  • Serves Smithsburg, MD

My goal is to make sure every video I create represents you as the couple exactly as you are and tells the story of your day in a way that preserves the emotion and memories for years to come. I love to work with people from all walks of life and am inclusive of every type of love story. As I grow in my art and in my business, I find myself leaning more and more toward authenticity. During your day, I want to capture your true selves, therefore I do very little posing or staging. I will gently guide you during couples portraits, or point you toward the best light, but other than that, I strive to be as unobstrusive as possible.

TLIC Wedding Photo & Video

  • Serves Smithsburg, MD

TLIC was started in 2017 when owner Chris Hiltz captured his first wedding on video. Within the first three weeks of posting the film, three couples reached out and booked Chris to capture their wedding. At that point, he was hooked! After capturing 22 weddings in his first year, he realized the importance of the relationship between photographer and videographer. He reached out to his top photographers from the first year and developed partnerships. Those partnerships have blossomed into TLIC now having 9 full-time and 11 part-time team members that all work together training and developing their skills and wedding day approach together.

My first experience with TLIC was capturing my brother and sister-in-law's beautiful wedding. My fiancé and I knew the next day that we needed them to capture our beautiful day. Chris and his team were so helpful through every aspect of the planning process all the way through to the end of the night singing Country Roads in the middle of all our favorite people on the dance floor. Looking back on that day, I think what I enjoyed most of all was that I barely new our vendor team was there in the best way possible. Our whole day from beginning to end felt like giant celebration of our love. What it did not feel like was having to pose in front of a camera all day. When we were taking the some of the more posed shots, they made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Chris and his team blended in beautifully to the background while simultaneously capturing the most epic shots. We can’t wait to see the magic his editing team creates so that we get to relive our favorite day forever and ever. So many of our friends and family commented on how awesome our vendor team was and we couldn’t agree more! John and I cannot recommend TLIC Media enough. I truly wish I could give them 10 stars

Since then; Zach has filmed upwards of 100+ weddings along with producing hundreds of other videos which has made him an incredibly versatile videographer.

If I could give Zach 1000 stars, I would. Positive Vibe Media was the best choice for our wedding videographer. From our very first interaction, Zach was quick to respond, friendly, and just so easy to work with. They were there early the day of the wedding checking in with me to make sure they didn't miss a thing, and they made sure to capture every little detail we wanted. The quality of their work is amazing - they have such an eye for detail and Zach sent us our sneak peaks of our wedding video in record time. Zach and his team were so nice, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you're looking for a videographer who will make your special day even more special, look no further than Positive Vibe Media. We couldn't have picked anyone better.

Since then, I’ve been honored to capture love stories that couples can relive for years to come. If you're dreaming of a film that truly reflects your day, I’d love to help bring it to life.

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.

From start to finish Buxton Media Productions was the best! I was apprehensive at first about having videography at our wedding (but my husband really wanted it) I was worried about having a bunch of cameras all around and in my face all day and it could not have been further from that. Buxton Media was so professional they knew just how to set up and do things. They communicated really well too. I didn’t even notice them around all day (except when they introduced themselves haha). And our wedding video is perfect and more than I could have ever asked for. Seriously I am here to say- choose them! You will not be disappointed!!!!!

When we started our wedding planning we had no idea how expensive photo/videography is for your wedding and then we found broadside visuals on instagram. They offered an amazing package of both photo and video for an amazing price so we booked them not knowing how truly talented they really are! We are sooo glad we went with them. They were so easy to communicate with, they answered all our questions. When our wedding day came they arrived early and were there until the very end. They were so kind, directed us in poses, and made everyone feel very comfortable. Before the wedding I gave them my timeline and a shot list of poses/photos I wanted. The day of they followed the timeline so well and we got done with photos usually before it was even listed for on the timeline. They reminded me of the poses I wanted from the shot list when I was too busy to remember. And we got such beautiful sunset photos that I wanted but in the business of it all would have missed if they didn't remind us. We got our sneak peak photos two weeks after our wedding and were obsessed. The photos came out so beautiful alongside our highlight video that we will continue to rewatch and relive our day through it. We are so thankful we have these pictures and videos to look back on for the rest of our lives!! Just go do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding you won't regret it!

At Still Do Media, we believe your wedding deserves to be remembered beautifully. Choosing the right wedding photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we're here to make it easy.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't express how grateful we are for our incredible wedding videographer, Steven! He was not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot he took.  He beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, and finding someone who could provide high-quality video, drone footage, and 8mm film was a dream come true. When I finally stumbled upon this gem from Virginia, I knew I had found my guy! And I felt compelled to write this review even before receiving our final video because of how much we enjoyed working with Steven and his colleague! I was so comfortable with them and felt like their friend by the end of it all. If the teaser video is any indication (which we received the following day OMG!), the final video will far exceed all our expectations! We will cherish these memories forever, thanks to their amazing work! EASILY, HAPPILY, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 12/10! 5 STARS ALL AROUND! If you would like a videographer who has a great product, is easy to work with, is a good human, and makes your wedding day better by being awesome, do yourself a favor and hire Steven!

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.

Wedding videographers record live events while cinematographers and wedding filmmakers focus on telling a story through beautiful motion pictures, captivating dialogue, immersive sound design, and emotion. Our films strike the perfect balance of all aspects that make a wedding great. The emotional moments that move you to tears, even while watching a strangers wedding film, the humorous moments to lighten the mood, and the high-energy entertainment that is so often under-represented in your run-of-the-mill wedding film.

Mike from Avery Films was our videographer for our wedding in December 2021. He was absolutely phenomenal! He worked very well with my photographer, day of coordinator, and dj and everything went so smoothly. I received my video days after my event, and it is so well put together. 1 year later, I am still so happy with everything (especially since I lost the link to my video and Mike helped me immediately)!

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 :)"

He and his team went above and beyond on the day of our wedding, consistently checking in with us to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted and being super flexible with any changes and specifics we asked in the moment. His video delivered such a custom feel that PERFECTLY encapsulated the theme and feel of our wedding which demonstrated the high level of effort he spent on capturing every detail of the day and the energy that was felt by everyone at our wedding! All of his efforts translated perfectly to the final video he gave us (to which we watched countless times on the day we received it, lol)! He and his team come HIGHLY recommended from us! :)

Based in Washington DC, I've filmed weddings worldwide, crafting cinematic stories that capture each couple’s journey. Featured in Munaluchi Bride and Black Bride Magazine. Proud USAF veteran. As a wedding filmmaker, I bring a cinematic storytelling approach, focusing on capturing each couple's unique love story. By fostering a personal connection with the couple, I craft wedding films that reflect their authentic journey. Using artistic composition, natural lighting, and a keen eye for detail, I create visually striking sequences that evoke deep emotions.

Thank you for capturing our special day. We couldn’t ask for a better photographer. We would definitely recommend Derek to anyone planning a special occasion.
