elements of the experience
Whether you'd simply like moments captured at your rehearsal party or want your whole weekend documented, I'd love to chat options with you!
WEEKEND COVERAGE
The BEST way to capture all those epic scenes to add to your wedding film – we'll schedule this on a separate day from the wedding so we can have intentional time to capture the best footage!
ADVENTURE SESSION
Due to the varying nature of wedding films, not every moment I capture will make the cut into your final film – but if you'd like to watch every clip I filmed, this option is available as an add-on!
RAW FOOTAGE
Want to go back and watch your wedding ceremony in it's entirety? I offer full ceremony edits with multiple camera angles to capture every moment for you.
CEREMONY EDIT
Think of this as a movie trailer for your wedding film – the perfect hype-everyone-up cinematic teaser film to build anticipation and excitement for your full wedding film.

Where I’ve been. Where I’m going.
travel schedule
Abso-freaking-lutely. My favorite projects are ones where I get to spend more than one day with my couples, and I LOVE it when couples add an extra shooting day. These extra days help relieve stress on the wedding day (there's no pressure to record the narration or even take time away from family and friends to shoot "portraits") and allow us to really focus on showcasing them and their story in the best way possible. I'd highly encourage couples to add an extra day!
Can we add a day-after or day-before filming session to add content to our film?
Teaser films are delivered within the first 2 weeks after the wedding, with the full film getting delivered about 3-4 months after the wedding.
When can we expect our film?
This is an available option, but I typically shoot weddings alone. Over the past years, I've developed a style that allows me to confidently film weddings by myself – all the weddings you see on my portfolio were filmed solo and I feel very comfortable approaching a wedding day this way. However, if you're hosting a large celebration or need a lot of extra add-ons, I'm absolutely able and willing to hire other creatives to help assist if needed.
Do you use second shooters?
I want to capture you in your most authentic, raw form and so my style is built around having conversations with you on the shoot that evoke real emotion. That way, you get your images back and go “oh my gosh, that’s SO us!” and don’t simply say “wow, those are beautiful.” That being said, I totally understand that most people are uncomfortable in front of the camera so I’ll absolutely help direct and guide you in unique ways to showcase your personality and style – don’t worry, I got you.
What is your take on posing/directing?
I’m based out of the Grand Rapids area of West Michigan, but I’ve shot all over the country and internationally and love adventuring with my couples! My favorite locations are national parks, anywhere I have access to the ocean, some amazing mountains, or wherever your love story takes us.
Where are you located? Do you travel?
“Josh exceeded our expectations.”
“So glad one of our friends recommended us to Josh. He made us feel SO comfortable and peaceful on our wedding day. It can be so nerve racking to hire someone for your most precious day- but Josh exceeded our expectations. He was so responsive and accommodating, especially during this crazy time. You won't be disappointed if you hire him!!”
