We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.

Hi! This is Andi, a videographer who, after 7 years of making news documentaries and nonprofit videos for social causes, decided to step into wedding films. Currently serving couples in the Washington D.C. metro area and beyond. You can find pricing and package info on my website.

Awarded Best of Zola
Andi was an absolute joy to work with. From our very first meeting, she showed a genuine interest in understanding our vision for the video. She asked thoughtful questions and immediately put us at ease, even when we felt a little outside of our comfort zone in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond — at one point even taking a clip out of her own hair to help pin mine down for photos. Her kindness and character shone through every step of the way, and the final video captured our day more beautifully than we could have imagined. If we could get married again and again, we’d choose Andi every single time to tell our story.

Hi, I'm Chad. My goal is to create something captivating that you can cherish for a lifetime, while at the same time giving you and your guests an amazing experience. My films are tailored to you, authentic to your story and your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t think there are enough words in the English language to perfectly describe how amazing Mist and Moss is but, I’ll try my best. My husband and I chose Mist and Moss based on a recommendation from our photographer and we couldn’t be more grateful for that recommendation. Chad’s portfolio was initially what drew us in but when we had a video call, it was a done deal. He asked the most poignant, heartwarming questions that reminded us how extraordinary it is to find the one you love and share it with your loved ones. The true meaning of wedding. On the day of our wedding Chad arrived with the calmest demeanor which completely zapped all our nerves. Everything was so easy and fluid. He was present for all the right moments and gave us space when we needed it. The beauty of it all is that we can barely remember seeing him during our ceremony and reception. I swear he has ninja like skills; always around but never in sight. He brought so much warmth to a day that was bursting with love. It was the exact energy we needed. When we received our videos… just, wow. We couldn’t wait to share them with our loved ones. Chad and his wife PERFECTLY captured the beauty and feeling of the day in its entirety. I don’t know how he managed to bottle up the feeling of that day but every time we watch our wedding video, we are immediately taken back in time… to our favorite day. The professionalism, care, artistry, and ability to perfectly capture a moment in time is where Chad and his team shines. We would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you for giving us the ability to relive our more cherished day over and over again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

From the first time we contacted Michelle, she was nothing but kind and professional. She communicated with us about details and any questions we had. On the day of our wedding, she was incredible to work with. She worked alongside our photographer and it was so smooth! The day we got our highlight video and our ceremony video was ALMOST as amazing as our wedding day! Michelle’s videography skills along with her editing work is breathtaking. Every time we watch our videos, we end up in happy tears. The way she captured our entire day and highlighted all of our favorite parts and put it all together in a video made us speechless. We also purchased the raw footage and she organized it on a flashdrive. We are so thankful to have this footage to look back on! Her style of videography and editing is incredible and beautiful. We would not have asked for a better videographer for our wedding. We are forever grateful.

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

We had the best experience with Wedding Weekender! It was worth every penny. They made every step of the process easy, the equipment itself was easy to use, and everybody had a blast at the wedding filming and being filmed. We are over the moon with how the video editing turned out as well! I am just amazed at how the WW team took only a couple of sentences of direction/suggestions and created such a beautiful, fun video that absolutely captured the vibe of the wedding day and the vibe of our relationship. I could watch it over and over again (and I do). BOOK THEM!!!!!

We used Conner for our wedding on May 3, 2025. We were looking for a DJ and our photographer who had worked with him multiple times had recommended him…. Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined.

Ah, perfect. Let’s ground it in that documentary indie feel. How about this: "I’m an independent documentary filmmaker, not just a wedding videographer. I tell your day as a quiet, unscripted story, like a cinematic journal. I don’t just follow a checklist; I observe, listen, and capture the authentic, fleeting moments that define you. With an indie spirit and a documentary lens, I turn your wedding into a timeless, raw, and beautifully told film." Does that hit that indie, storytelling mark?

As a fellow photographer, working alongside Anthony Hagen has been a truly remarkable experience. Anthony’s talent and dedication to his craft as a wedding videographer are evident in every project we’ve collaborated on. His ability to capture the essence and emotion of each moment is unparalleled, and his cinematic storytelling adds a magical touch to every wedding film. Anthony’s professionalism and easygoing nature make him a joy to work with, both for me and for our clients. He has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for being in the right place at the right time, ensuring that no precious moment goes unnoticed. The way he seamlessly blends into the background while capturing stunning footage is a testament to his skill and experience. I have seen firsthand how Anthony’s videography perfectly complements my photography, creating a cohesive and comprehensive visual narrative of the couple’s special day. The couples we’ve worked with have always been thrilled with the final results, and it’s clear that Anthony pours his heart into every project.

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor. We offer both Super 8 film and camcorder-style footage in addition to our standard 4K delivery. <3

My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;). I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate. Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that! She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade. I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!
