Chad & his team are one of a kind, truly talented, and the coolest people ever. We had the best time getting to work with them and feel so lucky that we had the honor of Chad making our wedding video! Mist Moss somehow captured the very essence of our relationship and turned it into a work of art. We watch it every day because it brings us so much joy!! Lauren & Warren were absolutely fantastic and made our day so special. I am a bit camera shy, so I was a bit anxious about photos/video on the day, but they made the whole process fun and the end result is an absolute treasure. If you get the opportunity to work with them — do not hesitate — TAKE IT!!!!!

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.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Our video/streaming package went off without a hitch, and Brian even offered to tack on a little extra coverage after our ceremony.

Mike filmed our wedding in December 2021 and was absolutely amazing! He worked seamlessly with our photographer, day-of coordinator, and DJ, which made everything run so smoothly. I got my video just days after the wedding, and it was beautifully put together. Even a year later, I’m still so happy with it—especially after I lost the link and Mike got it back to me right away! I’d recommend this company 100%!

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 :) )

Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined.

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!!

From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor. We offer both Super 8 film and camcorder-style footage in addition to our standard 4K delivery. <3

My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;). I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate. Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that! She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade. I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!
