Cinematic Documentary Wedding Videos

Your day, in motion.

Video captures everything photo can't. Sound, movement, changing emotion, speeches, the first dance. It makes your whole day feel alive.

"Told the story of our day exactly as we imagined, if not even better. Watching our film brought every emotion flooding back, and we'll treasure it forever."

"We couldn't have asked for a better wedding videographer than Ryan! Words simply can't describe how much we love every moment he captured. He told the story of our day exactly as we imagined, if not even better. Watching our film brought every emotion flooding back, and we'll treasure it forever. Ryan was incredible to work with from start to finish. He brought such amazing energy to the day and made us feel completely at ease. As two very camera-shy people, we were amazed at how comfortable he made us feel, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. We can't recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a videographer who is not only exceptionally talented but also an absolute joy to have as part of your day."

Who you'll work with

Photo, video and film. One crew.

After years of shooting weddings, we know the details that get overlooked and make sure they're yours to cherish, so you can be fully present while we carry the content for the day. Because we shoot everything as one team, it means fewer meetings and logistics, one consistent style, and nothing falls through the cracks on the day.

Ryan is your main point of contact and runs all the logistics, every edit goes through the same editing team, and your shooter is always someone from our approved crew below. We lock your crew in around 3 months out, then jump on a video call with Ryan and everyone shooting your day, so you know us all before it begins. And if anyone's ever sick, another Selah shooter steps in, so you're never left without coverage. You're sorted with Selah!

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Do you offer payment plans? Can we pay it off over time?

Yes! $750 secures your date, then we split the rest into easy monthly payments over up to 9 months, all wrapped up before the day. A 15% fee applies for spreading it out, and we set up the automatic payments with you so it's completely hands-off. Just let us know and we'll build a plan that suits you.

Honestly, we're not really "photo people". Is that a problem?

Not at all, this is what we do all day! Most of our couples say the exact same thing. We shoot documentary-style, so you're not stuck posing for hours. We'll give you gentle direction when you want it and otherwise let the day unfold, and you'll be surprised how natural it feels, even if cameras make you nervous right now.

Why should we choose Selah over other wedding photographers?

A few things, really! First, it's easy. We're one team for everything (photo, video, Super 8 and 35mm), so it's one booking, one planning call and one point of contact, instead of juggling separate vendors who've never met. Everything is shot in one style and edited by the same team, so nothing clashes, and if your shooter is ever sick, another Selah shooter steps in. Second, we care a lot about quality. Every photo and film is edited to the same timeless standard, in true-to-life colour that won't look dated in a few years, and we shoot real Super 8 and 35mm film, which most photographers don't offer, for a warmth and grain you just can't fake. And just as much, it comes down to how we treat you: we're relaxed, respectful and genuinely invested in your day going well, not just in getting the shot. You'll feel at ease the whole way through, even if cameras make you nervous :)

What if our photographer gets sick or has an emergency?

That's honestly the beauty of working with a team. Your coverage is provided by Selah, not one single person, so if your shooter can't make it (illness, injury, or an emergency), we'll always have another experienced Selah shooter ready to jump in at the same standard or higher. Every one of us works in the same style, and your editor stays the same no matter who shoots, so your photos and film always come back looking exactly like Selah. You're never left without coverage.

What if our day runs a little longer than we booked?

No stress, we're pretty relaxed about it and we'll never pack up in the middle of something special. If it's looking like your day needs a bit more time, extra coverage is easy to add on at $450 an hour per service, and we'll always check in with you first so there are never any surprises.

What happens if it rains?

We shoot rain or shine, and honestly some of the most beautiful, emotional photos happen in the weather. We'll always have a plan B for portraits, and we'll never let a bit of rain stress you out on the day. You've got enough to think about!
