I feel that I owe an immense homage to the wedding media industry as I wrap up conversations with my final wedding video clients. What started as a curiosity to see if I might be able to make something more than shaky snowboarding videos with my friends ended up being a blueprint to my identity. I filmed my first wedding video (shoutout Nicole and Terry) in the summer of 2018 on a GoPro Hero 6 and the family Canon 60D. What little I asked for in payment that first video went against every fiber of my being (broke college student) but I had a feeling the experience was more important. Fast forward a couple years and I had set aside some money to buy a professional grade video editing program, Canon 80D, and a second camera lens. Those next 3 wedding videos managed to put my name on the radar because I somehow found myself in Georgia filming a wedding for a gal (shoutout Marci) I had met in Boston at a pharmacy conference. 5 wedding videos. At that point, I knew I was cookin with campfire. Fast forward 24 more wedding videos, 5 cameras, even more lenses, gimbal stabilizers, mics, drones, tripods, you name it, and literally thousands of hours learning to edit (completely self taught), I found myself fulfilled and unexpectedly working with two careers. As I lean on the pharmacy side of things for the time being, I have many to thank from the last 8 years. To every client, friend, vendor, parent, wedding party, photographer, my lovely wife, my family, coworkers, and the random guy in Red Lodge who lent me a lens filter 2 hours before a wedding (Coleman Gallery & Studio), I hope since I last saw you that you have been able to experience that same excitement I witnessed from behind my camera all those years ago. Thanks to you I saw some cool stuff, weird stuff, and the stuff you can’t really bring words to… Joy? Fulfillment? Gratitude? Stay in touch is all I ask in return.

And finally I couldn’t be happier ending this journey on your wedding Holly and Josh. Thanks for believing in me and congratulations! 🙌

Kristin & Carter: LIVING WITH PURPOSE

As you’ll see, the theme throughout the Britt Wedding was to be purposeful with one’s words and actions. After editing this one, I became increasingly convinced Kristin and Carter planned for me to wrap up their wedding video on my birthday, on purpose. Idk how they did it but they did and even if it was coincidental, as Cameron would say, let me have this one. 😂 As my oldest friends, I am over the moon excited for the life you guys are going to build together. The most sensational conversationalists finally met their match and I had the privilege of getting to bottle all the sparks up into 10 minutes and 57 seconds… thank you.

My Job > Your Job

Documenting weddings through video (sorry photographers, I’m convinced I’ve got this one in the bag) has taught me an invaluable number of life lessons. The McConville wedding was no exception. On top of the treasure trove of cinematic opportunities this wedding had to offer, the heartfelt words from all the people that spoke at this one really left an impression:

Lesson 1: Tell the people around you that you love them. Often.
Lesson 2: Take risks. And when you do, believe in yourself.
Lesson 3: Communication can circumvent almost any crisis.

Luke, Julie, way to go. You’ve got a lot to be proud of. Congratulations!

Cody & Dani: “ABOUT DAMN TIME”

These two met in elementary school, proceeded to start dating in high school (2012), got engaged in Tokyo (2022), and tied the knot after 11.5 years together. Having filming real estate for the Kelley family (2018), Cody’s sister’s wedding (2022), and now this… I can only pinch myself at this point. They are both as Salt of the Earth kind of people as they come. I (and everyone else) are excited to watch you navigate life together… we all know it will be goosebumps the entire way!

And a final thank you to all the vendors!
Everyone was incredible to work with.

Jon & Jess AKA Red Lodge’s very own celebrities. You two definitely sucked every ounce of life out of this day. CONGRATULATIONS. I feel honored to have been apart of such an incredible day! On a videography note: if you don’t watch this one start to finish, you’re doing yourself a great disservice. The content was COOKIN at this wedding. Special thanks to all the vendors for helping put on. *queue Put On by Young Jeezy*

Three pharmacists walk into a bar.
One says, “We should get married!”
The second says, “In Red Lodge Montana?”
The third, well he just pulls his camera out and hits record.
Jon, Jess, we’re a ways out from the finished video… I just couldn’t help but stitch together a little something to rile you guys up as much as I am over how grand these shots turned out. Congratulations on such an incredible day and thank you for having me! 📷🎬🎞️
