Hey, I’m Jake

I pride myself in my ability to authentically capture the emotions, details, and personalities of your wedding day and create a cinematic wedding film that not only highlights your day but tells your love story.

With each wedding film, my goal is to tell your story in a unique and beautiful way that honors and captures your relationship, your energy, your style, and what your day was all about. Relive the joy, laughter, and tears of your wedding day, preserving those cherished memories for a lifetime.

I have a documentary approach to every wedding and session I shoot…meaning I do not “create” and “fix” moments -  I capture them exactly as they happen. While I do give prompts, direction, and guidance, I find that posing the people and surroundings for a video takes away from creating and re-living an experience. If you value the real and unscripted, and you want your story documented in a way that preserves and highlights its authenticity, we may just be the perfect fit.

🎥 Wedding Film in 4k

Your 4K wedding video is something couples will cherish for many years to come, and years down the line the quality of that video is going to matter.

Travel

Each wedding package includes travel for weddings within a two hour travel distance from Greenville, NC - where I am based. When traveling 2+ hours for videography coverage, clients are responsible for covering the cost of overnight rooming for myself (and Ziva team members if applicable) at the location that I select for the duration I need. It is a priority that I arrive early in order to properly prepare for your wedding day and avoid any travel hiccups that may occur! When traveling long distances (ie. out of state, across country, internationally, etc.), additional travel costs may apply for plane tickets, mileage, additional nights of rooming, meals, etc.. These costs will be clearly defined when booking.

FAQs

  • If everything seems like a good fit, we can write up a contract regarding the details of your package. A minimum deposit of 30% of the final contracted price will secure your date as well as an electronically signed contract. Unfortunately, because of the number of inquiries, I cannot hold dates without a deposit.

  • I do not shoot wedding photography, but I have worked with many great photographers who I'd love to suggest.

  • You will receive your sneak peak video no later than 48 hours after your wedding and your highlight film usually between 6-8 weeks after your wedding (unless there are special circumstances).

  • Absolutely! If you are somewhat local and you want to chat face-to-face over a cup of coffee somewhere , that’s great. If it’s best to set up a facetime call, just to ensure that we aren’t strangers on your big day, that’s perfect too!

  • My approach is to be very discrete on your wedding day. The last thing I would want to do is overwhelm you with the presence of a large film crew. This is your wedding, and I want to give you space for calm moments. I usually have a second shooter alongside me so I am able to capture all the footage I need!

  • Sure thing! What we will do is start off with my base package (the bare necessities) and then start adding whatever else you’d like. It’s your wedding day, you get what you want, amen?

  • This is a chronological edit of all the RAW clips as shot throughout the day. The footage remains as it was captured, retaining all details, true colors, and lighting. It’s the perfect way to see every moment of the day. I deliver the footage to you on an external flash drive.

  • This is a short narrative film that can be shown during the rehearsal dinner or reception, used as a digital “Save-the-Date,” or simply a keepsake for you and your partner. You pick the theme and location. This is a unique way to capture how you and your partner fell in love and are a blast to film!

  • This is a beautiful linen-bound wedding video book embossed with your names and wedding date on the front. Simply open the cover and your wedding video will come to life!
