Handheld Weddings by Mitchell Gaston 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Wood River, IL

Hi! I’m Mitchell, a wedding filmmaker based in Indiana. I create documentary-style films focused on the small, quiet moments couples actually want to remember. I’m not big on staging or posing — I prefer capturing things as they happen, so the film feels genuine and emotional rather than “performed.” Every wedding I film includes a handcrafted feature film and a full-day documentary edit with vows, speeches, and dances preserved in full.

Mitchell Gaston Films truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. From the very beginning, Mitchell’s dedication and professionalism shone through. He held multiple Zoom meetings with me, ensuring every detail was tailored perfectly to my vision. On the big day, he and his wife traveled all the way from Indiana to Colorado for our intimate micro-wedding, seamlessly blending in with our family and making everyone feel comfortable. Mitchell is polite, respectful, and incredibly talented. When we received our wedding footage, my husband and I sat down together and were moved to tears of joy. He captured the magic, love, and beauty of our special day in a way that felt so authentic and heartfelt. It’s a keepsake that we, along with our family, will cherish forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to trust Mitchell Gaston Films with such an important moment in our lives. Thank you, Mitchell, for giving us a gift we’ll treasure for years to come! 3

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

My husband and I spent months looking for the perfect videographer for our wedding- since we are both creative people, we wanted someone who values storytelling, has a documentary style that captures the real emotions of the day, and cares deeply about their craft. Talking to Saja felt like finding our creative soulmate, because she goes above and beyond on all of these fronts. She is incredibly detail oriented and has an incredible eye for elements you might not think of as a bride and groom. And to top it all off she’s super down-to-earth and was so fun to work with day-of. I can’t recommend her enough!

We used Conner for our wedding on May 3, 2025. We were looking for a DJ and our photographer who had worked with him multiple times had recommended him…. 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. I hope we have the chance to work with you again in the future for another event. THANK YOU!!!!
