Hello & welcome! I have been a filmmaker and cinematographer for 8 years. I like to think working in different realms of video and film has given me a unique perspective. I see many wedding videos that look very similar, and frankly lack 'heart.' I am driven to infuse every wedding film with that special quality; hard to describe but easy to spot when you see it : )

Hi, my name is Sean, and I love creating films. Being able to capture a day, an event, or a special moment for people to relive it, is why I do what I love, and I love what I do. Seeing how happy my clients are, inspire me to pursue more wedding films and making others feel just as joyful as these lovebirds. Because I enjoyed creating their love story, I know I want to create more films that other couples, like you, will cherish, remembering those special moments and little quirks you may otherwise forget as the years go by.

So… After 2019, I decided that 2020 was going to be the year. It was going to be the breakout year for weddings and events. Filming every other weekend, capturing all the precious moments that every videographer cries over in their editing room about. I prepared my box of tissues at hand, (100 boxes in fact). All the beautiful moments in 2020, I couldn’t wait! Well that never happened! But here we are in 2022! It’s time to get the dress, get the photographer, walk down the isle and have the wedding of your dreams. My name is Andrew McCarthy, I would love to film your wedding :)

I’m Mitchell. For more than ten years, I’ve been filming weddings across Indiana for couples who don’t want to feel staged or overly directed. My approach is simple: stay present, stay out of the way, and capture the day as it actually felt. I focus on real moments — the nervous laugh, the quiet glance, the way your people sound when they cheer. Wedding films aren’t about trends. They’re about memory. Styles change. Moments don’t. Your wedding deserves to be held for generations.

After 10+ years in the business, my passion for visual storytelling is stronger now than ever before. I promise to capture each moment throughout your special day to help you relive it for years to come.
