From our very first interaction, they demonstrated a thorough, professional, and warm communication style that immediately put us at ease.

“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.

Paul Hairston Films 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Essex, 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.

“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!”

Sunfire Films is a boutique wedding film studio based in Santa Fe where every frame is a painting. I work in both documentary and cinematic styles so your film can be candid and unscripted or full of the storytelling you'd expect from a short film. Either way it will look and feel truly like you. I take care of the details so all you have to be is yourselves, and together we'll make a film you can return to again and again. I film all over New Mexico and travel for destination weddings with no added travel fees.

“Sun Fire Films is an exceptional wedding videography duo that I highly recommend. As a photographer, I was impressed by their professionalism, collaborative approach, and ability to seamlessly blend into the day while capturing stunning, cinematic footage. Their technical expertise, and warm personalities made working with them a joy, and their final product perfectly encapsulating the emotions and details of the wedding. They went out of their way to ensure our work complemented each other, even sharing footage to match my editing process. Sun Fire Films is a talented, thoughtful, and reliable team that elevates any wedding vendor lineup I can’t wait to work with them again!”

“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!”

“Working with Unveiled Weddings Media was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Musaab was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, always answering our questions and making sure we felt prepared and confident. What really set him apart was going above and beyond—he captured our private vows and first look, then went the extra mile to include photos of memories from our first trip together that we mentioned in our vows, which meant everything to us. His work is creative and heartfelt, and you can see how much he genuinely cares about telling your story. He was easy to work with on the day itself, kind, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
