WHY SHOULD YOUR WEDDING LOOK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE’S?

HANDCRAFTED FILMS FOR LOVERS

After filming weddings for more than 10 years, here’s what I know : everyone wants a good wedding film.

I want to help you achieve that

Many people will say every wedding is different - this is somewhat true. But many weddings are like another. The stage is similar, the props are similar, the plot is similar to another. What’s different is the CAST.

I endeavor, with every film I make, to bottle up a bit of the essence of two lovers and distill it into a piece of art they can hold on to for a lifetime.

THERE ARE NO RULES.

Your wedding day should be all about you. I make sure your wedding film is, too. If you’re looking for more than a paint-by-numbers approach to wedding videography, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

 

THIS IS MORE THAN A BUSINESS TO ME - THIS IS AN ART

AUTHENTIC.

  • Your wedding film should be about you. Not forcing you into something you’re not. There is space for you to be yourself - funny, quirky, serious, romantic. I want you to see yourself in your film.

BESPOKE.

  • I handcraft my films based on who you are as a couple, your likes, dislikes - the things that make you who you are. You are the story. I’ve found that this approach is more creatively fulfilling for me and leads to a better film for you.

CONNECTION.

  • The way to do this is by connecting. I’m there throughout the process, not just showing up the day of the wedding. Because of this I limit the amount of weddings I take every year so I can be fully committed to my couples.

  • Erin & Spencer

    “Justin is an artist. He knows both music and video and pairs them perfectly together. If you want to tell him what you want your wedding to look like/feel like that’s great. He can certainly do that. If you want Justin to shine though… tell him and show him what kind of love you and your partner share and give him the reigns to tell that story for you, and you won’t be disappointed.”

  • Sophia & Will

    “Our final video has absolutely blown us away. While watching the video we laughed, cried, and smiled the entire time- same as on our wedding day! He truly couldn’t have done a better job!

    A few final notes about working with Justin:

    - He was communicating with updates on where he was at with our video and sent a few short clips!

    - He made our video so unique and so US!!

    - If you haven’t booked him yet what are ya doing?!?!?!!?”

  • Justine & Ryan

    “We were blown away by the quality of the result! Justin and his team incorporated their incredible talent, creativity and technology including drone footage to deliver the most epic wedding video beyond our wildest imagination (Rooftop Drone Footage!). They are worth every penny. I would highly recommend them for any event.”

  • Ashley & Zach

    “Justin is amazing!!!

    He did such an amazing job at our wedding. I was very impressed with how he truly captured the story of my husband and I’s relationship in our wedding highlight video. Our wedding highlight video made me smile, laugh, and cry all within a video.

    I would recommend Justin and his team to ANYONE!

    I have watch our wedding video so many times and it will be something I cherish forever.”

LET’S MAKE SOMETHING UNIQUE

I strive to make art that is honest and unique. I don’t want to merely make a wedding video - I want to capture a feeling. Candeo Films was birthed from a desire to create art for all couples that want to commemorate one of the most important chapters of their lives in a deeply personal and intimate way. After more than 10 years I am still just as excited to capture the stories of couples madly in love. Our wedding videography is based in Houston, TX, Asheville, NC and wherever else you want to go.
