Every unforgettable word spoken, every special hug. Everything that defines you as a couple. You will get to watch how all your friends and family celebrated your love while dancing and laughing the night away.
You could relive all the special moments and notice all the little details you missed as you were wrapped up in the excitement.
That’s where my magic comes in.
I have a hands-off approach to filming to stay true to who you are as a couple. My goal is to be a calming presence on your wedding day, fading into the background and supporting you as needed. There are less than a handful of times I direct my couples as I want to capture true emotion, genuine laughter, and candid moments without interrupting your experience as much as possible.
I am a stealthy filmmaker, but I can also lend a helping hand with your finishing touches. Need help pinning a boutonniere? Or placing a stubborn bobby pin? I've got you.
My ultimate goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. After all, your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I want you to enjoy every moment without worrying about anything.
I understand that planning a wedding can be stressful, so I'm committed to making the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible for you. Whether you need advice, a sounding board, or just someone to help you navigate any challenges that come your way, I'm here to provide you with the support you need.
A Calming Presence
As you start planning for your big day, watch for the Film Experience Guide I'll be sending your way. This guide is something I put together for all of my amazing couples, and it's chock-full of tips and tricks to help you plan the perfect wedding.
Inside the guide, you'll find helpful information, like planning tips, things to remember on your wedding day, and even a handy checklist to keep you on track. I've poured all my knowledge and experience into this guide, and I'm confident you'll find it helpful as you plan for your special day.
Tips Along the Way
Whether you need advice, guidance, or someone to bounce ideas off of, I am always here to help.
Whether you prefer to call, text, or shoot me an email, I promise to respond as quickly as possible. My goal is to make your wedding planning experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, so don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance or advice.
So go ahead and hit me up whenever you need to chat. I'm looking forward to being a part of your journey and can't wait to see your wedding vision come to life!
Personal Attention
After the party is over, you can expect to receive your films within 3-6 months following your wedding. I work diligently to deliver the best film to you as quickly as possible and will provide updates along the way.
You will receive a password-protected gallery once they are ready, where you can download each of your films for safekeeping.
I want you to feel as calm and relaxed as possible. I'm here to ensure your day is nothing short of perfection! Enjoy every moment!
Contact doesn't end there! Keep an eye out over the months prior to your wedding for planning tips, recommendations (if you need them! 😊), and information to help make your film the one you've dreamed about! One month prior to your big day, I will send out a questionnaire to gather the final details and schedule our final call to address any questions you may have.
Once you decide and are ready to move forward, I will send over a contract. Once I receive the signed contract and the 25% non-refundable retainer, your date is officially secured on my calendar!
Inquire with me! I will reach out to schedule a call where we will talk about you, your story, and your vision.

What to expect from beginning to end.
Yes! I love to travel! I have filmed throughout New England and New York. I would love the opportunity to travel outside of the Northeast! If you are interested in working together and having an event outside of New England and New York, please reach out regarding a customized package to fit your needs.
How many weddings do you take each year?
Starting in 2024, I will be taking only one wedding a weekend and capping it at 15. Doing this will help me give each couple and their films the attention they deserve, as well as give me time to spend with my family.
Yes, Still Water Wedding Films has liability insurance through Next Insurance, and proof coverage can be given upon request.
Starting from 2023, we’re adding aerial footage to every collection for no additional cost! Please keep in mind that we can only offer this service if the weather and location permit it.
It can take up to 3-6 months depending on the time of year and how busy it is. I work diligently to get each and every edit completed as quickly as possible.
Yes. We know several videographers we can reach out to in an emergency. We also carry backup audio recorders and cameras in case of malfunction, and we always have more batteries and cards than we actually need. Your footage is also backed up multiple times and stored on the cloud in case of drive malfunction.
We love to meet our couples! We also understand that wedding planning can be super stressful and busy, so if you can’t fit in a meeting, we can Zoom or chat on the phone. Regardless of what you want, I always send out a questionnaire and set up a call before the big day to ensure I have everything I need. We also go over what time we should start and end filming and make sure we are on the same page; that way you can spend time celebrating and not worrying about what your vendors are doing.
It’s entirely up to you either I can choose it or send you a playlist of songs that I feel fit the feel of your day. For copyright reasons I have to license the music I use. I have several websites which I can license music from. Unfortunately, most popular music cannot be licensed. That being said I listen to dozens of songs before I land on one that fits the feel of your day.
