From our very first conversation with Desmond, our experience with Fine Art Wedding Film has been amazing! Desmond was very attentive and detailed through the booking process, including sending us a VERY informative guide that helped us think ahead to our special day and what we wanted to capture. His communication throughout the process was impeccable. It was a tremendous help, and honestly gave us some great ideas that we would not have thought of ourselves! Both our teaser video and wedding film are magical, and captured everything we wanted. We can’t stop watching it! It has us thinking “What else can Desmond film for us!?” We highly recommend Fine Art Wedding Film!

Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of working with Tony at a wedding recently and truly enjoyed our time together! In our industry, teamwork really does make the dream work. Communication and mutual expertise are necessary for a successful event and Tony crushed it. He knew what to do, where to be, and how to communicate that so me, as the DJ, could make sure all the couple's moments were perfect and captured! I hope we can work together again in the future!

Joel was absolutely incredible! His professionalism, communication, and eye for detail were outstanding from start to finish. He blended seamlessly into our wedding day, capturing every detail without interrupting the flow or pulling us away for overly scripted shots. He was truly the perfect person for the job! We especially loved the option to add Super8, which gave us that perfect vintage feel we were looking for. Having the option to add on all the raw footage was a huge bonus, too. The highlight video was everything we wanted and more—beautifully produced and a perfect reflection of our special day. Thanks to Joel, we can relive our wedding day over and over again, and we couldn't be happier with his work!

i grew up in europe and from the age of 10 used analogue film cameras. i eventually became a fashion/people photographer in milan, austria, new york city and LA. the nostalgia of polaroids inspired me to make weddings films in a more abstract and ephemeral way, like dreams. my films aim to provide a glimpse of what it felt like on your day, conveying an unmistakable essence about you and the experience.

Working with Michael from start to finish was absolutely lovely! He is a true artist. He genuinely got to know us and our story beforehand, and by the time we finally met - he felt like an old friend. From the moment they arrived, he and his assistant were ninjas, getting everything from drone shots (!?) to go-pro footage of the groomsmen in the pool. He never hesitated to throw out amazing ideas and things we could capture. Once we finally had the video - we were ecstatic. It blew our minds! It basically should go to Sundance. But really... wow, we wept looking at the most joyous day of our life be reflected to us in such a cinematic and intimate way. This was not your regular wedding video. It was spectacular! We had a chance to show some of our closest friends right away, and of course, everyone was in love with it, and the consensus was, "This is LITERALLY A FILM!" "This filmmaker is incredible," lots of tears, laughs, smiles etc etc :) We absolutely agree. I can't express enough how awesome Michael is; we LOVE his work! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day! To sum it up, he is an absolute pleasure to work with; he has an incredible eye and is professional, collaborative, and kind.

With nearly a decade of experience, Ethan Monroe is the storyteller, photographer, and filmmaker behind Monroe Films. Specializing in crafting authentic and cinematic wedding films, Ethan’s work is driven by personality—he and his team are dedicated to providing a personal, memorable experience from start to finish. Their goal is to tell your story with honesty, passion, and creativity, capturing the moments that matter most. Above all, Monroe Films delivers a timeless piece of art that allows you to relive your most cherished memories for years to come.

Ethan was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Ethan was attentive, detailed, professional, and thoughtful when it came to our contract. He was honest and fair about his pricing (which is excellent), and he was thorough when answering our questions. As a former wedding planner, I can say with absolute certainty that I would hire Ethan as a preferred vendor without question. As magical as the day was, when we were on our way back to the hotel after the reception, we couldn't help but feel that the whole thing flew by in the blink of an eye and that we missed the little moments everyone told us to hold on to in the days leading up to the wedding. Not even 12 hours later, Ethan completely put those fears to rest. When we got our first trailer (the very next day!), we were stunned at how he was able to capture the smallest details and the biggest love of the whole wedding in just a 60 second video. And then when we received our highlight film a few weeks later, those feelings were amplified. He didn't just capture the big and small moments of the day; he captured our personalities, our stories, and our love. We couldn't recommend Ethan enough. He knows what he is doing and he knows better than anyone how to translate your story into a remarkable film. We can't wait to work with him again for future family events!
