Amanda and I got married at eighteen. A backyard, right out of high school. She planned the whole day. The arrangements, the food, the decor. All of it, at eighteen.
Our photographer sent us a handful of preview photos, and that was it. She passed before she could deliver the rest. What I have of my own wedding is those few previews and a lot of memory.
That's the part that became the whole point. Ever After exists so you don't lose yours. I'm not here to capture how a day looked. I'm here to capture who you are in it.
Amanda runs The Central Oregon Wedding Collective, doing wedding planning and coordination. That's how we sometimes work the same wedding side by side — she's coordinating, I'm filming. When a day calls for more, I bring in a small, hand-picked crew. The eye behind it is always mine.
A handful of weddings each year, so every couple gets our full creative team — two cinematographers, every time — and our full attention.
No template timelines, no outsourced post. Every film is cut, graded, and scored in our Bend studio.
Vows, toasts, the letter read in the getting-ready room. Field-recorded audio mixed with music. Never music pasted over a silent montage.
Most couples book both. One creative team captures the day as a whole, so the stills and the film feel like they came from the same afternoon.
Real words from couples and vendors we've worked with. Every review is unsolicited, and every name is someone we'd send you to if you asked.
