The Ultimate Wedding Video Checklist
Everything you wish you knew before the big day, from a wedding videographer who learned the hard way.
Hey, I’m Ben, and I believe your story deserves to be remembered.
When my wife and I got married, I thought I had it covered — I set up my own cameras and asked a friend to hit record. One of the cameras didn’t capture anything, and the other filmed from behind us in the church balcony. Our photos? Taken by a family friend with a point-and-shoot. They’re meaningful, but they missed the moments between the moments — the laughter, the vows, the sound of her saying “I do.”
That experience is why I do what I do now.
This checklist is designed to help you avoid the same heartache and make sure your wedding day is captured exactly how it deserves to be — whether you hire me or someone else.

Why It Matters
Because you don’t just want to remember your wedding, you want to feel it again.
Your wedding film will outlive the cake, the flowers, even the dress. It becomes a time capsule — something your kids, and maybe their kids, will watch one day. The laughter, the voices, the little details that fade with time… video keeps them alive.
That’s why this checklist isn’t just about logistics — it’s about legacy.
