Capturing real emotion and authentic moments
A Bespoke Wedding Film Experience
Capturing Authentic Moments, Preserving Irreplaceable Memories
Of all the life events that shape us, few are as monumental as the day you get married. It’s a moment filled with joy, love, and anticipation—a pivotal point that marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life, one you’ll want to remember and cherish for years to come. Yet, as time passes, even the most vivid details begin to fade, no matter how hard you try to hold on to them.
That’s where the power of preserving your wedding memories comes in. It’s not just about having a video to watch on anniversaries—it’s about capturing the essence of that day in a way that allows you to relive it again and again. It’s about reconnecting with the joy, excitement, and love you felt in those fleeting moments, experiencing it as though it’s happening all over again.
And that’s where we come in. Our goal is to capture your wedding day in an authentic and unobtrusive way—preserving real emotions and intimate moments with you, your friends, and your family, without being a distraction. Every couple is unique, and we take the time to understand your personal vision and style, ensuring your wedding film is a true reflection of who you are.
Your wedding film team
We're the Feisters!
Pronounced “FEEster”! Ryan is the videographer (the one who shows up on your wedding day) and Jenn is the administrative coordinator (the one who works with you through our planning process). We got married in Virginia in 2015 and have 2 sweet girls, Kyleigh and Madeline (videographers in training!).
Ryan has been a full-time videographer and photographer since 2017. Initially focusing on humanitarian and non-profit photography and filmmaker, and then eventually moving into weddings and elopements. His work has taken him around the U.S. and to over 20 countries, with the unbelievable privilege of telling people’s stories!
Family is so important to us. That’s a huge reason we left our 9-5 jobs to pursue this career together. Not only do we get to be more present for our girls, but we have the privilege of making sure the intimate moments with your family and friends get documented for generations to enjoy!

The average investment for a wedding film package typically ranges between $5,000 and $7,000.
Our comprehensive wedding packages start with 8 hours of coverage, two videographers, drone footage, a Sneak Peek Film, a Cinematic Highlight Film, and a full Documentary Film. From there, we offer a variety of add-ons to tailor the package to your specific needs. We strive to provide our couples with everything they need to relive and cherish their wedding day, which is why we don’t generally offer smaller or abbreviated packages.
For elopements and destination weddings, we offer customizable options based on the coverage and experience you’re looking for.
With a background in humanitarian aid videography, I have developed a “run-and-gun” documentary style that emphasizes authenticity and real-life moments. At the same time, I have a passion for the dramatic and cinematic, which allows me to blend both styles in my wedding films. My focus is always on capturing your unique story and intimate moments, while delivering a visually stunning, cinematic experience.
Absolutely! My cameras record to two memory cards simultaneously, so if one card gets corrupted during filming, I have an immediate backup. After your wedding, I transfer all the footage to two local hard drives and also back it up to the cloud for added security. Additionally, I have enough SD cards to cover three weddings, ensuring I don’t format the cards used for your wedding for several weeks, just to be extra cautious.
Yes! While we are based in Virginia, we are more than happy to travel anywhere—passport ready! Ryan has filmed in over 20 countries, both as a wedding and humanitarian filmmaker, and is always excited to capture love stories around the world.
“Ryan is absolutely amazing!! I cannot recommend him enough. His work is incredible. All of our friends and family were blown away by how well our wedding films were put together. The films he created are like mini movies of our wedding day and it is so beautiful. Ryan was constantly watching during our wedding day to capture every special moment. He was truly everywhere all the time and it shows in our films. Throughout our wedding day, he assisted our photographer in moving props so they could both capture the perfect shots. Ryan was so kind and moved so quick to film every detail. From start to finish, Ryan and Jenn were wonderful to work with. They had a questionnaire for us to let them know which shots/moments were extra special to us for Ryan to capture. They genuinely wanted to make sure Ryan fulfilled everything we wanted for our wedding films. Ryan and Jenn were always quick to respond to messages and emails. They are both so sweet. Ryan went above and beyond to ensure our films were how we envisioned. I am SO extremely happy we chose Ryan to capture our wedding day!! The films he created are so special to us and we will treasure them. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Ryan. If you are looking for a videographer, look no further!!” – Alexis and Brian
