About Firefly Productions, Llc

Firefly Productions, Llc

We’re Maurice & Carrie, a husband & wife team who met while working at a movie theater in the suburbs of Chicago when we were just 19. We stayed best friends across states as we followed different paths, ultimately finding ourselves living in Cincinnati, Ohio, reunited (and eventually married in November 2020). Firefly Productions grew out of a passion to do something that was positive & meaningful, and we named it after the fireflies we loved chasing & capturing as children on those hot, summer Illinois nights. We love road trips and obsessed with all things history. We'd rather take the back roads and discover new small old towns!

Our style is documentary at heart. We capture the day as it naturally unfolds, without staging or interruption. Then we carefully edit those real moments into films that are crafted, personal, and timeless. No templates. No scripts. Just your story, told honestly and beautifully.

    BLOWN AWAY

    We hired Firefly Productions for our wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice. Maurice was responsive and straightforward to work with from start to finish, answering all our questions without making things complicated. Even though he ended up filming solo, the final video turned out better than we expected—he somehow captured our day in a way that felt authentic to who we are. For the price we paid, the quality is unbeatable and honestly we haven't found anyone else who comes close. If you're looking for a videographer who delivers exceptional work without the stress, Firefly Productions is the way to go.

    Firefly Productions are amazing. Not only did they capture my perfect day, they have covered two of my other best friends wedding. It is such a family affair. They watched us get married and then got to meet our sweet baby girl a few months ago. If you want your day captured perfectly I highly recommend booking with Firefly.

    There is nothing better than capturing weddings of friends and family of former clients and seeing how families grow! Your friend group have all had outstanding, epic weddings! Your day is one of those perfect examples of because it had everything: a beautiful venue, emotional vows, and of the wall dancing! Thank you for letting us capture your day!


Maurice will always be your lead videographer. Depending on your timeline and locations, Carrie may join as a second shooter to capture prep, decor, and extra details. We also set up multiple 4K cameras for different angles, but we’re careful to stay unobtrusive. Our goal is to capture your day naturally, not become part of it.
Every edit you see, from the highlight to the full feature, is done by us personally. We believe the best edits come from the people who were actually there, hearing the laughter, feeling the energy, and knowing what moments truly mattered. We don’t use templates or outsource editing. Each film is hand-crafted to reflect your day, just as it happened.
Your highlight video is a 5–10 minute film that tells the story of your day in a beautifully condensed way. It will include a mix of visuals and audio — vows, speeches, cheering, clapping — set to a song that fits your day perfectly. We save plenty of special moments for your full feature film, so you’ll have both short and complete versions to enjoy.
Your full feature video includes your complete ceremony (from processional to recessional) and all key reception events such as introductions, speeches, cake-cutting, and first dances. You’ll also see extended highlight sections from prep, first look, cocktail hour, and open dancing. The average length is about 90 minutes, though it varies depending on your day (especially your ceremony). Everything is shown in chronological order — complete, but still watchable.
We choose music that fits your day — emotionally, lyrically, and energetically. While some songs can’t be used due to copyright, we carefully select ones that reflect your “musical footprint” — the style and feeling of your wedding day. The right song ties every moment together, helping you feel your day all over again. Many couples tell us the song we chose becomes their new “our song.”
To secure your date, a non-refundable deposit of $300 (applied toward your total balance) is due along with a signed agreement. The remaining balance is due two weeks (14 days) before your wedding day. You’re welcome to make additional payments toward the balance at any time before it’s due.
If you need to reschedule, we’ll do our best to accommodate your new date at no extra charge. If we’re unavailable for the new date, we’ll refund any payments you’ve made minus the $300 non-refundable deposit within 7–10 business days. If you need to cancel completely, it’s the same refund policy.
A non-refundable deposit is standard in the wedding industry. Once we reserve your date, we turn away other couples who inquire about that same day. If you cancel or reschedule for a date we can’t take, we lose the opportunity to book another event. The deposit helps cover that loss and ensures we can keep our pricing fair for all couples.
Yes. To secure your date, we ask for a signed agreement and deposit. This confirms that your day is fully yours; we only film one wedding per day, so if you need us earlier or later than planned, it’s never an issue.
We’re always recording, since we never know when something meaningful will be said. But don’t worry, we’ll only use audio that adds to your story. You’ll hear heartfelt moments from your vows, prep, and speeches, not random or off-topic chatter.
We primarily use two Sony FDR-AX700 cameras, along with extra cameras depending on the venue or space (GoPro 12, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and iPhone 17 Pro). We film everything in 4K for maximum quality. We don’t set up additional lighting, since we never want to interfere with your photographer’s setup or the natural lighting you’ve chosen for your day.
We capture audio in several ways to make sure your vows, speeches, and special moments sound clear. We use small shotgun microphones attached to our Sony cameras during prep, first looks, ceremonies, and receptions. We also use a Zoom H5 audio recorder, usually connected to the DJ’s or venue’s sound system. We also utilize a discreet Bluetooth lapel microphone for the ceremony (that can also clip to a collar, pocket, suspenders, etc.). Our microphones are for recording only and are not used to project sound through speakers during your event.
We totally understand why couples ask this. Our full-feature videos are complete, story-driven films that include everything worth watching: Your full ceremony, key reception events, and all the good stuff in between. You’re not missing out on any meaningful footage. Raw files themselves aren’t really “watchable.” They come from multiple cameras and audio recorders, out of sync and unedited. There’s no color correction, no sound mixing, just hours of disconnected clips that would take professional software (and a lot of patience) to view properly.
