Photos show how it looked. The film keeps how it sounded.
Your vows, every speech, your grandfather's laugh, and ten of your people speaking to you. Kept in a film you'll want to watch every anniversary.
Twenty seconds of the speeches.
This is from a five-minute film I made before moving to the longer Twenty Year Film format. Watch it once with the sound off, then with it on. The sound is the difference.
The full ceremony and every speech come separately, uncut, with every film.
The part of the day you can't get back.
Months go into the venue, the dress and the flowers. What lasts is how it sounded: the vows, the speeches, the people you love talking to you. That's what I'm there to keep.
- Your vows, in your own voices
- Every speech, exactly as it was given
- Your grandfather's laugh
- Ten of your people, speaking to you
- The day as it felt, not just how it looked
“I've never watched anyone's wedding video. Would we even watch ours?”
It's a fair question, and every film I make is built to answer it: eight to ten minutes you'll put on every anniversary, with the ceremony and every speech kept whole, because the voices are the reason to have a film at all.
Made to be watched in twenty years, not just next week.
The Twenty Year Film
Everything below is yours, made to be watched in twenty years. Every piece comes with every film.
- 06–08 hrs
Coverage on the day
From getting ready to the first dance and the toasts.
- Full length
The whole ceremony, cut and uncut
Your vows recorded clearly, with a mic on the officiant and on you. Nothing trimmed out of the uncut version.
- Every one
Every speech and toast, uncut
Including the ones that ran long. Especially those.
- 08:00–10:00
Your wedding film
An eight to ten minute film of the day, cut to the sound of it.
- 00:30–00:50
A short edit for your phone
Vertical, ready to post, so you aren't waiting months to share something.
- 10 voices
The Ten Voices
Your ten closest people, each filmed on the day saying something to you. Their own film, sealed until it arrives.
- Vows + toasts
Your vows and speeches, as their own film
The words of the day, cut together so you can go straight to them.
- On your wall
A framed still and ten prints
A frame from your film, chosen and framed, plus ten prints to keep or give away.
Three things you'll have in the contract.
Your delivery date
A specific date, not a range, written into the contract before the wedding. You'll know when the film arrives before I've filmed a frame.
The whole ceremony and every speech, uncut
Delivered in full as standard. The parts people actually go back to are never left on the cutting-room floor.
Dedicated audio on your vows
A microphone on you and on the officiant, recorded separately from the camera. Your vows sound like the room did, not like a phone across it.
The Ten Voices
On the day, I take your ten closest people aside, one at a time, and film each of them speaking to you.
A minute each, cut together as a film of its own. Sealed until it arrives.
- 01Grandmother
- 02Grandfather
- 03Mom
- 04Dad
- 05Maid of honor
- 06Best man
- 07Sibling

From the day itself.
Frames from the films. Twenty seconds with sound is above.
Photographs and film from one team, on one timeline.
If you haven't booked a photographer yet, you can have both arranged together: a photographer working to the same plan as the film, one point of contact for the whole day, and one quote.
One team means one timeline, one set of people to brief, and no two crews competing for the same spot during your vows.
- Eight hours on the day
- 500+ fully edited, high-resolution images
- A private online gallery, no watermarks
- A planning call before the day
- The full ceremony, cut and uncut
- Every speech and toast, uncut
- An eight to ten minute film
- A 30–50 second edit for your phone
- The Ten Voices
- Your vows and speeches as their own short film
- A framed still and ten prints
Hi, I'm Dev.
I'm a wedding filmmaker based in New York. I take a small number of weddings so each one gets my full attention, from the first call to the day your film arrives.
I don't direct you or ask you to pose. If you're “awkward on camera”, good: you don't need to be good on camera, you just need to be there. I stay out of the way and keep the sound clean, because the sound is what you'll want in twenty years.
Three steps, then the day.
Check your date
Tell me your date, your venue and whether you have a photographer. Takes a minute.
A short call
Twenty minutes to hear about your day and answer your questions. You'll have an exact quote for your date before we hang up.
Your date, held
A simple contract with your delivery date written in, and a deposit to hold the day. Before the wedding we plan the timeline together.
The ones that come up.
We're awkward on camera. Is that a problem?
No. Nearly everyone worries about this. I don't pose you or give you lines. Most of the film is the day happening while I stay in the background.
How far ahead should we book?
Couples typically book nine to fifteen months out; the average US engagement is about fifteen months (The Knot). Popular summer dates go first. If your date is sooner, ask anyway.
Do you film outside New York City?
Yes. Weddings across the tri-state area and further afield are welcome. Travel is quoted separately, depending on where you are.
We already have a photographer. Can we book just the film?
Yes. The Twenty Year Film is the film on its own. I'm happy to coordinate with your photographer before the day.
When do we find out the price?
On a short call with me. Every wedding is quoted on its own date, hours and location, so rather than publish a range that fits nobody, I walk you through one exact number for your day. Twenty minutes, no pressure, and you'll have it before we hang up.
Is your date still open?
Three things and you're done: your date (or roughly when), where, and how to reach you. I reply within a day with whether I'm free and a time for a short call.
A limited number of weddings each year. 2027 is now open.
Thank you. Your date is noted.
I'll reply within a day with whether the date is free and a time for a short call.
