Investment Guide

FOR THE COUPLES WHO ARE

DIVING INTO THIS NEW CHAPTER HEART FIRST, AND WANT A FILM THAT REPRESENTS THAT

A true-to-you wedding film that shows how the day looked AND felt

CELEBRATE.

DOCUMENT.

Preserve.

They say there are only 2 days that you have all your loved ones together in one space- weddings and funerals. This is a day you’ve decided to dedicate to commit yourself to your person. It’s the first words of the new chapter you are writing in your life together. Why should you only get to experience these moments in memory?

Having your wedding captured by a videographer who understands the importance of these moments and better yet- understanding the importance they hold to you is invaluable. A wedding film crafted in this manner and around this experience is something that can transport you back to the day and to hear those laughs, see the tears roll down a cheek, and hear the clinking of wine glasses as your loved ones toast to your future together. A wedding film like this is what I strive to create for each of my couples. With a day this special, you deserve to cherish it in more than just your memories.

BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS,

YOU DON’T GET A Redo

This is your wedding day. You can't go back and reinvite all of your guests, rehire the vendors, or recreate all of the moments that will unfold. For this reason, it's that much more important to choose a professional videographer who is aligned with what it is you want and will work to give you a film that is priceless. A film that will hold this day and allow you to relive it when you want, and share it with others.

“He managed to beautifully document not only the big highlights but also the quiet, emotional, in-between moments we never want to forget. The laughter of our parents, the tears of joy from friends, and the candid expressions of love all around us. He caught it all with such grace and skill. Watching our wedding video felt like reliving the day in the most magical way.”

- Montgomery H.

WILD FERN WEDDINGS

WHAT YOU RECEIVE WHEN YOU CHOOSE

PERSONAL ATTENTION

My goal is to get to know who you are as a couple so I can personalize your wedding film as well as the experience you receive before/on/after the wedding day

SMOOTH PROCESS

From initial inquiry to final film delivery, I want the process to be as smooth as possible for you both, and I can tailor communications and resources to help ensure that.

PERSONAL STYLE

I vary between a 100% candid and documentary approach to balancing this with posing, depending on each couple and the experience they want on their wedding day.

“The first thing we both said when we finished watching our wedding film- “WORTH EVERY CENT.”

- Janell W.

WHAT TO EXPECT &

THE EXPERIENCE

Personal Experience = Personal Film

By personalizing your experience, you can fully be yourselves on your wedding day, which will show up in your film and the moments I capture. Why would your videographer pose you when you only want candid moments captured? Why would they ask you to do a wild dance if all you want to do is take a moment to soak in the emotions you're feeling? You deserve a videographer who works around your unique desires.

Expertise = Peace of Mind

With over 7 years of videography experience, you can rest assured knowing that I'm caring for your memories. From dual recording everything on your wedding day to immediately backing everything up the following day, you're taken care of.

Genuine Reviews = Greater Trust

All of the reviews from this proposal are taken from the many 5-star Google Reviews that past couples and vendors have left me. You can view these at any time at this link, and I hope to see your 5-star review alongside them one day.

Preparation = Customization

I keep notes of what's important to you from the first time you reach out all the way up until a pre-wedding call.

With these notes, I enter into your wedding day knowing what's important and am sure to film/edit with that in mind. This means I deliver a film tailored to the things important to you.

Resources = More Time Saved

From vendor recommendations to guides on staying present throughout your wedding day, I deliver several resources shortly after reserving your wedding date so that you can feel more prepared and save time on any parts of the planning process you may be focusing on.

“As much as Christian is talented, he is thoughtful and truly offers the most amazing client experience. Wild Fern Weddings was THE BEST decision we made.”

- Jen G.

Hi there,

I’m Christian

I want to look back on my life and feel like I learned, grew, and positively contributed to others' lives through connection and serving.

Whether this is game nights with loved ones, exploring new destinations, volunteering, or just carving out time in my day to be fully present with those around me- my goal is to live a great story.

This all ties into my work because my goal is to capture other people living their own great stories, and your wedding day is one of the most memorable chapters!

Everyone is living their own unique story and sharing stories together. I want to help capture it all so that you can look back on those chapters of your life and relive them.

MY END GOAL

MY END GOAL IS TO GIVE YOU A FILM THAT ACCURATELY REPRESENTS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DAYS OF YOUR LIVES TOGETHER. A FILM THAT PRESERVES MOMENTS WITH LOVED ONES SO THAT THEY CAN BE

enjoyed for generations.

“The BEST decision we made for our wedding day was hiring Wild Fern Weddings to document it.”

Reviews From Couples

  • "Our wedding video is everything and more than we dreamed of"

    ★★★★★

    The BEST decision we made for our wedding day was hiring Wild Fern Weddings to document it. My husband and I were very hesitant about a videographer for our wedding due to wanting a different type of video than ones we have traditionally seen. We wanted the feel of what our parents wedding videos were like, we wanted advice and well wishes from family and friends captured...enter Christian from Wild Fern Weddings!!! I can truly say our wedding video is everything and more than we dreamed of.

  • "Wild Fern Weddings was THE BEST decision we made."

    ★★★★★

    Being in the wedding industry myself made it difficult to choose wedding vendors, except for when it came to our decision on videography. This was a no-brainer for us. Christian was a joy to work with and his work is AMAZING (that is an understatement). And as much as Christian is talented, he is thoughtful and truly offers the most amazing client experience. Wild Fern Weddings was THE BEST decision we made. My now husband even mentioned how special it was that Christian was so invested in getting to know us and our love story. If you're thinking about hiring Christian, please take this as your sign that you absolutely should. I am forever grateful he was available to capture our love through his lens.

    Christian goes above and beyond to make your film unique and personal to you. The highlight video blew us away. It was so well done and personal to us.

He captured the day beautifully and was also so helpful on the wedding day.

    - Lidy M.

  • "It feels like it was made just for us!"

    Our video is breathtaking and we are blown away with the quality. It feels like it was made just for us! Years before my wedding, I knew I would hire a videographer. To have such a memorable day in a medium that you can replay over and over for years to come. To not only see with your eyes, but to hear the same sounds as you did on your wedding day. If you weren't planning on hiring a videographer for your wedding, you should reconsider. And if you are, hire Wild Fern Weddings!!

    - Hannah W.

  • "GET A VIDEOGRAPHER and make sure it’s Wild Fern Weddings!"

He was very thorough, easy to communicate with, personable, and professional. He made sure we were on the same page with what we wanted included in our film and also the style of it.

  • "Watching the video brings us right back to the feelings of that day."

    ★★★★★

    This was the best decision we made. Which says a lot because my husband was very hesitant to even have a video.. once he saw it he said he was nuts for ever questioning it! Not only was Christian amazing leading up to the wedding, but we just got the video back and it is unreal... He is extremely talented and captured our day exactly how we want to remember it! Watching the video brings us right back to the feelings of that day.

    - Ashley S.

  • "Wild Fern Weddings was the best and easiest vendor decision to make."

    ★★★★★

    Our wedding planner recommended Wild Fern Weddings and it was the best and easiest vendor decision to make. Christian takes time to understand what the couple values most within the wedding for the purpose of the video but also gets to know the couple apart from the wedding! Our film leaves me in tears and it’s not just a cheesy wedding highlight reel, it shows the story and progression of the day in the best way! I highly recommend Wild Fern Weddings!!

Reviews From Vendors

  • "He’s one of the best out there."

    ★★★★★

    Christian is amazing! Being a wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to work along side Christian many times and he’s one of the best out there. He’s my go to recommendation to anyone asking for a wedding videographer. I’ve even hired him for a few weddings on my behalf and trusted him 100% without worrying. He’s hands off but he manages to capture best raw and genuine moments of your wedding day and creates some of the best, most heartfelt wedding videos I’ve seen.

    - Noah W. (photographer)

  • "He made the experience of video really enjoyable for my clients."

    ★★★★★

    I worked with Christian on a wedding this past Fall and it was such a great experience. He was extremely collaborative and made my job as a planner really easy. He communicated well, showed up on time, didn't get in the way of the photographers and overall made the experience of video really enjoyable for my clients. He produced an amazing video and my clients were super happy with how it turned out! I will be referring Wild Fern Weddings going forward and look forward to the next time we get to work together. I couldn't recommend WFW enough!

I have been in the wedding industry for ten years and he was one of the most amazing videographers to work with.

    Christian was so seamless to work alongside! As a wedding photographer myself, Christian’s documentary approach not only supported my own but elevated it.
