About Chad Whelan

Chad Whelan

Owner + Principal Shooter

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and organic. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those candid moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice throughout the video.

I have been full-time in the wedding industry for over 20 years. I am always the primary shooter, editor + handle every single element of my business. I do not have employees or hire subcontractors, it is always me on your wedding day! Take a look at my work and if you like what you see I would love to set up a call and talk in much more detail. I am based in central CT with no travel charges throughout most of CT, MA, RI and parts of NY.

    Chad was excellent to work with - we wanted a video that felt authentic, candid, and beautiful, and that is exactly what we got! Chad captured all the important parts of our wedding day, all while letting us live in the moment. We often forgot we were being filmed, which really made the video a genuine reflection of our day. Thank you so much for everything!

  • Thank you Chad:)

    We loved working with Chad and Samantha. They captured all the special moments of the day and were professional. The video and audio quality were amazing in both the short vignette and long vignette videos! We requested a full video of the church ceremony and we had both Chad and Samantha to capture different angles - the editing of the different angles and shots were excellent quality. Chad was a nice calming presence throughout the day and was very easy going, which is what we needed! It was also a pleasure corresponding with Chad prior to and after our wedding. He was very quick to respond. Thank you, Chad!

  • A joy to work with

    Chad and his wife were great. Non invasive and captured all the highlights that we wanted and then some! Very easy going and laid back, did not add any stress. Would recommend to a friend and to you!
