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.

Buxton media was professional as can be from start, talking with Joshua himself, to finishing the event and everything in between. My (now) wife insisted on videography for the wedding knowing what a blur everything would be, so we went with Buxton to get both photography and videography in one place. Buxton captured everything for us with multiple photographers and videographers for a full ten hour day from getting ready for both parties to the reception’s end. We haven’t gotten all of our edited photos back yet but the brief amount we’ve seen has been perfect. They even braved the January weather to get some outdoor shots like real champions! Highly recommend them for your photography AND videography needs!

Stephen James Films made the best wedding videos we could have imagined and we are so happy that we have the videos to last for the rest of our lives! We initially did not plan to hire a videographer for our wedding and I'm so happy we changed that mindset! We had conveniently met them at another wedding, just a few months prior while my husband was fascinated by their drone. We instantly connected and started chatting about the what if they came to our wedding. After seeing some of their previous videos, we knew we needed to have them come. Throughout planning, we kept them in the loop and got to know them more as we finalized the plans. Stephen and Rosie travel throughout the country and included a date night video in our package which we got to know them further and spend some fun time outside of wedding talk with them. This was such a unique offer and while it was only a 60sec video, the quality of what was produced from being on a date night with them really made us know we made the right decision. The videos from our wedding were quickly turned around and we have had multiple friends ask us for their contact. They got all the details and channeled our vision and vibes from the wedding to the videos.

  • 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.

You only have to view a few of their films to realize the difference hiring a filmaker versus a videographer makes. Yes, they can flawlessly record the ceremony, panning from different angles, but they really shine in curating a highlight film that captures the entire day. You only plan on doing this once. Capture the event in a way that will allow you to relive it every time you watch.

Where media meets nostalgia. We specialize in a range of events—from weddings and graduations to surprise proposals, baby showers, and birthday parties—but our focus is always on the people. Our mission is to create media that makes you look back with nostalgia.

Optimum Advantage was an exceptional wedding photography/videography team to work with. From our very first interaction, they were respectful, clear communicators who took the time to actively listen to our vision for capturing our special day. Their creative approach resulted in a final video that was not only delivered in a timely manner, but also exceeded our expectations. They brought a wonderful positive energy to our wedding and ensured they got all the important moments we wanted preserved on film. We are thrilled with the quality of their work and highly recommend Optimum Advantage to any couple looking for a proactive, talented photography/videography team.

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.
