Experience
Instead of long uncut videos, we produce emotional, well edited, unique short films that encapsulate your day. We create a film that you'll be proud to show to absolutely everyone. When you say, "do you want to watch my wedding video?" people won't be thinking they'll have to sit through 3 hours of footage your uncle shot on a camcorder.
We create works of art that not only our couples love, but that we genuinely love! We have taken the time to learn our craft and spent the time in film school learning how to best create good quality work. We want to take the time to learn about you as a couple. So let's grab some coffee, chat, and see how we can create the perfect wedding film that you'll cherish.
At Dave and a Camera, we believe your wedding day is more than just a series of moments—it's the beginning of a beautiful story. We’re here to help you relive that story, in all its authentic, heartfelt, and joyful details. From the first look to the final dance, our goal is to create a cinematic experience that feels as unique and personal as your love story.

FAQS
-
Well besides being hilarious, nothing. (*insert laughter*)
Well sometimes our jokes land. We believe there are little things that make us different but two big reasons is our years of experience. We’ve filmed hundreds of weddings all over the world and have seen every situation and are prepared for it all. Secondly we don’t just push record on the camera and hope it looks good. We know the ins and outs of our cameras and how to get the footage to look the best, and the audio to sound the best. We don't settle for being mediocre and neither should you!
-
Yes, yes, and definitely yes.
We love getting to work alongside photographers to capture the wedding day and create great work that our clients will love. We’ve heard it all and know people want their photos and their content as quickly as possible. Video hands down is the best way to relive your wedding day. You can flip through an album or see your photos hanging on the wall but getting to sit down and watch your film and truly relive your wedding day is an unforgettable experience. Hearing the vows you spoke to your spouse, or hearing the speech your dad gave will be memories you'll cherish years down the road. Immediately it may not seem like it’s necessary but we promise you’ll regret not getting it. We’ve heard it 100 times from people who wish they would have gotten video.

No, but that's a good thing, and here's why. By selecting music that must be licensed we not only find unique music for your wedding film, but it means we take the time to find the perfect music. We have a few websites that we spend many hours searching through to find the perfect song(s) for your wedding film. Getting music from these sites allows us to not only find music that is unique, but it also keeps us protected! Keeping us protected allows us to support artists and their music the right way. PLUS the sites we use have great unique artists and not only do we love getting to support them in their craft, but it makes the music for your wedding film unique to you!

We truly believe in having a small footprint at weddings. We want to film your wedding the very best we can but we don't want to bring a full Hollywood production crew because that would be very intrusive! But the good thing is that we can still create that amazing Hollywood type film for you with a smaller crew. We use Sony mirrorless cinema cameras. We also bring a variety of lenses with us that allow us to be up close for certain shots and far away for others! Depending on the venue and wedding we will bring our drone to get aerial shots as well!
-
Yes! We've been all over the United States and travel international as well. We've been to Los Angeles, USVI, NY, Colorado, Texas, Indianapolis, and many more! We love to travel and want to create the best work no matter if it's a local or destination wedding! Whether the wedding is a destination for you or for your guests, we'll gladly make the trip to capture the wedding!

We are usually at weddings for about 8-10 hours and that's a lot of footage to go through. Going through all of it is not only a huge task by itself, but we usually spend a good 15-20 hours alone searching for the perfect music for your video! Then comes the editing process which we like to take our time on, to make sure that we don't rush the wedding film. We want to create the best product possible for each of our couples, and that takes time. We do get a teaser video out within the first 48 hours to give our couples a sneak peek! A wedding film usually takes 12-14 weeks to complete and get it to our couples. But oh man is it worth it!
“If you’re looking for the best wedding videographer AND an awesome person to have around on your special day, look no further!!! Dave exceeded our expectations with the video he made for us and we had such a blast hanging out with him on our wedding day. He has become a friend for life and we will forever be thankful for the gift he gave us in capturing the best day of our lives. ”
