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.

I'm Godfred Mensah, CEO of Gordino Photo and Video. I'm a passionate, creative, and aspiring artist. What drives my passion is the endless possibility of creating and documenting memorable moments with people.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Godfred for our wedding videography and we were quite literally BLOWN AWAY by his talent and the videos received. We have also received so much overwhelming feedback from family and friends who have seen our footage and are in awe of what we have received. From the beginning, working with Godfred was seamless, easy, and the communication was on point. He took the time to gather details about us that I see now were carefully used to capture things that were most important to us on our wedding day. From start to finish, the attention to detail was unmatched. Then, on our wedding day, Godfred was a dream to work with - he captured so many moments that felt like a whirlwind to us on the day-of, but when we got to watch them in the finished product, we got to re-live those moments, and that is truly invaluable. Being on camera can be nerve-wracking for some people, but he truly made us feel so comfortable and at-ease. I have re-watched the wedding trailer Godfred created for us no less than a million times since it's been delivered, and it is truly amazing. If you are on the fence about having videography at your wedding, I recommend doing it 100% so you can have these memories with you forever, and on top of that, work with Godfred at Gordino Photo and Video - you will be blown away.

She’s your best hype girl and absolutely will get your partner out of their shell if one of you is camera shy. My husband hates being in front of a camera and Kyrie got some of the BEST shots and scenes we’ve ever had of him, and we’ve been together almost nine years now. I would see Kyrie again in a heartbeat just to hang out if she’s ever in our neck of the woods of Oregon. Our video is so special and including the pre and post ceremony interviews and family interviews was such an amazing treat we’ll cherish forever.

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

Trevor was simply amazing! After searching for weeks for the perfect videographer, we finally found Trevor Maloch. We wanted someone that we not only connected with, but also someone who was fun and pleasant to work with and that’s exactly what Trevor was for us. His pricing and packages were within our price range. Maloch Media provided us exactly what we were looking for in our wedding video and that was to make us feel like we were reliving the biggest day of our lives. We highly recommend Maloch Media.

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

Paul and his assistant were absolutely amazing. I actually found him when googling videographers in my area and LOVED all his work as I could tell he took true pride in his films and caught all the little details of the weddings he videoed. When setting up a meeting, I realized he actually lived 4 hours away from me... BUT that didn't stop him! He was willing to travel with his assistant for a VERY cheap price and was there the whole time. He actually asked ME if he could come earlier to ensure he got all the little details on camera and capture every minute of us getting ready, etc. He was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process prior to the big day as well. Paul was in school for cinematography at the time which is very evident in his work as you can tell that film is his true passion in life through his work. We had no idea he was even there and he stayed until the very end (little did I know) to ensure he captured everything on film. As most brides (and grooms) do, we put a LOT of planning into our big days and a lot of thought into every single little detail. Of course your own wedding day is such a blur you never even get to appreciate all your hard work... but thanks to Paul, I am able to see every little part of the wedding from the place settings to all the little signs we had everywhere. He did an amazing job capturing every moment and I love my highlight film. Thanks to him, I get to witness and relive what was my dream wedding over and over again... I knew I wanted to hire him when his highlight films of complete strangers brought me to tears! He is now videoing my brother's wedding and a family friends... So Yes.... I HIGHLY recommend him :)"

We believe the best wedding films come from real connection — not stiff posing or overly staged moments. Our approach is calm, intentional, and story-driven, allowing couples to stay fully present while we quietly capture the atmosphere, energy, and meaningful moments of the day.

These videographers are outstanding! Words can't describe how much Lev and Nina made our wedding everything I wanted and more. Planning a wedding during covid has been very challenging and my venues and vendors have been cancelling left and right. I changed my wedding plans to 3 completely different location in Washington because of covid. Every time I had a hardship with the wedding and a change of plans, Nina and Lev have been the easiest and most understanding and compassionate individuals that helped me navigate the next steps because I did not want to post pone. They never once made me feel stressed with having things constantly change. Nina and Lev also put %150 into this project! I also would recommend adding the pre video because it gave me a chance to get to know Nina and Lev and become friends prior to the wedding so that I felt like they were good friends surrounded by us on our important day! Not just videographers!! There is a huge difference in their quality of video compared to any other I researched !
