— Welcome

Your wedding day passes in an afternoon.
The film stays a lifetime.

I'm Taras Vernyi. I've spent over twelve years behind a camera and the last decade filming weddings — because a wedding film is the one thing that lets you step back inside your day, ten or twenty years from now, and feel it all over again.

I film like
I'm a guest,
not a director.

I shot my first wedding in 2015, and in the years since I've learned one thing: the moments that matter most are almost never the ones that are posed. They happen in the quiet seconds — a glance, a laugh during vows, a hand reaching for another hand.

My style is cinematic but never intrusive. Couples often tell me they didn't notice when I was there — and that's exactly the point. I want your day to feel like yours, not like a production.

Because in twenty years, the only way to feel this day again is to press play. That's what I'm here to make possible.

"Our wedding video came out perfect and gives us goosebumps every time we watch it. It's like watching a movie."

— Frequently Asked

Things couples often ask.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book about a year in advance, though I do take bookings a few months out when my calendar allows. Prime dates in peak season fill early, so reach out as soon as your date is set.

When will we receive our film?

The highlight film (the short, cinematic version you'll share first) is delivered within 30 days of your wedding. The full-length film follows within 120 days. Rush delivery is available on request.

How many cameras will be at our wedding?

Every wedding is covered with between two and four cameras, depending on the scale of the day. This lets me capture key moments — ceremony, vows, first dance — from multiple angles without being intrusive.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes — I travel across the US regularly for weddings. Travel and accommodations are calculated transparently based on location, and I'm always happy to arrive a day early to scout the venue.

Do you offer photography as well?

Yes. While I personally focus on film, I work with a trusted photography team and can offer combined photo + video coverage for couples who want everything handled by one studio.

What's your process from inquiry to final film?

We start with a short call to understand your day. Once booked, I'll send a simple questionnaire and check in as the date approaches. After the wedding, you'll receive your highlight film first, then the full-length film — delivered digitally.
