We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.

I came across Brent with a quick google search when looking for a wedding videographer and he was one of a couple videographers that got back to me. I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Brent because not only was he the first to respond, but he genuinely wanted to get to know my husband and I. The other videographers just let me know they were available for our date and then gave me their prices. Brent wanted to know how we met, how my husband proposed, etc., not to mention he responds to emails and texts and any questions very fast. On our wedding day, Brent help keep everyone moving along on and on time for all of our events and timeline details. He was so easy to work with and captured our day perfectly. We also only had to wait a couple weeks to get our first wedding film teaser video. I can’t recommend Brent enough to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

We had the best experience with Wedding Weekender! It was worth every penny. They made every step of the process easy, the equipment itself was easy to use, and everybody had a blast at the wedding filming and being filmed. We are over the moon with how the video editing turned out as well! I am just amazed at how the WW team took only a couple of sentences of direction/suggestions and created such a beautiful, fun video that absolutely captured the vibe of the wedding day and the vibe of our relationship. I could watch it over and over again (and I do). BOOK THEM!!!!!

I’m Mitchell. For more than ten years, I’ve been filming weddings across Indiana for couples who don’t want to feel staged or overly directed. My approach is simple: stay present, stay out of the way, and capture the day as it actually felt. I focus on real moments — the nervous laugh, the quiet glance, the way your people sound when they cheer. Wedding films aren’t about trends. They’re about memory. Styles change. Moments don’t. Your wedding deserves to be held for generations.

As a wedding venue owners of The Wilds Wedding Venue in Bloomington, Indiana (www.thewildsvenue.com), we have had the unique opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors. In doing so, we’ve grown to greatly appreciate Mitchell Gaston Films. Their team is not only incredibly talented, but are also experienced, true professionals. If you're looking for an amazing videography experience and film, look no further!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.

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!!
