About Handheld Weddings

Handheld Weddings

Wedding Filmmaker

Not the version for Instagram. This is the one you’ll watch when the house is quiet. I make full-length, handheld wedding films that feel real — not staged. Around two hours long, with ceremony and speeches included. No dramatic edits. Just the honest moments, preserved. For couples who want to remember how it really felt. (Optional 3–5 min short available as an add-on.)

I don’t direct. I don’t stage. I don’t try to make your wedding feel like a movie. What sets me apart is how I stay out of the way and notice the things you didn’t plan—how your voice sounded during the vows, or the way your friend laughed too hard during the toast. I edit everything to feel honest and natural, like you’re watching the day unfold again—not a highlight reel, not a performance. Just the real thing, preserved.

    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
