About Chad Whelan

Chad Whelan

Owner + Principal Shooter

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid! Specializing in short form wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my short form videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice narration throughout the entire video.

I have been full-time in the wedding industry for over 20 years. I am always the primary shooter, editor + handle every single element of my business. I do not have employees or hire subcontractors, it is always me on your wedding day! Take a look at my work and if you like what you see I would love to set up a call and talk in much more detail. I am based in central CT with no travel charges throughout most of CT, MA, RI and parts of NY.

    Chad did an incredible job with our videos! He captured the small, candid, moments of the day and turned it into incredible videos that we will cherish forever! I hardly noticed him all day - he was very behind the scenes yet upon receiving the videos we saw how he captured every beautiful moment of the day in such a wonderful light! His artistry, attention to detail, kindness, professionalism, and videographer skills are incredible! We are forever grateful for sharing his craft with us! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic videographer!!

    Chad did an amazing job on our wedding video! Nothing beats being able to look back on our wedding day whenever we want and see all of the details of the beautiful day again! The way the video was shot and edited is beautiful and we love it! We can’t thank Chad enough & highly recommend booking him for your wedding video!

  • Would highly recommend!

    Chad was extremely easy to work with and super responsive during the planning process! I wasn't looking for every single part of the day to be recorded, and he was super willing to accommodate to what I wanted. My husband talked to Chad a lot during our wedding and kept saying how kind he was! Would highly recommend!

    CHAD! We are so lucky to have had you as our videographer - fun and chill to be around, professional, and our teaser was delivered to us so quickly. We love that Chad's style is organic and natural and not of the "posing" nature - he truly captures moments without stopping what you're doing and that is what us two brides were looking for. Thank you, Chad for coming to our rescue when we needed you most, great communication, prompt responses, just overall gave us the attention and professionalism we were looking for. Looking forward to our short film delivery soon! K C
