We’re so grateful we chose Press Record Co for our wedding video! My husband and I had an intimate wedding where we didn't feel the need to spend thousands on a videographer as well as our photographer. We rented a camcorder from Press Record Co & created us a dreamy, beautiful video from the footage. The final result was heartfelt, high-quality, and captured the spirit of our day so perfectly—it truly brought tears to our eyes. It had a bit of each of our family members which meant so much to us. The whole team was kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Thank you for helping us preserve such a special memory. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a reliable and caring (and budget friendly compared to a videographer) video service!

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.

Simply OBSESSED. I worked with the Wedding Weekender for my bachelorette and wedding and both times was SO happy with the result. The team is prompt and communicative, answering our questions before and quick to provide our footage afterward. It was such a bonus to get all the raw footage in addition to the final video - my husband and I watched clips every night on our honeymoon, the best way to reminisce!! I loved having content that was from the POV of my guests, it makes you feel like you’re right back in the middle of things. Lastly, this was such a cost effective solution when you already have so many other things to worry about. Video was the first thing we cut from our budget, but with this we were able to have it all. I couldn’t recommend them more!!!

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.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!

Where media meets nostalgia. We specialize in a range of events—from weddings and graduations to surprise proposals, baby showers, and birthday parties—but our focus is always on the people. Our mission is to create media that makes you look back with nostalgia.

Hiring Jodi for our wedding was one of the greatest decisions we made for our big day. From the moment she arrived, she brought joy and pure talent that instantly made us feel relaxed and taken care of. Jodi didn’t just take photos—she captured every emotion, every detail, and every unforgettable moment in a way that still blows us away. The way she sees light, angles, and spontaneous moments is next level. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine, yet still feel completely natural and true to us. She’s incredibly easy to work with, gives amazing directions, and has this magical ability to make everyone feel comfortable—even the people who “never take good pictures.” Spoiler: with Jodi, they do!! Our family and friends keep talking about how beautiful our photos are and how great Jodi was throughout the entire day. She blended in effortlessly, kept everything running smoothly, and delivered memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. If you’re able to book Jodi, do it. She’s worth every penny and then some. We feel so lucky to have had her capture our wedding. 1000% recommend. Jodi is truly the best.

I've been thrilled to be able to capture the happiest day of many couples' lives for years now and preserve those memories for their children and grandchildren. I initially started videography out of a passion for filmmaking, which requires a lot of the same skills, taste, and attention to detail. I'm very blessed to be able to do both filmmaking and videography full time!

Choosing Caleb as our wedding videographer was quite literally one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. We initially had other options but spontaneously decided to look at a couple more before we made our final decision. We found Caleb first, and quickly after we were on the phone with him! Caleb from the start was so kind, helpful and professional. Caleb being hours and hours away from us, made the drive all the way out to film our special day! He was very good at keeping us in the loop through the process and listened when we had crazy ideas and never said no! He is the type to place himself in your shoes and include those funny, sweet and emotional moments of your day even if the video is already longer than expected. He made sure that the day of we were okay and always wanted to make sure we didn’t need anything. Without a doubt I would recommend and HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you book with Caleb, you won’t regret it!
