Your story, set in the San Juans. I live in Telluride and film weddings from Ophir to Ouray, from the first button of the dress to the last song.
One day, six chapters
Getting ready
1:30 PM / I
Soft window light, lace, cowboy boots, and your mom on the last button. The calm before everyone shows up.
3:45 PM / II
The first look. Groomsmen who can't stand still. The dog in the flower collar.
5:00 PM / III
Two cameras, with mics on you and your officiant, so every word of the vows comes through clean.
6:30 PM / IV
Your dad, the best man, a video from the friend who couldn't make it. Every speaker mic'd, every word kept.
7:50 PM / V
The sun drops behind the ridge and the valley goes gold. Twenty minutes, just the two of you.
9:30 PM / VI
The first dance turns into everyone's dance. Grandparents on the floor, a tunnel of hands on the way out, and I'm there for the last song.
The Films
Every one of these was filmed within an hour of Telluride. Put on headphones. The audio is half the film.
Coverage & Investment, 2027 Season
Pick your hours, then slide the window to where your day actually happens. Whatever falls inside it ends up in your film.
Your guests didn't fly into the San Juans for one evening. The welcome dinner, the late night and the quiet morning after are part of the story too.
Your estimate
$4,000
Additional coverage on the day is $250 an hour. Films delivered within an estimated 8 to 10 weeks.
How it comes together
A real conversation about how you picture the day: the people who matter most, the traditions you're keeping, the moments you'd hate to lose. The film gets built around that.
Before the wedding I walk the timeline with your photographer and planner. Where each of us stands for the vows, when the light is best, how long the walk to the ridge really takes.
Everyone knows the plan, so nobody is in anyone's shot and nothing gets missed. You get to be completely present. I'll keep the rest.
Behind the camera
I live in Telluride and spend most of my days filming these mountains. It turns out to be the right training for weddings here. I know where the light falls at 7:50 on a July evening, which ridgelines a drone can legally fly, and how long it really takes to get from the gondola to the meadow in a dress.
On the day I work quietly, and I don't stage moments. The goal is that you forget I'm there until you watch the film.
Questions
For the 2027 season, Keepsake is $3,000 for six hours of coverage, Essentials is $3,500 for seven, and Feature is $4,000 for eight. Each includes a 3 to 5 minute cinematic film and drone aerials where permitted. Full Story is $5,000 for ten hours and adds multi-camera coverage, a one minute highlight reel within two weeks, and full ceremony and toast films.
I'm based in Telluride and film all over the San Juan Mountains: Telluride, Mountain Village, Ophir, Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton and the high country between them. If your wedding is somewhere else in Colorado or beyond, ask. I'm happy to travel.
Summer and early fall Saturdays in Telluride go first. Many couples reach out 9 to 12 months ahead, but it's always worth asking about your date, even if it's soon.
Afternoon storms are part of a mountain summer. We plan a covered backup with your planner ahead of time, and some of the best footage happens in the weather. Kate and Adam said their vows under clear umbrellas.
Always. I walk the timeline with both before the wedding and plan camera positions for the vows, the first look and the toasts, so nobody ends up in anyone else's shot.
Within an estimated 8 to 10 weeks of the wedding. Full Story couples get a one minute highlight reel within two weeks, so there's something to share while the full film is being cut.
You're welcome to send songs you love and ones you don't. Final music, pacing and shot selection are a creative call, and everything is properly licensed so your film can live on social without getting muted.
Usually, yes. Drone aerials are included wherever the venue and airspace allow. Some spots in and around Telluride restrict flights, and I'll check yours before the day.
The recap is your day told in three to five minutes, set to music. The full ceremony and full toasts films are the complete, unedited moments with clean audio, the ones you'll rewatch on anniversaries.
You book directly with me. A 40% retainer holds your date, and the remaining balance is due 30 days before the wedding. Weekend coverage can be added any time.
Yes. Everything shot on the day, delivered on an SSD, for $500 plus the cost of the storage drive.
