Your once-in-a-Lifetime event deserves to be relived forever as a wedding film

OH MY GAAAAAWWWWD NATE, THAT WAS... I have no words, is what that was! I'm speechless. I loved every second of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Logistics of Luxury, How We Bring the Same Cinematic Standard to Any Location

A destination wedding changes the variables.


Being closer to the equator shifts your light. Humidity affects gear. A venue three time zones away means backup cards and cameras aren't optional, they're required.


We travel with redundant Cinema Line Sony FX3 & FX30 bodies, backup audio gear, pre-scout lighting windows against your ceremony time, and build a shot list around your specific location's golden hour, not a generic template as I act as your day-of consultant, audio engineer & destination wedding videographer.

Your Path to a Timeless Film, No Matter the Distance

1. Discovery call

2. planning

Once the retainer is made & contract is signed, we start planning and enter pre-production. If included in your package, we'll schedule your engagement session close to where you live, unless you want to take me with you somewhere far away!

3. actioN!

On the day of the engagement, or wedding, you can relax knowing I will take care of all the posing & directing so you two can focus on each other and the love that you share. I'll give you prompts that'll reveal genuine reactions for real emotional connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a destination wedding videographer?

Most destination couples book 9 to 12 months out to lock in travel dates and secure the date on our calendar before it fills.

What is the travel fee for a destination wedding videographer?

Destination travel fees typically run $1,500 to $3,500 depending on location and length of stay. This covers flights, lodging, and gear transport. Chicago is excluded from this fee since Nate splits his time there year-round.

Do you have monthly payment plans?

I absolutely do. I actually prefer to setup monthly payment plans.

Do you have business insurance?

Yes. It is a $2M business liability policy provided by Full Frame Insurance. I also carry professional liability as well.

When will we get our videos?

Standard delivery is up to 4 weeks for the trailer and up to 16 weeks for the highlight, but rush services are available for quicker delivery.

Why is that? Because video editing is much more labor intensive than photos and can easily take 40+ hours to edit a trailer + highlight film.

Once finished, you will receive an online gallery link with your videos and/or photos to download & share!

Can some package add-on's be dropped & changed?

Of course, as long as it's not the engagement session coverage!

The engagement session is a vital step, almost a near requirement, not only for us to meet before your wedding day, but so you also can learn how I pose & what to expect on the day-of.

If it is not needed, an extra hour on day-of may be substituted.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. We film weddings outside Baltimore, DC, and Chicago on a regular basis. Travel logistics are built into your quote at the discovery call.

What kind of payment methods do you accept?

I accept all major credit/debit cards or ACH transfers via Square or Stripe.

Do you include a 2nd professional videographer?

So I've been a solo shooter for the past 3 years and I actually rarely have a 2nd videographer but it is available for an additional $150/hr+ hour.

However, the Premiere package does includes a 2nd videographer.

How long with my highlight video be?

Generally, it depends on the length of coverage needed for the event & the amount of content there is to capture.

We do offer multiple coverage options which allow for enough content to be captured to produce a cinematic highlight film ranging 3 to 5+ minutes.

We typically do not offer extended documentary cut films (ie. 15+ minutes), but certain exemptions may be made.

What's the best way to contact you?

I am an introvert so I'm a texter or emailer by default. The fastest & easiest way to contact me is filling out my Contact form. You may also reach to me on IG @thegreatstateofnate

What kind of gear do you shoot on?

My nickname in the photo/video community is affectionately "Netflix Nate."

I shoot primarily on a Netflix-capable Sony FX3 & FX30 Cinema Line camera. I also have a Sony A7 III 4K capable camera for a 3rd body with Sony & Tamron lenses ranging from super wide 20mm to a 180mm telephoto.

Stabilization: Ronin-S gimbal and Avella carbon fiber monopod w/ K5 Komodo video head.

Lighting: Godox LA200BI for key & ML60BI for fill light plus two CAME-TV Q-Series 55W spotlights.

Audio: DJI Mics, Tascam DR-10L's wired lavaliers and a Tascam DR-40x field recorder.
