marry how you want
, not how
you should
Throughout my career, I've sought to create a more personal experience for my couples by simplifying this process. These film collections have been an integral part of that.
I want you to be fully present throughout your wedding, not having to worry about running out of coverage, so these collections are based around days of coverage, not hours. This also allows us to expand your story beyond the "event" of the wedding, but get to the core of who you are.
The Collections
Intentionally created collections to best tell the story you're living
dialed in over a decade
This is the most popular film I create. If you want to make sure to capture who you are outside of your wedding day, the Traveler is where you begin. This film includes a second day of coverage for you to get creative with! Take the boat out, go horseback riding on the ranch, do date night in your hometown, get flirty over a glass of wine while you make dinner at home just the two of you, sit around the fire with your loved ones and share your favorite stories...the possibilities are endless. Let's capture this bit of who are you together and keep the memories forever.

The Traveler
Tell your story to the fullest! If you're creating a multi-day experience, The Explorer is for you. Imagine spending the days before your wedding adventuring around Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands, kicking up some dirt off-roading in the CA high desert, waterfall rappelling in the Blue Ridge Mountains, going on a night out in the city, or relaxing at the lake with your friends and family. Let's dive into this experience from start to finish and tell a story weaving between all the good times and emotions from the days your marriage began.

The Explorer
A sunset elopement in the mountains, an intimate day along the coast, a soiree under the stars, the Wayfarer is the perfect way to capture the start of your greatest adventure. If you're having a single day wedding, look no further. This film will feel like you, showcasing all the most emotional, exciting, and epic moments from your wedding day.

The Wayfarer
I call additional days of filming "Story Sessions", because they allow us to set aside intentional time just the three of us to capture more of who you are outside of your wedding day. These are definitely my favorite to do and what I'm most inspired by. They bring so much value to your film - and they're just a ton of fun. Let's chat about what we can do for yours!
Why Multiple Days of Filming?
This Film should be truly unique to you
I am most inspired by non-traditional visions for weddings, when couples that are bold and free-spirited in marrying how you want, not how you should. In nature has always been where I'm at my best, and I am specifically driven to capture intimate weddings and elopements in the landscapes that are most special to you.
+ Non-Traditional
You are real and genuine with each other and I want you to feel safe to be so with me. It's so important that you feel this comfort level with whoever it is you partner with to tell your story. My desire is that we become friends throughout our time together.
+ Let's be friends
I know how difficult it is to figure out what to prioritize with your wedding budget. While I am not the cheapest filmmaker, your wedding film is one of the only things you'll get to take with you after the wedding. As soon as you leave your wedding, you'll instantly want to relive the moments and see what was captured on camera. Your wedding film is something that will only increase in value throughout your lives.
+ Money talk
I have filmed as a single filmmaker since the start of my career and I am very comfortable with it. In fact, most of the films you'll see from me are single shot! You are in good hands with me as a single filmmaker.

Teasers
01
These are the most popular add on and definitely my favorite! If you just can't wait for the full film, you can get these delivered within the first 2 weeks of your wedding. I offer Teaser Films and Reels for social media.
Relive the biggest moments of your wedding day in their entirety with one of these beautiful full-length edits. For ceremony, speeches, and more.
While I work very well as a solo filmmaker, sometimes a couple will prefer I have a second just in case. This is most beneficial during the ceremony. In a handful of situations, I might even recommend a second filmmaker to best capture your wedding.
Safekeeping
04
Want to see all the moments that didn't make it into your wedding film? Make sure all your memories are kept safe by purchasing all the raw footage from your wedding day or weekend. I also offer an Online Backup Subscription.
The companion picks
I'm excited to offer what I'm calling Chapter Films, the stories of the other great chapters you're living. 'Cause your wedding is just the beginning of your story. The possibilities for these films are endless. Couples story sessions, family sessions for the holidays, an anniversary, maybe you're simply loving the stage that your kids and family are in, an in-home session, you're pursuing a dream, or just because. Let's tell that awesome story together!

Words About the experience
"We absolutely loved working with Prescott! His work is of the highest quality and as professional as it gets. And to top it off, we felt like he was a friend at our wedding instead of just our videographer by the end of the weekend."
- Kristen and Neal
"Our Westward Hearts was the best decision we made in the wedding process. Prescott's kind and creative spirit didn’t go unnoticed and his work was phenomenal.
- Karissa and Wyatt
"Prescott's work stood out for all the right reasons! Watching our film for the first time made us feel like we were reliving our special day in the very best way. We laughed and we both had tears in our eyes by the end."
- Carrie and Stephen

As my career has progressed and my family has grown, I have decided to take on a more limited number of travel weddings each year to better balance time with my family. With that in mind, I am reserving my travel availability for couples that are interested in multiple days of coverage (the Traveler and Explorer films). I have also found that those are my favorite kind of wedding to film and what inspire me most.
As a result, I am only offering single day coverage (the Wayfarer film) for weddings local to the Charlotte region.
