Birch Fields was the perfect choice for our wedding videographers. From our very first interaction, they demonstrated a thorough, professional, and warm communication style that immediately put us at ease. Their artistic, cinematic, and sincere approach to capturing our special day was evident in every frame. Steven's presence behind the camera made the day feel smoother and more relaxed, and he effortlessly documented the energy, joy, and love of our celebration. We cannot recommend Birch Fields highly enough - they are incredibly talented and genuinely easy to work with from start to finish.

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it.

Hey there, my name is Grant Fitzgerald. I am an wedding videographer, photographer, actor and husband living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have always had a ridiculous obsession with love.

Grant did such an amazing job with the video he made of our wedding day! He was very professional, and coordinated seamlessly with our photographer. He was a joy to work with and the video that he produced brings a tear to everyone's eye who watches it. The quality of the sound and video were excellent. The editing was very skillful and he made sure to include any details that were important to us. We are so grateful to have those memories so beautifully captured. We absolutely recommend him!

Paul Hairston Films 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Des Moines, IA

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 :)"

  • Storytelling style

Award winning Videographer team that specialize in the very best day of service. Telling your story of the entire day from start to finish with a Cinematic touch. Everything filmed in 4k with the ability to livestream.

If I could give Chris more than 5 stars, I WOULD! He did such an amazing job at our wedding! Not only was he professional and punctual, but he went above and beyond! Helped me stay calm when we hit a couple bumps along the way, brought me water after the ceremony (I hadn’t realized I hadn’t drank any for awhile), made sure I had drinks throughout the night, but also made sure I ate before attending to my guests! He helped me take care of myself in the midst of the chaos! My husband and I read our vows privately before the ceremony and Chris already sent that over and I have cried so many times watching it already because he captured the moment perfectly! I can’t wait to see the rest of the footage! 10000/10 would recommend Chris for your wedding videographer!

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.

Wow… just WOW. We were completely mind-blown by our wedding film from Vanilla Film. They captured our day so beautifully and perfectly reflected the joy, love, and emotion we felt, not only in marrying each other, but in having all of our favorite people together in one place. The film was incredibly thoughtful, cinematic, and emotional in the best way. We immediately shared it with our friends and family and everyone has been raving about how talented the team at Vanilla Film is. We’re so grateful to have such a beautiful keepsake of our wedding day and truly couldn’t recommend Vanilla Film more highly!!

At Alex V Films, we create films that feel elevated, emotional, and completely true to you. Every couple has a different story, energy, and vision for their day, so we take the time to understand what matters most to you before we ever pick up a camera. Our approach is cinematic, but never forced. We are not here to turn your wedding into a staged production or make you redo moments that should be lived in real time. Instead, we focus on capturing the genuine emotion, movement, sound, and atmosphere of your day as it naturally unfolds. The tearful vows, the wild dance floor, the in-between moments, and all the people who made the day yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Musaab did an amazing job on our video from our wedding day!! My husband and I LOVE it and it’s something we will cherish forever.. He is so easy to work with and I have lost count how many times I have rewatched it over and over again. There are so many moments during your wedding day that are so special, but because your emotions are so high, you forget !! We found ourselves days later piecing things together by talking and hearing everyone’s different perspectives. When Musaab delivered our video (very quickly by the way) we were able to relive that day and really SEE and watch the emotion from each person. It was absolutely beautiful. ️ My family and friends have all said the same thing.. THANK YOU MUSAAB for our lifetime treasure. Book him now !
