Your Wedding Film is going to last a lifetime.

Choosing the right vendors for your wedding can feel overwhelming; everyone starts to look the same, and it’s hard to know who will truly understand you. My wife and I went through that same experience 14 years ago, and it’s why I approach wedding filmmaking the way I do today: with care, clarity, and a focus on what really matters to you.

At Next Chapter Films, we don’t just show up with cameras; we show up with intention. Couples have trusted us to capture one of the biggest days of their lives, and we honor that by focusing on the real moments that make your story yours. From the quiet in-between glances to the big celebrations, our goal is simple: to create a film that feels true to your day, not staged or overproduced.

Whether your plans are small and intimate or large and lively, we’re here to make sure your wedding film is something you’ll be proud to watch and share for years to come. Let’s create something meaningful, together.

We Capture It All So You Can Fully Live Your Day

Where It Begins

Two Filmmakers = Double the Coverage

Your wedding day is too important to miss a single moment. With two filmmakers, both sides of the bridal party are covered without rushing back and forth. From the morning excitement to the final dance, we ensure every angle is captured seamlessly. During your ceremony and reception, we use four cameras, so your vows, speeches, and every reaction are preserved with cinematic precision.

Every Detail, Elevated

Every film is crafted with crystal-clear visuals and timeless detail, creating a cinematic keepsake that feels as vibrant years from now as it did on the day itself.  We incorporate aerial drone footage (weather and location permitting) for breathtaking perspectives that elevate your story. To ensure every word and laugh is preserved, we professionally record all audio; from your ceremony vows to heartfelt toasts, so your film both looks and sounds unforgettable.

Reliving the Magic

We know waiting for your wedding film can feel like forever. That’s why we deliver a sneak-peek trailer within 7 days of your celebration. Your full wedding film arrives within 6-8 weeks, allowing you to relive the magic while the memories are still fresh.
