For over 10 years, I’ve had the absolute honor of capturing love stories through wedding videography. What started as a passion for editing videos in my bedroom (on an ancient computer!) has grown into a full-fledged creative business grounded in storytelling, heart, and authenticity. Dates book up quickly, but I always make time to connect with new couples. Whether it's a quick text chat or a phone call, I'm happy to walk you through my process and see if we're the right fit.

Holly did a FANTASTIC job with our wedding video, it brought us to tears! It was very well shot and wasn’t too cheesy or too relaxed. She was awesome to work with and I highly recommend!

When people ask; Do you like filming weddings? It’s easy for me to quickly respond, Of course! I love being a wedding videographer. Everyone’s always happy, excited & ready to have a good time! Likewise, hanging out & getting to know each bride & groom on one of the biggest days of their life together is simply awesome. Listening to the stories that brought them together or maybe tested them at times & figuring out how to implement each piece into a film that represents the couple is always a challenge. Every wedding is different, every couple has a unique story. I love the challenge of making every film tailor-made to fit each couple.

Pat has a very chill, calming presence on wedding days. His low-key, documentary approach to capturing weddings focuses on authentic connections and letting the day unfold, naturally.

I am a St. Louis, Missouri and beyond wedding videographer who has a passion for love and telling each of our couple's stories. Wedding videography is something that I am so passionate about. Because at the end of your wedding day, after the last song has been played, the last dance has been danced, and everyone starts heading home -- your film is one of the only things you get to keep of your day! And I think it is so important to have a film of your wedding to not only look back on but to relive it -- through the very best visuals, the sweetest moments, and the all of the very best audio bits from throughout the 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.

It is so hard for me to write a review on Maloch Media, because it is so hard to put into words how exceptional they are. Trevor and his team are such a joy to be around on one of the most important days of your life. Trevor wasn't just there as a videographer but there as a friend. Throughout the whole day he was making sure that I was comfortable and had what I needed, and he was there to comfort me during the overwhelming times. He exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I truly cannot say enough great things about him and his work, it is truly exceptional. Every time that we watch our wedding video we are just overwhelmed with emotions, the video makes us feel like we are reliving the day all over again. He captured things that we don't even remember seeing on our wedding day. His work is impeccable. Maloch Media is the perfect addition to any wedding, they are worth every penny and more!

Paul Hairston Films

  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Hartford, IL

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 :)"

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 !

Bailey is a true artist! Our wedding video is something we were very nervous about. We even considered not hiring a videographer because we were so worried about feeling uncomfortable on camera! Bailey moved about our wedding day capturing every important moment completely undetected, and I mean that in the best way possible! We didn't even realize in the moment that we were being filmed. She captured the most meaningful, genuine moments of our day and after seeing the final product, we can't even imagine not having this video to cherish for the rest of our lives. At our reception we had an audio guest book that provided us with a bunch of audio from our loved ones. We gave Bailey the huge task of adding some of that audio to our final video. We were completely blown away by how she mixed the audio from our friends and family with the other audio and video from the day! We now have a beautiful highlight reel that we can show to friends and family, we have an edited video of our vows with multiple angles, we have all of the toasts in an edited video, and, one of our favorite things about what Bailey offers with her videography packages, we have all of the raw, unedited footage so we don't forget a single moment of the day. Bailey is caring, flexible, professional, and has an unmatched talent for the art of videography!
