About
Hi, I’m Nate, a director and filmmaker specializing in cinematic wedding films across New England.
After filming hundreds of weddings, one thing has stayed true: the moments that matter most can’t be staged. My approach is calm and non-invasive. I read the room, anticipate rather than direct, and capture candid moments as they naturally unfold — so you can stay fully present.
In post-production, I focus on authenticity. Natural tones, intentional pacing, and storytelling that reflects how the day truly felt — not trends that fade. The goal is simple: preserve the emotion of your wedding in a way that still resonates decades from now.
If you value a film that feels timeless, honest, and cinematic, I’d love to connect.
Thanks,
Nate

Nate was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was just as enthusiastic about our day as we were and he put a lot of thought and effort into the details that he caught for our film. We had some great calls with Nate to discuss our vision leading up to the day and on the day of, family members noticed he barely took a break, ensuring to capture as much as he could. Attaching some stills of the video here, but they do not do it justice. Nate was clever in how he did the intro, using our brother-in-law (our officiant’s) voice and some perfect music selections to highlight the ceremony. We are so happy with the finished product and would highly suggest hiring him! If we have an opportunity in the future we will hire him again. Thank you Nate for capturing our special day!

I hired Nate for a videography project to capture one of my keynote speeches, and from our very first phone call, I knew I was in great hands. With the examples and vision I provided him, he was able to create what I needed and then some.
He immediately understood my vision and thoughtfully planned the perfect day to capture every element I wanted—and more.
Nate is incredibly professional, creative, and detail-oriented, and he delivered a final video that went far beyond my expectations. If excellence is what you’re looking for in a video project, I can’t recommend Nate highly enough.

We hired Nate to capture our corporate event in April 2025, and he exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nate not only filmed the entire event but also provided high-quality still images, giving us a well-rounded collection of moments. He went above and beyond to ensure every detail was covered, and his work truly reflected the energy and spirit of the day. I highly recommend Nate to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated videographer.
Nate is one of the most professional videographers who absolutely nailed a project. I turned him for help to interview an MIT professor who is one of the most influential leaders in the supply chain industry and Nate exceeded expectations every step of the way The video is going to play a key role in our product strategy, and the set up of the frame was brilliant with the blue background behind the map. Nate had great ideas and suggestions and came prepared to exceed expectations. I can’t say enough good things about the opportunity to work with Nate and highly recommend him for corporate productions and look forward to the opportunity to hire him again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates reflect full creative oversight from start to finish. I personally handle filming and editing, and each project receives focused attention rather than being processed in volume. I book selectively to protect that standard. Couples investing in my work are typically looking for a refined, story-driven film that will hold value long after the wedding day.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin with a conversation to understand the tone of your wedding and what matters most to you. From there, I coordinate behind the scenes so coverage feels smooth and unobtrusive. On the wedding day, I move intentionally and stay aware of the environment, capturing events as they unfold. Afterward, I build the film carefully, shaping it into something cohesive and emotionally grounded.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My background is in professional filmmaking and commercial production. Working in those environments demands precision, consistency, and strong narrative structure — all of which translate directly into weddings. The result is work that feels polished without losing authenticity.
