GoRGEOUS WEDDING VIDEO.
The nostalgia of real Super 8mm film.
At Wild Bridge Films, we have laid to rest the days of wedding videos that no one ever watches, while nurturing the dreaminess of beautiful candid moments captured on physical film.
We make wedding films that are an experience of beauty, emotion, and nostalgia, rather than just some nice footage put together cookie-cutter style in the order of your day. Your wedding footage = art, and we center ourselves around this question: “If we could bottle up this couple’s love and commitment for each other and then transform it into a film, what would it look like—what would it feel like?”
We love recognizing the beauty of how you choose to design your wedding as well as the honest candidness of natural interactions amidst loved ones, and we choose to focus on capturing those things in a cinematic way rather than seeking to direct events for the sake of cinema. We understand that weddings are first and foremost about two people giving their lives to each other, and, as videographers, we consider it our task to capture that inspiring act—and all the moments before and after—with as little interference as possible.
On your big day, we’ll show up while you’re getting ready. We’ll capture all the eager anticipation, the togetherness of family and friends, the uniqueness of details, the raw emotion, the playfulness and laughter, the endless celebration... and expertly craft it into a visual treat that you can watch hundreds of times without it ever growing boring.
We think that the day you get married is
One of the most important stories worth telling and re-living.
REVIEWS &
Kind Words.
Any sense of joy in the work we do or artistic pride in the finished product really means nothing unless the couples we are working for come out of their experience with us truly happy with their wedding vignettes. Whenever we receive reviews like the ones below, we are motivated afresh to keep offering the services we offer because we have confidence that our work is preserving moments of beauty and goodness in the world, and that is a work worth doing.
FROM JESSICA S. —
“I cannot begin to explain how happy we are with our wedding video! Wild Bridge Films was definitely one of our FAVORITE vendors and made the video side of weddings so delightful. They did an engagement shoot as well that captured the love between my husband and myself as well as helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. We will be using them again one day when we want to capture our family, but for now I will sing all praises of their talent and genuine interest in film.”
FROM KAMA R. —
“We had extremely high hopes with our wedding video but we were completely blown away when we received our wedding videos!! My husband and I have not stopped watching them over and over and all of our friends and family cannot stop raving about how amazing they are!! We searched near and far to find the perfect wedding videographers for us, the exact opposite of a cookie cutter; videographers that would capture moments instead of acting and we definitely could not have found better!”
FROM CYNTHIA B. —
“I spent more time looking for a videographer than I did any other vendor. Not because a video was the most important part of the wedding to me, but because I watched video after video that did not inspire me at all. When I saw the Wild Bridge samples I was immediately in love and felt so lucky they were available for our date. Several people after seeing our video said they wished they had done one for their own wedding. I think they were only that inspired though because the video was so beautiful! The icing on the cake is that Derrick and Christy are absolutely lovely people as well and just a pleasure to be around. Hire them now! You will not be disappointed!!”
FROM ANITRA H. —
“WOW, is all I could say when my husband and I received our video films! I am just in awe from beginning to the end how they crafted our wedding day film using the vintage film to the song selection to the different angles and moments captured! As a working couple, they complimented each other perfectly in how they communicated and worked to make sure they grasped every detail we wanted and those we didn't know we would want at the time! The day of the wedding I can hardly remember them being there in the midst of what was going on but looking at the videos they CAPTURED every emotion and special moment! Watching the videos I cried and felt the emotion I felt on the day of my wedding!”

FAQ
What film camera do you shoot on?
It is a Canon 1014 XL-S, which was manufactured from 1978-1983. It features the world’s first superimposed viewfinder display!
Do you offer A longer edited film?
No. We focus all of our attention on crafting a highly watchable short film that encapsulates the feeling of your day! You also get the vows in their entirety, and we offer options for your entire first dance and toasts as separate videos.
CAN I pICK THE MUSIC?
It depends. Music for wedding films must be properly licensed, and many songs are simply not available for license. We have a large bank of music to select from. Typically, our couples give us a list of 4-5 songs they like, and then we can pick something that matches both your style and our own sense of what will work best with the footage. We’ve never had anyone say they didn’t like the music we chose!
“Whenever I see a new Vignette released by Wild Bridge Films, I am immediately filled with regret that I didn’t get one of my wedding day!”
