I used to produce and plan tens of weddings in downtown West Palm at a 4-5 star venue. During covid-19 I developed my videography skills alongside fitness influencers and branding and brought my new skillset into the wedding industry and have shot my handful of weddings. A little about me: I am a Tampa Bay grown, soflo living videographer, a master's student in mental health, hold a BA in media from PBAU, and surf in my free time. I love God, people, family and friends above all.

Joel was extremely responsive from the first contact to the last. He was on time, prepared, and took over a thousand photos and promptly forwarded us the raws. We had the edits in a few more weeks -- more of them than he promised -- and they are beautiful. He did a great job composing the photos, capturing them, and post-processing them. I recommend him without reservation, he was great!

From our very first meeting with Henry at Piximpress, we knew we were in great hands. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple and made us feel completely at ease. Henry walked us through his approach with clarity and care, and his attention to detail in planning our wedding video gave us total confidence leading up to the big day. On the day itself, Henry was a calming, unobtrusive presence—he blended in seamlessly while still managing to capture every heartfelt moment. He worked so smoothly with our other vendors and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran effortlessly. When we received our final videos, we were blown away. The way Henry pieced everything together was nothing short of artful—the pacing, music, emotions, and storytelling were all spot-on. It felt like we were reliving the day, but with even more appreciation for the beauty in the details we may have missed in the moment. Henry’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for his craft stood out from start to finish. We feel so lucky to have worked with him and cannot recommend Piximpress enough to anyone looking for a deeply thoughtful, talented videographer.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Buxton Media Productions. From start to finish, Joshua was a dream to have as our videographer. He blended into the day so seamlessly that I often forgot he was there and that was exactly what I loved most. Many of our guests even commented afterward on how he was like a “fly on the wall,” capturing every meaningful moment without ever intruding on the joy and intimacy of the day. The final videos are breathtaking. Joshua’s eye for detail paired with Maddie’s editing created a highlight reel that feels cinematic yet deeply personal. Maddie pulled together the emotions, energy, and little in-between moments into something we’ll treasure forever. Watching it feels like reliving the day all over again. Professional, kind, and incredibly talented, Joshua and Maddie exceeded our expectations in every way.

Chez Media was an absolute pleasure to work with for our quinceañera videography. From the very beginning, the owner was incredibly kind, patient, and empathetic in understanding our needs. Their communication was perspicacious, and they went the extra mile to ensure our special day was captured perfectly. The quality of their work was truly elegant, emotional, and creative - their footage was so touching that it brought tears to our eyes every time we watched it. When I unexpectedly had to cancel on them just days before the event due to breaking my hip, the owner was incredibly understanding. Not only did he refund our entire deposit, which was against their policy, but he then offered to film my daughter's birthday party for free as a gesture of goodwill. I will always be grateful for their compassion and the beautiful way they memorialized our wedding day. Chez Media is truly a cut above the rest.

  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA

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 :)"

If you’re tired of wedding films as usual, Welcome. So am I. Your relationship, your personality, your humor, your love is your own - so why do so many wedding films feel the same? Candeo Films’ exists to create unique, artfully crafted films that feel like you. That feel like the truth. I specialize in making films you can feel - timeless heirlooms using real moments, natural sound and all the feeling of your wedding day. Sometimes this is referred to as documentary wedding videography because it allows your wedding film to breathe with the real emotion of your day, but I think this actually feels more “cinematic" and like an actual film.

Candeo is amazing - creative and visionary imagery and cinematography; but more than that, absolutely BEAUTIFUL and incredibly moving story-telling.

Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Why do I tell stories? Because stories help us remember all of those beautiful moments in our lives. I'm Danny, and I've been creating cinematic films for thirteen years. I'm a human being who's incredibly passionate about creating timeless films that are artistic, exquisite, and recherché.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny was the best to work with, from start to finish. When we first spoke to Danny on the phone, he was so friendly and easy to talk to. On the day of our wedding, it was the same. He genuinely had the most amazing vibe to him and made everyone feel so unbelievably comfortable - our families, bridal party, guests, and us. It honestly felt great having him around. Our parents loved him and made that very clear to us, which we completely understood, as we felt the same. He was so kind and friendly to everyone and our videos were beautiful and everything we wanted them to be. If we could go back, there is no doubt that we would choose him all over again. Thank you so much for being part of and capturing one of the most special days ever!
