Rehearsal dinner films made from all the footage that came before
Short films created from family photos and home videos, designed to be shown at rehearsal dinners or welcome parties.
Before the wedding day, there is a lifetime of little moments that came first
I create short wedding films using existing family photos and home videos—childhood footage, old VHS tapes, digital photos, early memories, and meaningful moments from long before the couple met.
These films are often shown at rehearsal dinners or welcome parties, offering a deeply personal way to honor the people and history behind the celebration—often moving, joyful, and unexpectedly funny.
This service is especially meaningful for:
Couples who want to honor family history before the ceremony
Parents creating a heartfelt rehearsal dinner or welcome party film
Families looking for a meaningful wedding-weekend gift
If you have boxes of old photos or home videos you’ve always meant to do something with, this is a way to bring them into the wedding weekend with care.

Each film is custom-created from your family photos and home videos.
You don’t need to organize everything perfectly before reaching out.
I help you make sense of what you have, guide you through selecting material, and help with digitizing photos/videos, if needed. My role is to handle the details so the experience feels meaningful—not overwhelming.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
This is not a traditional wedding video.
These films focus on what came before—the childhoods, families, and relationships that shaped the couple long before the wedding day. The approach is intentionally simple, personal, and timeless.
WHERE THESE FILMS ARE SHOWN
Most films are shared:
At rehearsal dinners
During welcome parties
At small family gatherings during the wedding weekend
Films are typically 4–8 minutes long & designed to fit seamlessly into the wedding weekend
