Marriage is an incredible gift, and it’s always worth celebrating. As a married couple ourselves, we love being a part of the moment when other couples begin their own journeys together. Each year, we film and photograph dozens of weddings, capturing memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
We believe that amazing wedding photos and videos are a gift that only grows more meaningful as the years go by, and we'd love to talk with you about how we would capture your wedding.
Wedding video packages start at $2,000.

“5 Stars - I've had the pleasure of working with Ryan at Stonewater for many years as a planner, and he is truly one of my favorite videographers to partner with. What sets him apart is how involved and prepared he is - he joins planning calls, collaborates seamlessly with the vendor team, and shows up on wedding day ready to go. The end product is always incredible: emotional, polished, and a true reflection of the couple's story. I trusted him so much that I had him film my own wedding - which says everything.”
Our Process
The work on your wedding film begins well before the big day. We start by getting to know you, walking through the schedule, and shaping a vision for how you’d like your story told.
On the wedding day, I typically film with two cameras—my main rig and a gimbal-mounted camera for smooth, cinematic motion. For the ceremony, I expand to a four-camera setup: one in the back, one on each side of the altar, and my handheld always by my side to capture the moments in between.
Sound is just as important as visuals. I use discreet microphones and, when possible, connect directly to the sound system or DJ’s board so vows, toasts, and laughter are heard as clearly as they happened.
Once the formalities end, it’s time to dance—and the gimbal lets me move through the crowd, capturing the joy with fluid, energetic shots.
Afterward, I back up every file for safekeeping and begin piecing the story together. Most couples receive their finished film, along with the raw footage, within 8–12 weeks.
