously my wife's grandma) feel comfortable on camera, or how his style is cinematic but still keeps the bright, happy, fun vibe of the day, or how my wife still raves out our wedding video as one of her favorite keepsakes from the wedding. I could tell you all of those things, and they are true, but that should all be obvious from his portfolio and his other reviews. Instead, I'll tell you a quick story that shows you who he actually is. On the way to our reception we ended up getting a flat tire (someone other than Tyler was driving, for the record). I was in my suit and my wife was in her dress and so neither of us were exactly thrilled about the idea of crawling around in the gutter on our wedding day. Without a second thought, Tyler jumped out and volunteered to change the tire for us. No one asked him to. That's not in his job description. He just did it, and wore a smile the entire time. That's just the kind of guy he is! We ended up making the reception on time thanks to him. I tend to be a pretty harsh critic and basically never rate anything full points, but Tyler is the rare exception who genuinely earns a 10/10. You won't regret booking him!”

We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

“https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.”

We focus on candid, natural moments so you can be fully present on your day. The goal is for your wedding to feel like a celebration, not a film set.

“We had the most amazing experience during both our engagement and wedding photo shoots! From the very beginning, our photographer was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive. What stood out most was how genuinely they listened to our thoughts and ideas. They took the time to understand our vision and made sure our personalities really came through in every shot. During the engagement session, they created such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that we immediately felt comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. They captured all the important moments — big and small — without ever feeling intrusive. Their calm presence made a huge difference and helped keep us at ease throughout the day.

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

“Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!”

The Weekend Tape is a wedding videographer alternative for couples who want a nostalgic, guest-filmed wedding video without adding another production crew to the room. We send you a real handheld camcorder kit before your wedding, your guests film the celebration from their point of view, and we edit the footage into a candid home-movie style film filled with the moments you may have missed. It’s part wedding camcorder rental, part edited nostalgic wedding film — simple, personal, and full of real memories from your people.

“What stood out most was watching guests immediately connect with the camcorder. It didn’t feel staged, awkward, or intrusive. It felt natural, nostalgic, and genuinely fun. People passed it around, laughed, recorded little moments, and captured pieces of the day that a couple may never have seen otherwise. It's a great way for couples to remember their wedding weekend without adding a huge production or breaking the budget, The Weekend Tape is absolutely worth booking.”

He was with us the whole night and didn't miss a moment. He really took the time to create a beautiful film for us to have as a memory of the day.

“We could not recommend Logan more! He played all of our “must have” songs (at the perfect times) and avoided all our “do not plays.” More importantly, he spent time with us before our wedding to understand exactly what we wanted, and all of the music he played matched our likes and dislikes and perfectly fit the moment for each part of the wedding. Most of our guests never left the dance floor, and awesome DJing definitely set the tone for an amazing and fun party. We felt that Logan was a real partner and expertly tailored his work to us. Not to mention just how responsive and easy he was to work with, which was really appreciated given how much else we had going on in planning the event. Truly a great experience with Perfect Cadence!”

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra & Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food & Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

“I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!”
