We approach weddings as a creative production rather than a simple shoot. Every project begins with intentional pre-planning, including wardrobe review, hair and makeup alignment, storyboarding, and timeline collaboration so the day has structure without feeling staged. Our team works across both photo and video, with drone coverage and content creation built into the process, allowing us to capture real moments efficiently while delivering cohesive, thoughtfully crafted media.

I've worked with Nick of Ageless Media dozens of times over the last 7 years, and he's consistently provided exceptional videography services. Their communication is always timely, specific, and thorough, which helps keep the wedding day running smoothly. The quality of their work is truly professional, with a thoughtful and intentional approach that captures all the special moments. Nick and his team have a magnetic personality that keeps things light and the day moving with confidence.

I’m a wedding videographer with a passion for capturing real, emotional, and timeless moments. I believe your wedding film should feel just like you authentic, beautiful, and filled with all the little details that make your story unique. Every couple has their own vibe, and my goal is to document your day in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and meaningful so you can relive it for years to come.

Hired them because I saw some of the videos Lenoy made online, and ours is exactly what I wanted! He and the photographers know exactly what they're doing so I didn't have to plan very much, they're very easy to work with, made sure we got the shots we wanted, and took photos unobtrusively during the ceremony, which is also something I wanted. I would definitely recommend - it's a great price for really amazing quality.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. That is the most distinguishing feature about my work. While, I craft my 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/guests is what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. I customize each wedding video I create to fit the couple I'm working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Gordon was so nice to work with! He also was always checking on me throughout the day. the photographers of course will lead the way throughout the day and Gordon made sure he was capturing more natural things. We received all our footage so quickly! Gordon also cares about giving the best product to his clients and that’s something I really appreciated about him. The product was amazing and so flawless.

If you’re envisioning a film that does more than just document, but truly embodies the emotion and magic of your beginning, we would be so honored to tell your story.

Hiring Jodi for our wedding was one of the greatest decisions we made for our big day. From the moment she arrived, she brought joy and pure talent that instantly made us feel relaxed and taken care of. Jodi didn’t just take photos—she captured every emotion, every detail, and every unforgettable moment in a way that still blows us away. The way she sees light, angles, and spontaneous moments is next level. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine, yet still feel completely natural and true to us. She’s incredibly easy to work with, gives amazing directions, and has this magical ability to make everyone feel comfortable—even the people who “never take good pictures.” Spoiler: with Jodi, they do!! Our family and friends keep talking about how beautiful our photos are and how great Jodi was throughout the entire day. She blended in effortlessly, kept everything running smoothly, and delivered memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. If you’re able to book Jodi, do it. She’s worth every penny and then some. We feel so lucky to have had her capture our wedding. 1000% recommend. Jodi is truly the best.
