Affordable Wedding Videography in Mid Michigan starting at $2495
I am a man that enjoys history. Far too often, we are completely unaware of ours. Video is relatively new as a mainstream staple in our society and we still don't fully appreciate it's value. My mission, and that of Gilded Heart Films, is to educate couples that work with me on the less thought of benefits of video. 8 generations from now, will they know who you were? Who your family was? Will you fade into obscurity?
I approach weddings not just as someone who believes in their faith as a Christian, but from a standpoint of legacy. Showing off your party is great, but our loved ones are all that matters in the end. To this end, this is why we film!
Why do we film?
We donate a portion of proceeds to Compassion International, a Christian based non-profit organization that helps kids around the world living in extreme poverty and vulnerable positions. We would like to achieve an ultimate goal of sponsoring 5 kids a year which would amount to one booked package at our current prices!
A Faith Based Company
I have been to almost all states across America through many personal life experiences, and for work. If you have an elopement coming up outside of Michigan, I'd love to chat about covering it and exploring with you!
AN ADVENTURER
I have two fur babies - Coacoa & Winky.
