Thumbtack does not allow me to put full emails or websites in the profile, so use @ for (at) and . for (dot). They just recently quadrupled their prices so it costs me $45 to respond to you on Thumbtack. So email is best and free communication for both of us!
As a documentary filmmaker, I approach filming weddings, events, and promotional videos by observing and capturing authentic moments. When watching video, people can feel what's genuine and truthful, and what's forced and fake. My goal is to be discrete yet intimate in my filming and then precise in my editing and use of music. My style allows me to provide couples with an accurate and engaging story of the day through high quality video and sound.
I love documenting wedding days. Photos inspire couples to have memories sparked, but videos allow couples to re-live their wedding day, which flies by in an emotional and exciting blur. It's amazing to be a part of preserving something so personal and special.

Within 5 minutes of downloading this app I searched for a videographer for our wedding. Dan responded immediately. I read his reviews, looked at his work and the rest is history! I could not have found a better videographer if I had compared 10 people (which I did not!) Everything from start to finish was seamless. He was extremely prompt and professional in every facet. He made this a very simple, easy process from set up to payment. I give him 5 stars because I would choose him again in a minute and I will tell anyone who is planning a wedding or event the same thing. Oh,..... and the finished product, our wedding video........AMAZING!!!!!

Dan did a phenomenal job for my wife and I on our wedding day. He got tons of great footage and edited it into both short and long versions. The music he chose as background was excellent and had good variety. Dan was super easy to work with and very reasonably priced. He promptly answered any emails or questions we had leading up to our big day. I would highly recommend him for any videography project.

BEST MONEY SPENT on wedding! When you’re building the wedding budget: keep the line item for wedding videographer and put Dan Ketchum’s name as vendor. My groom was initially hesitant on the whole idea of a wedding video with fears of weird videographer with a giant, tacky camcorder, but Dan squashes all those fears & hesitations. We appreciated how Dan flawlessly captured all those moments of our day without “being in the way.” Nothing was forced; nothing to “pose-y” looking either. The finished product greatly exceeded our expectations. The way he edits and transitions clips and music in our wedding video was perfect. He has this way of capturing all the emotions of your wedding that you’re smiling through your eyes, holding back happy tears, laughing with your whole body, yet sitting in silence as your video plays on. He listened to all our concerns and is so responsive leading up to the wedding and especially during the editing process. We had an awesome day and we now have an awesome wedding video depicting just that. Wedding pictures are great, but pictures can only take you so far to remembering your wedding day. Our video really puts to us back in the moments of our special day, on a whole other level that pictures just can’t quite capture. Best thing during this whole process was my now husband, a man of very few words, even agreed on how impressed he was with Dan’s video. He now exclaims that this was best money we spent on our wedding. Don’t make the mistake and not get your day videotaped. Make sure it’s with Dan. You won’t regret it. He’s a great person and he’s the one you will want to capture your day. Trust me!
