Chapter 1: Your Love Story

Before the venue is chosen, before the timeline is created, and before the details of your day begin to take shape, there is your story — how you met, what brought you together, and the life you're preparing to build. Your wedding is not just a celebration of where you’ve been, but the beginning of everything that comes next. That’s why every decision you make should support the story you're stepping into.

Chapter 2: Your Venue

Your venue is more than a location. It becomes the setting where your story unfolds — shaping the atmosphere, the emotion, and the way your day is experienced from beginning to end. From coastal ceremonies along the Carolinas’ shoreline to historic estates, countryside chapels, and mountain vineyard celebrations, the environment you choose becomes part of the memories you’ll return to for years to come. With experience documenting weddings across South and North Carolina, we understand how each setting influences the way your wedding day is planned, experienced, and preserved.

From the gentle tides of Hilton Head Island to the driftwood beaches of Charleston, we capture the golden light, ocean breeze, and emotion that make every Carolina coastal wedding, from Myrtle Beach to Wilmington, timelessly unforgettable.

Coastal & Beach Weddings

From the oak-lined drives of Beaufort to the elegant architecture of Columbia and Charleston’s historic homes, our estate and plantation-style weddings embody Southern charm and timeless romance.

Historic Estates & Southern Mansion Weddings

From Asheville’s Blue Ridge peaks to the scenic vineyards of North Carolina wine country, we capture the golden-hour glow, mountain mist, and starlit serenity.

Mountain & Vineyard Weddings

From Greenville’s rolling fields to Lexington’s hidden barns, we capture rustic charm, warm light, and glowing countryside romance.

Katie Atkinson | Bride

We had a wonderful experience working with Kendrick and his team! Kendrick did a great job of learning all about us and our day in advance of the wedding, so it was a smooth process the day of and they knew exactly the special moments to shoot! We were so so very impressed by the video, it looked like a professional movie we were so blown away! It is something we will treasure forever and I'm so grateful to Kendrick and his team for capturing our special day!

Teresa Delk | Bride

Our videographer, Kendrick, exceeded our expectations! His personality, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond really impressed us! We would hire Kendrick over and over again. So grateful we found him! We recommend him to anyone and everyone!! Thanks again!

How Your Story Unfolds

  • A cinematic, music-driven film featuring the most meaningful moments of your wedding day, with vows and toast audio woven throughout for emotional storytelling.

    Designed to be timeless and easy to revisit, this film tells the story of your day through moments, sound, and atmosphere rather than a full documentary replay.

  • Vow audio is the recorded sound of you reading your vows to one another on your wedding day.
    Rather than playing straight through from beginning to end, select lines are intentionally woven into your Highlight Film, fading in and out alongside the music.

    This allows you to hear the words that mattered most while still experiencing the emotion, movement, and atmosphere of the day. It adds depth and meaning to the film without turning it into a full ceremony replay.

  • Toast audio features select moments from speeches given by loved ones during your wedding day.
    Rather than including every word, we carefully choose meaningful lines and weave them into your Highlight Film, allowing their voices to support the story being told.

    These moments add warmth, personality, and perspective, giving your film layers of emotion beyond what’s seen on screen. The result feels personal and immersive, without becoming a full speech or reception replay.

Understanding Our Style

  • The Love Story Interview is a filmed, interview-style conversation captured on camera.

    This is what you’ll show your children when they ask that age old question, how did y’all meet?


    You and your partner sit down together to reflect on your relationship, your journey, and the meaning of the commitment you’re making.

    This video segment can be woven into your Reality Show film as a narrative introduction, giving context and depth to your wedding story. It can also exist as a standalone keepsake, preserved as its own cinematic podcast-style video.

    Some couples choose to record an additional “reunion-style” Love Story Podcast after the wedding day, allowing them to reflect back on the experience and how the day changed them. Together, these moments create a layered, personal record of your love story, before and after the wedding.

  • The Documentary Film is a long-form cinematic wedding film designed to capture your day as it actually unfolds. Rather than relying on staged moments or constant music, this film focuses on real interactions, conversations, and emotions, allowing your story to play out naturally.

    It weaves together key moments from throughout the day with audio from vows, conversations, and meaningful exchanges, creating a complete and immersive narrative. The result feels less like a highlight reel and more like watching your wedding as a story, full of context, personality, and truth

  • The Next Day Reel is a short cinematic film delivered immediately after your wedding, offering an early glimpse of your story while the emotions are still fresh.

    Created from key moments and atmosphere captured on the wedding day, it serves as an intentional bridge between the event itself and the longer-form films that follow. While many couples choose to share it, its purpose is to help you relive the feeling of the day before time creates distance.

  • The Full Ceremony Film is a complete, uninterrupted recording of your wedding ceremony. It preserves the vows, readings, music, and moments exactly as they happened, from beginning to end.

    This film is designed for couples who want the ceremony captured in its entirety, with minimal edits or storytelling overlays. It serves as a timeless record of the commitment you made and allows you to revisit the ceremony just as it was experienced.

  • Raw footage includes the unedited video clips captured throughout your wedding day. These files are delivered exactly as recorded, without color correction, music, or storytelling edits.

    This option is ideal for couples who want access to every moment that was filmed, beyond the curated films we create. It offers a comprehensive archive of the day while keeping the cinematic storytelling focused within your edited films.

  • Drone coverage adds aerial establishing shots that showcase the setting and scale of your wedding day. These shots are used intentionally to provide visual context, rather than continuous footage.

    For select collections, drone footage may also be incorporated into couples sessions when permitted. All drone use is dependent on location, weather, and local flight restrictions.

    Drone coverage is designed to enhance the cinematic feel of your films without distracting from the moments that matter most.

Chapter 7: Meet Your Storytellers

We believe that every love story deserves to be experienced with intention. As a husband and wife team, alongside our associate photographer Ashley, we understand that your wedding is not just a celebration of where you’ve been — but the beginning of everything that comes next. Our role is to guide you through the planning decisions that shape how your story unfolds, and preserve it through photography and film so you can relive the people, emotions, and moments that matter most.
