Meet the Artist

Hey everyone, it's Eddie here! I wanted to share a bit more about what drives me as a wedding videographer and why I truly love what I do. You might have seen glimpses of my work, a blend of old and new, but there's a real story behind that unique style. For me, capturing a wedding isn't just about documenting an event; it's about preserving a feeling, an atmosphere, a moment in time that you can revisit for years to come. My passion for film started with those grainy, authentic family home movies from my childhood. There's an undeniable warmth and honesty in them, a raw beauty that modern, perfectly polished footage sometimes misses. That's why I embrace the charm of vintage camcorders and Super 8 film. When I'm shooting with a vintage camcorder, it adds a layer of nostalgia, a slightly imperfect, dreamlike quality that truly gives your wedding film a unique, timeless character. It’s not just a gimmick; it’s an artistic choice that evokes emotion and sets your story apart. Imagine watching your wedding film years from now, and it instantly transports you back to that exact feeling, that moment, with a beautiful, nostalgic glow. But don't get me wrong, I'm all about modern precision too! While I adore the retro aesthetic, I also rely on cutting-edge gear like my Sony FX3. This allows me, Eddie, the wedding videographer, to ensure every shot is crisp, stable, and perfectly framed when needed. The magic happens in how I blend old and new. I'll use the modern cameras for those crucial, high-definition moments, ensuring pristine audio and sharp visuals, and then switch to the vintage camcorder or Super 8 for those candid, spontaneous, and truly authentic moments that add soul to your film. It’s about creating a rich tapestry of memories, giving you the best of both worlds. And of course, all that footage comes together on my modern laptop during the editing process, where I meticulously craft your narrative. Away from the lens, my life is pretty simple: my wife Angela, our four amazing cats—Thomas, Rocky, Chibs, and Wolfie—and a constant hunt for the perfect cup of coffee and a sweet treat! My love for cinema isn't just about my work; it's a huge part of who I am. I could talk for hours about films, and that passion translates directly into how I approach storytelling for your wedding. I see each couple's day as their own unique feature film, and I strive to capture not just the big events, but the subtle glances, the nervous smiles, the shared laughter – those real, unscripted moments that truly define your day. Choosing a wedding videographer is a big decision, and I want you to feel confident that your story will be told authentically and beautifully. My goal is to create a film that truly reflects your personalities and the genuine emotion of your wedding day, something that feels uniquely *yours*. If you're looking for someone who sees beyond just pointing a camera, and who is dedicated to crafting a cinematic memory with a distinctive touch, then let's connect. I'd love to hear about your vision and discuss how my blend of old and new can make your wedding film truly unforgettable. Come check out my portfolio at www.hitchesandunions.com to see what I mean!
