Few things get me more excited than telling stories through video. Videography isn’t a job – it’s my artistic passion. I pride myself on delivering a quality, custom experience. It’s not just the video that’s important – it’s all the details leading up to the big event. I plan every shot so that nothing is left on the table. I use state-of-the-art equipment and a team of highly skilled cinematographers to document moments you may have missed but can revisit forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
There's a reason TLJ gets five stars! Tom and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Initially, we were unsure if we wanted to hire a videographer but we are so grateful we did. As people say your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye. You remember the moments you experienced, but there are so many moments of the day you don't see or remember. Tom did an amazing job capturing the moments from the bridal prep to first look, family pictures, to our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Pictures from your wedding mean a lot, but nothing compares to truly getting to relive your wedding day watching everything TLJ puts together. We could not recommend Tom and his team enough for the amazing work and attention to detail they give on one of the most unforgettable days of your life.

I was getting 2–3k videographer quotes and honestly thought I’d have zero wedding footage… UNTIL I stumbled across this company. Affordable, simple, and truly so special. I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

Why is everyone making wedding videography so difficult? It's really quite simple. You want an amazing video that you'll be proud to share on social and still be excited to watch decades from now, but you don't want someone annyoing, obtrusive or overly expensive to create it. We get it!

We could not be happier with Pat and his team (Dave was the lead for our wedding) and all I can say is wow. They were punctual and the quality of the video is unmatched. They worked seamlessly with my photography team and were non-intrusive which was really important to us! They captured everything perfectly and they were organic, non-staged moments. On top of it all— the turn around time of the videos was unbelievable. We got married on 12/14/24 and received our highlight video and trailer 12/24/24 and our movie 12/27/24! Many of our friends have gotten married and had videographers and the overall consensus is these are the best we’ve ever seen!! I want to get married again just to make another movie!! 10/10 100% would recommend over and over!! (Note: the pictures shared are phone screenshots from our video :) )

I want to turn the feelings of your day into something you can see and remember for a lifetime. I’m honored that you are here and look forward to getting to know you!

We cannot recommend/ say enough good things about Josh. We got 2 wedding videos- the teaser video & the main film. Both videos were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond our expectations. The videos capture every single aspect of our wedding day from start to finish, including the smallest of details— even details that we didn’t take note of on the actual wedding day because there was just so much to soak in. These videos are going to allow us to re-live the most special day of our lives over and over again and for that we are beyond thankful. Josh is truly the best of the best.

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Mechanicsville, PA

Cinematography has given me the creative outlet to tell stories that I always wanted growing up and my couples have given me amazing stories to tell. My main philosophy when it comes to Wedding Filmmaking is that it is not only about creating a video that tells the story of the wedding day, but it’s also about creating a film that tells the story of the couple. My filming style has been described as documentarian and pleasantly discrete. I may stage a few shots from time to time and I will work with the photographer as they are posing you for specific shots, but my films are defined by the fleeting moments in the midst of a very busy day.

We loved our wedding film! Seth was easy to work with and incorporated a custom song my husband wrote for me into our film!

Hello! My name is Alec and I run Small Batch Films! With a Master's Degree in Business Administration, I never thought I would find my love in wedding videography. I initially picked up a camera as a hobby, and then friends started asking me to do photography for them. Pretty soon I was doing photography for my friend's weddings, and I was hooked. It was such an exhilarating feeling to capture such an important day in the lives of two people in love! But where I really found my love was with the video camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend Small Batch Films without any hesitation to anybody I know. He was beyond organized, made everyone feel confident and comfortable, and the video that he provided us is a memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The film that was provided encapsulates our wedding to its fullest. It showed the love, connections, laughs, tears, and the amazingly fun reception we had. Not only did he provide a film, but he also provided us with a few HD pictures from our special day. The service was more than I could have asked for and for his prices, it is not comparable to other companies for the amazing quality of work that you are getting. We couldn't imagine our day without Alec there, as he was an essential part of how smooth and relaxed our day was.

From the moment we booked 5Cents Media for our wedding videography, we felt at ease with their responsive communication style and down-to-earth, personable approach. As a couple who doesn't always love being the center of attention, Matt made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. He had a way of capturing all the special moments without us even noticing he was there. We loved the fun, customized video he created that truly felt like "us.” It’s a keepsake we'll cherish forever. Overall, 5Cents Media exceeded our expectations and we're so grateful they were a part of our big day.

I can’t say enough about Soul Narrative Studios. He filmed and photographed my engagement and also filmed our wedding video. Jordan was so easy to work with, answer questions quickly, and everything I threw at him he took in stride. (I changed my wedding date 3 times, and the venue more times than I can count... corona weddings..) anyway, Jordan helped us through it all and was amazing. The pictures and videos are absolutely amazing. I would 10/10 recommend for all your videography and photography needs.

Stagger Films played a role in our small backyard wedding ceremony (large event postponed due to COVID) and in our big wedding weekend a year later. They covered all of our events perfectly and captured all the major aspects. Their highlight film is the best quality we have seen. We have been to countless weddings over the years and their product is just superior to others. All the other films of our special day were just spectacular as well. They are able to capture everything perfectly and are master's of their craft. Michael is extremely responsive and attentive. He works with you closely and helps to design the product you want.If you are looking for videography for your event, we recommend you look no further and just sign with them today! We are definitely going to cherish our videos for years to come! Also having all the films was perfect for family members and friends who couldn't make it! Also great for us--the couple and close family who may not have been able to enjoy every detail given the fast pace of all the events! Michael was also very flexible given all the changes due to postponing our ceremony, and always made sure we were getting everything we needed/wanted!We have received numerous compliments on our video and we honestly cannot stop watching. We did look elsewhere for videography, but they along with all of their other sister teams: M2 photography, poserphoto booth co were the best decisions we made! The whole team is just amazing!!

Hi, I'm Kari Ries, owner and lead videographer of Ries Video Productions. As a young producer for Time Warner in NYC, I shot and edited all of my own news stories. When my husband and I got married in 1994, I edited my own wedding video, creating a story of "us". I realized right then and there that I was most energized by personal and creative videography, and boom, Ries Video Productions was born! My time spent at NBC10 in Philadelphia as a photojournalist is when I refined my storytelling skills. When a great story comes together with creative visuals, compelling narration, and carefully curated music, it's pure magic!

Kari was so beyond amazing to work with! She made our wedding day feel like a fairytale and stress-free navigating through a busy schedule. Our 2 sneak peaks and full wedding video were delivered to us very quickly and really encompassed all of our favorite moments. We could not reccomend Kari and her company more!

Growing up immersed in film, I was captivated and inspired by filmmakers of the past.

Chris and his brother were such a gift to have on our vendor team on our wedding day. Chris was very organized and easy to communicate with up to the day of, giving me zero doubts that Chris would deliver a wedding video that was exactly what I desired. On the wedding, Chris was one of the biggest and best surprises to have around. His personality is so easy going, and at times we would have conversations about stuff other than the wedding, which was exactly what I needed the morning of to calm my nerves. His presence was invaluable. Him and his brother worked very well with our photographer and were excellent at giving us reassurance throughout the day that they were getting good footage. They managed to get excellent angles for the ceremony without being in the way of anything and were able to work well with the DJ to get good audio. I am so pleased with the final product they delivered to us and cannot recommend them enough. If you want a wedding video that shows off your whole day, all the good moments you don't want to forget, hire Chris!
