My name is Eli, and this is my wife Emily. We are newly married, and we are so excited to tell the stories of all our 2023 couples!

When couples hire us to capture their weddings, we understand how overwhelming planning a wedding can be! (We’ve been there). We also understand that picking the right person to accurately capture and retell your story is a big decision to make. 

“Eli and Emily were such a joy to work with!” - Rhonda Cummings

“They truly wanted to know our vision for our wedding day and what elements were important to us to best help create a film that best represented me and my husband!”

- Morgan Chandler

We are here to take the guesswork out of hiring a videographer.

We understand you may not know what you want or need out of your videographer, so we are here to help you learn your needs.

Whether or not we are a good fit for each other, we are here to educate you on all the things we think you should consider when hiring your videographer. 

All that being said, here’s a little more about us! 

I am 22 years old, and Emily is 20!

We were just married in February of 2023!

We love the water! We both lived on different parts of the Pungo River in Eastern NC before being married. We absolutely love being immersed in God’s creation through our love of sailing, exploring, and going on adventures together!

As a matter of fact, I proposed to Emily on my sailboat. I have never been so nervous in my life! (Don’t worry, I didn’t drop the ring)

We cherish our story, and we know you cherish yours too.

Over the past few years, we have been humbled to be trusted by so many engaged couples! If you want us to create a story-driven film centered on your relationship, please feel free to reach out to us so we can talk about your video needs!

“Powell Filmmaking was the last vendor I booked because I was unsure if I really wanted/needed a video of the day when I knew there would be ample pictures taken. With that being said, I was absolutely AMAZED with how our three minute video turned out. I was crying within the first 10 seconds.”
