I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

They provided exceptional and caring photography services from start to finish and produce a beautifully captured 5 minute highlight reel from our wedding day. We could not be more pleased with the Fourth Photography services and visual production. Thank you!

Hi! This is Andi, a videographer who, after 7 years of making news documentaries and nonprofit videos for social causes, decided to step into wedding films. My documentary works have won the Telly Awards, New York Festivals Gold Awards, and a NY Emmy. Currently serving couples in the Washington D.C. metro area and beyond. You can find pricing and package info on my website.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer for our wedding! From start to finish, Andi was professional, dedicated, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring that our special day was captured beautifully. Right after we signed the contract, she sent us a detailed questionnaire to get to know us as a couple—our story, our style, and the specific moments we wanted to highlight. This level of preparation reassured us that she truly cared about making the video personal and meaningful. About a month before the wedding, she proactively reached out to request the venue’s floor plan, demonstrating her commitment to planning ahead and making sure every shot was perfectly thought out. On the wedding day, Andi arrived an hour early to get familiar with the space and even took some breathtaking outdoor shots before the festivities began. Her presence was so natural and unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the day while she captured everything seamlessly. Throughout the event, she worked tirelessly to document not just the big moments but also the little details and emotions that made our wedding unique. One of the things that makes Andi truly stand out is her background as a former reporter and documentary filmmaker. Her storytelling skills are evident in every frame—she has a keen eye for capturing genuine emotions and weaving them together into a narrative that feels raw, real, and deeply personal. She didn’t just record our wedding; she told our story in the most beautiful and authentic way. When we received our wedding video, we were absolutely blown away. It was beyond anything we could have imagined—every moment was beautifully filmed and edited, creating a cinematic and heartfelt masterpiece that we will cherish forever. What truly stood out was Andi’s creative touch—she included interesting and unexpected moments that showcased her artistic eye and deep understanding of human connection. Most importantly, the video felt authentically us—it captured the emotions, the joy, and the essence of our relationship perfectly. We are beyond grateful for Andi’s work, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and passionate wedding videographer. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will go above and beyond to create a stunning wedding film, Andi is the one to choose!

Mist & Moss was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, Chad took the time to get to know us in a meeting, helping us feel completely at ease.

What really stood out was how comfortable Chad made everyone feel and how he hyped up the energy at the wedding. His creativity in capturing the vibe of the day was unmatched. From the candid moments to the beautifully staged shots, every single frame felt purposeful and reflective of our unique celebration. The final wedding video? Pure magic. It’s so beautifully produced that it brings tears to my eyes every single time I watch it. Chad and his team truly exceeded every expectation we had.

They offer a dedicated streaming service which means that anyone who can’t attend the big day can still experience the fun online.

Our video/streaming package went off without a hitch, and Brian even offered to tack on a little extra coverage after our ceremony. The turnaround time was extraordinarily quick, and absolutely perfect! It was just the extra touch we needed to have our families from afar be able to take part in our day!

We had an absolutely seamless experience with our wedding videographer from start to finish. The entire process was easy, and on the big day, they were so discreet we hardly noticed them—yet the amount of stunning content they captured was truly remarkable. The videos they produced allow us to relive our wedding day again and again, and each time it brings back the same emotions. Choosing them was the best decision we made, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and talented videographer!

Every couple is different and we strive to create something with you that truly reflects that. From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor. We offer both Super 8 film and camcorder-style footage in addition to our standard 4K delivery. <3

Working with Cat as our videographer was an absolute joy! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was not only incredibly talented but also a wonderful person to have by our side on our wedding day. Her easygoing nature made it so comfortable to be around her, and she truly felt like part of our celebration. Cat always had a smile on her face, which radiated positivity throughout the day. She captured every moment with such deliberate ease, making it all feel effortless. From the glimpses we've seen so far, it’s clear she perfectly encapsulated the overwhelming love, joy, and happiness of our wedding. You can genuinely feel the emotion in her film, bringing those precious moments back to life for us. We are especially grateful for Cat's suggestion to add on Super 8 film before the wedding; we had so much fun with it throughout the day and know that it will add such a beautiful and personal touch to our final video. We can’t wait to see the full film to relive our day again, knowing it will be a cherished keepsake that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you, Cat, for your incredible work and for capturing our day so beautifully!
