SEATTLE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER • PUGET SOUND & THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Your Seattle wedding, filmed so you can hear it all again  the vows, the toasts, the forty years after.

You get one day with everyone you love in one room. As your Seattle wedding videographer and photography team, we make sure the voices and the light outlast the day itself — rain plan included.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You've watched a dozen wedding films online, and they've started to blur together — drone shot, slow-motion kiss, the same song. Would any of them actually sound like your people?

You're pretty sure photos won't be enough. You want to hear your dad's toast again. And your own voice, shaking a little, mid-vow.

You're planning around Seattle weather — the glorious dry stretch of July and August, or a moodier date that needs a real rain plan — and you want a film team that doesn't flinch either way.

It's not your fault every videographer's reel looks the same. Yours won't — because yours is built from what actually happens.

With cinematic videography and photography handled by one coordinated team, you'll relive your wedding day on loop — and one day, you'll press play for your kids and grandkids and let them hear it too.

  1. You want your vows to outlive the bouquet.

    A photograph holds the look on his face. Film holds what you actually said. We mic you both, capture clean audio of your vows and toasts, and weave those words through your film — so the promises are still hearable on your fortieth anniversary.

  2. You want the robe-and-champagne morning on film, not just in a photo.

    Hair half-done, your best friends laughing, the playlist only your group chat understands. We plan a styled pre-ceremony session with you ahead of time — never a rushed snapshot on the way out the door. Planning makes this footage, not budget.

  3. You love a wedding film with a point of view.

    Vintage cars, editorial styling, a ferry crossing, a foggy Puget Sound overlook — bring it on. We shoot documentary coverage all day, but our signature work happens in pre-planned couples' sessions, where we take real time getting you both comfortable on camera. (Grooms, we're looking at you.)

  4. You want to feel natural on camera before the big day.

    Our stylized 1–2 hour engagement sessions turn camera-shy into camera-confident — at a Seattle-area spot you love, from Discovery Park's bluffs to a foggy stretch of coast. When your wedding day arrives, being filmed will feel easy.

  5. You want a bold, editorial look — not a cheeseball highlight reel.

    A gray-weather ceremony shouldn't mean a gray-looking film. Elevated editing and professional color work are included in every package, and we shoot digital deliberately — it holds detail in fog, drizzle, and dark ballrooms that other formats lose.

  6. You want someone fighting for your film time.

    Photo and film time is the first thing cut when a schedule runs late. We've watched it happen at weddings where we were hired for video alone. So we start earlier, stay longer, and advocate for your coverage with your coordinator. Most of our couples book 10–12 hours, because that's where the once-in-a-lifetime footage comes from.

Prefer a silent, invisible crew and Super 8 nostalgia? No hard feelings — book us for photography only instead. ;)

The Engagement Session Promise

Here's the honest problem with hiring a Seattle wedding videographer: a ninety-second reel can make anyone look good. So skip the guessing and come shoot with us first — an engagement session, at no cost. If you don't love your engagement photos and footage, don't book us for the wedding. No invoice, no hard feelings, no follow-up pressure.

Every couple who has taken us up on this has booked the wedding. We're not worried either.

All-In-One Convenience

Hiring us means one calm, coordinated team handling both your film and your photos. Fewer vendors to manage. No dueling cameras on the dance floor. One style across your gallery and your highlight film.

Book photography and film together and you save $1,000 — and your engagement session is included.

One team means one contract and one timeline, with a single look across everything you receive. A solo crew genuinely costs less to run — so booking both keeps $1,000 in your honeymoon fund. Ferry to the San Juans, anyone? Your engagement session is part of the deal.

How this works

  1. Check your date. Tell us when and where — Seattle proper, the Eastside, an island with a ferry schedule — and we'll send full pricing and availability within two business days.
  2. Meet us first. A consultation or your free engagement session, so you know exactly how it feels to have our cameras around before you commit to anything.
  3. Live your wedding. We'll handle capturing it — drizzle plan and all.

Don't choose us from a website. Come shoot with us first, at no cost. Love your engagement photos, or don't book us for the wedding — no invoice, no hard feelings.

It's hard to know who to choose. Try us out in an engagement session at no cost. Don't like your engagement photos? Don't hire us for your wedding! We're not worried — everyone who has taken us up on this offer has hired us for their wedding.

We're not the cheapest studio working Seattle weddings, and we won't pretend to be. Investment starts at $4,000 for photography and $7,000 for photography and videography. You're trusting us with the one day that can't be re-shot — that's where the money goes.

Hi, I'm J.D.

— and yes, Wildwood is a small studio, not a volume operation. I'm a former teacher: classrooms from Texas to the Bronx before cameras, which is why a wedding-day curveball doesn't move my pulse. Since 2019, that calm has covered 150+ weddings across Oregon, Washington, and California — including Washington celebrations at Skamania Lodge, down the Gorge from you. When I'm not filming, I'm belaying my twin daughters at the climbing gym. I'd love to hear what you're planning.

Where we film Seattle-area weddings — and beyond

We're based in Oregon, and we've been filming Washington weddings for years — Skamania Lodge on the Gorge's Washington side is one of our favorites. Seattle and Puget Sound are an easy trip north, and yes, we know what June light at 9 p.m. does to a first dance.

From a waterfront ceremony with the Olympics behind you to a Woodinville barrel room to the Gorge cliffs — the venue changes, the keeping doesn't.

Let's make it happen. Contact us to check availability for your Seattle wedding, get your detailed pricing guide, and see how we'll tell your story in film and photo.

After 150+ weddings, we've never told the same story twice. Your film starts from zero: your venue, your weather, your people.

A Seattle wedding film that keeps everyone's voices alive.

Natalie & Tarek — The Allison Inn & Spa Wedding FilmYouTube

A black-tie ballroom downtown or a wind-soft ceremony above Puget Sound — either way, your film starts with what actually happened, not a shot list borrowed from someone else's wedding.

Here's what makes it an heirloom: the interviews. Before the dance floor fills up, we sit your people down on camera — maid of honor, grandfather, the college roommate who introduced you two — and hit record.

You can't be in every room on your wedding day. These interviews catch what you'd otherwise miss — the stories your people tell about you when you're not there.

Game for more? We also interview couples — the story of how you met, and what this love has made of you.

Hybrid shooting makes room for all of it. One of us covers details on photo and video at once, so someone is always free to record your maid of honor's story instead of duplicating the same angle.

Then the edit brings it home: your vows and toasts woven through those voices, the in-between moments kept in. Expect your grandkids to know it by heart.

Seattle wedding videography questions, answered

What kinds of wedding films do you make?

You receive a cinematic highlight film — the piece you'll actually rewatch — plus a full ceremony film so nothing said at the altar is lost. Our heirloom films also weave in on-camera interviews with your loved ones, your vows, and your toasts, so the film sounds like your family, not a stock music track.

Will you capture clear audio of our vows and speeches?

Yes. We mic the ceremony and record dedicated audio of vows and toasts, because those words are the reason most couples hire a videographer at all. Rain or a windy Puget Sound overlook doesn't change that — we plan mic placement and wind protection for Pacific Northwest conditions.

Can we book you for videography only?

Absolutely. You can hire us for videography alone, photography alone, or both. Booking photo and film together saves you $1,000 and includes your engagement session — but if your photographer is booked and you just need film, we're glad to be your video team.

Do you use a drone? Will it work in Seattle weather?

We fly drones where venues and airspace rules allow, and conditions permit — aerials over the Sound or a Gorge property are worth it when we can get them. Seattle drizzle or low cloud may ground the drone; if it does, your ground coverage is unaffected and your film doesn't suffer.

How long until we receive our wedding film?

Every film is individually edited and color-graded — not run through a template — so we confirm your exact delivery window in writing with your pricing guide before you book. You'll get honest expectations up front, and your photos and film arrive through one online gallery.
