Documentary Wedding Films

Some things are better remembered in motion

Your Wedding Only Happens Once

The photographs will help you remember how it looked.
The film lets you remember how it felt.

"This is a keepsake we will treasure for the rest of our lives."

Documentary approach

Not made for social media. Made to hold for generations.

I don’t want your wedding to feel like a production.

Most of the day, I’m observing rather than directing. I’ll step in when it helps, then get out of the way when it doesn’t.

The goal isn’t to manufacture moments for the film. It’s to make something from the moments that were already there.

The Films

Two ways of remembering the day.

The Documentary Film

Your wedding day, preserved as it happened.

Something to Share

A brief reflection on the feeling of the day.

Camcorder weddings are awesome

There’s something about a camcorder that makes everyone loosen up.

It’s imperfect, immediate, and a little chaotic. Which is usually where the good stuff is.

Camcorder footage is included in every wedding.

From the journal

Weddings, films, experiments, and things worth remembering.

Mitchell Gaston

Filmmaker

I’m a filmmaker, which mostly means I spend a lot of time watching people and trying to notice the things other people might miss.

I’ve been filming weddings for more than a decade, and what I’m most interested in are the parts of the day that aren’t really “wedding videography”. Your friends being idiots, your dad talking to somebody in the kitchen, the nervous moments before the ceremony, and the stuff that happens when nobody thinks the camera is there.

Based in Indianapolis. Available wherever the day takes me.
