Hi! This is Andi, a videographer who, after 7 years of making news documentaries and nonprofit videos for social causes, decided to step into wedding films. Currently serving couples in the Washington D.C. metro area and beyond. You can find pricing and package info on my website.

Awarded Best of Zola
Andi was an absolute joy to work with. From our very first meeting, she showed a genuine interest in understanding our vision for the video. She asked thoughtful questions and immediately put us at ease, even when we felt a little outside of our comfort zone in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond — at one point even taking a clip out of her own hair to help pin mine down for photos. Her kindness and character shone through every step of the way, and the final video captured our day more beautifully than we could have imagined. If we could get married again and again, we’d choose Andi every single time to tell our story.

The experience we had with Chad was 10/10. I'm a bit late reviewing but Chad did our wedding in May & I can't even put into words how great he was. We knew immediately Mist & Moss was perfect for us after meeting Chad on zoom when we were first searching for vendors. We knew nothing at all about wedding planning and he made us feel totally at ease, talked us through the whole process of how the video process worked and right off the bat made us feel like friends. The day of they were the PERFECT chill (but organized) presence we needed, they were there for every second and caught every moment perfectly. The final product WAY exceeded our expectations and we cannot thank you guys enough for our memories!!

I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough for anyone looking for an exceptional wedding videographer. From the moment we first met, it was clear that he had a true passion for capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day. Andrew took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our vision, and ensure every detail was accounted for. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, was incredibly professional, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. One of the things that stood out to me was Andrew's ability to be both present and unobtrusive. He managed to capture all the important moments without ever making us feel like we were being filmed. The result was a series of candid, beautiful shots that truly reflected the joy and love of the day. Andrew also worked seamlessly with our photographer, ensuring that both video and photo moments were perfectly coordinated.

Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

The videographer showed up on time, knew exactly what she were doing, and captured our day beautifully without getting in the way. We had our edited highlight video within a week, which was huge since we wanted to share it with family right away. Note for their video lite package, the ceremony video comes raw, but was easy to edit in Canva.

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor. We offer both Super 8 film and camcorder-style footage in addition to our standard 4K delivery. <3

My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;). I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate. Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that! She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade. I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!
