Hi, I'm Juan! A 26 year old videographer who started 9 years ago to work in the beautiful world of filmmakers, 7 years ago I did my first wedding and it was the most beautiful moment of my career, I cried behind the camera when I saw the couple crying at the ceremony. From that moment on I knew that this would be my specialty, that the importance that every bride and groom put in their wedding would be the same importance that I would put in making every video, every shot, every angle, every color, equally beautiful and important 💍 When you hire me is to hire the best price and the best quality.

His talent, passion, and dedication are undeniable, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. I have no doubt that he will become a sought-after name in the wedding industry, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer or videographer who truly cares about their craft.

We were so lucky to have had Godfred at our wedding. He was incredibly professional from day 1 and made us genuinely laugh and smile (on and off camera). The quality of the video was beyond my expectations and he was able to get our video done sooner than expected. I was looking for a videographer who understood our aesthetic (without making a fake or cheesy wedding video) and who loves what they do. If you can relate… you’re in the right place.

From the pictures to videos, Pao & Ale captured both the big moments, to the small in-between ones, beautifully. They were very open to creative collaboration, and were professional directors to get their shots. Even ended up being our day-of coordinators at times. They let us lose ourselves in the moment, soak it all in, and now re-live it. The ability to adapt day of, and in the edit room with our music and scenes, they are the pros.

Carly from Rhoads to Memories was our videographer for our wedding in June 2023. I met her the previous year when searching for a videographer and we instantly hit it off and felt like friends right away! We spoke regularly and when she found out she was having a baby and her due date was only a few weeks after our wedding I still knew I wanted to stick with her as our videographer. I am so glad it all worked out and she gave birth only 3 days after our wedding. Personally, finding someone who is easy to talk to is one of the most important things when choosing vendors and that is exactly how Carly is! She is real, down to Earth, supportive, and very responsive to messages. Carly even helped sew my husband's suit pants right before our wedding when he had a hole in the seam! Our wedding video turned out amazing and we are so happy to have the memories she captured on film for years to come. Definitely recommend!

I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I'm also a musician and I help craft most of the music in the wedding films I create. I love working with couples that have unique personalities and styles. My work resonates the most with who it's made for, and I always keep that audience in mind.

I was referred to Birch Fields by my cousin (who used Birch Fields for her wedding) 2 weeks before my June 2020 Covid wedding. We decided last minute to have the wedding even if it was just going to be immediate family. Because no extended family or friends were allowed at the time we wanted a way to record the day as if they were there. I had posted I was looking for someone to shoot on a VHS camcorder and film the whole wedding start to finish with no breaks just like old family videos we had growing up. Steven not only was up for the challenge, but spent his whole day capturing every detail of our wedding. We got copies of both 4k and VHS which is so special and cool. We were so impressed and absolutely loved Steven that we have since used him for my Sister-In-Laws baby shower and my Father-In-Laws 70s birthday party. Birch Fields is like family now!

At Wedding Love Film: BRIDAL STUDIO, wedding videography is my passion. With 18 years of experience, I connect deeply with each couple to capture the authentic emotions and unique moments of their wedding day. My all-inclusive service includes personalized consultations, full-day coverage, and beautifully edited films on a custom USB—no travel fees. Let’s create a wedding film that reflects your love story in a way you’ll cherish forever.

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

Steve was the most perfect videographer from day one. Not only is he instrumental in his profession, but excels in prompt communication and compassion. If I had an issue, he had a solution. If I had a request, my demand was met. Due to scheduling conflicts, I had to have my rehearsal two days before my wedding. He drove something like 4 hours round trip to be there!! It was refreshing to see him talking/introducing himself to my family, seeing if they had any questions and just making sure we all felt comfortable and prepared for the big day. Steve was just as excited to be there as we were, and that means a lot. He wasn’t there just to take videos, he always went above and beyond for us in any way possible. He was there offering sage advice, making suggestions to improve flow and ensured he exceeded every expectation I had. Not only was he the perfect videographer up to the wedding and the day of, but he released our highlight 3 days after!! The rest of the videos were shipped to us by the time we were home from our honeymoon. The turnaround was impeccable, and the videos were stunning. His attention to the little things made re-watching the videos that much more exciting. The day goes by quickly, but I’m so thankful we had Steve there to capture every detail of my favorite day EVER. Thank you, Steve.

While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Visual Reflection Video was one of the best wedding videographers I've ever worked with! Their communication was consistent, prompt and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing - they were so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. When our photographer no-showed, the videographer took the initiative to use his own camera to capture some getting ready photos of us, even though it wasn't in our contract. He really took control of the situation and made me not worry about a thing. Visual Reflection Video will exceed your expectations and deliver an incredible final product that you'll treasure forever!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

Priceless Memories is a Videography team dedicated to filming weddings. We strive to revive key moments and feelings through the art of cinematography displaying the tender actions of love. Making sure that the couples we meet along our journey are satisfied is the absolute priority, so we are always upgrading and evolving to bring the best quality and experience at the moment of capturing "The Big day".

We were thrilled with our wedding videographer, Juan Brea with Priceless Memories. His communication throughout the planning process was perfect - he responded quickly to emails and phone calls, offered creative suggestions when we were unsure about certain details, and made us feel at ease. On the big day, they arrived early and worked seamlessly with our photographer to beautifully capture all of the special moments without ever feeling intrusive. The quality of their work is truly perfect and an incredible value. Every special detail was artfully included, from the venue decor to our first dance to the hilarious speeches. It's clear how much care they put into understanding our vision and bringing it to life on film to treasure forever. We can't say enough wonderful things about working with Priceless Memories - they were organized, talented, and an absolute joy.

Films by Emelie

I grew up in a small town on the west coast of Sweden and while my heart will always long for the ocean breeze, I have made Indiana my home together with my husband, Ryan, and our three children, Felix, Axel and Elinora. I specialize in wedding films that capture all those fleeting moments; the nerves, the excitement, the happy tears, the joy, and the pure love unfolding on one of the most special days of your life.

Emelie is a dream to work with! She takes time to get to know you as a couple and really customizes her work to be as unique as the couple. We are already in love with our teaser film and footage she captured during our engagement session. She is so thoughtful and kind as well, which makes us feel so good entrusting her to capture our wedding! Thank you Emelie!!!
