My name is Ehud. This is why I film weddings.
I was born and raised in New Jersey, four miles from New York City. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved movies, and have been a storyteller and a romantic at heart.
As I matured in life, it became clear my favorite stories - regardless of genre - were those that explored love, vulnerability, and connection. This influenced me to write screenplays and make films about these very themes, all the way through my years at NYU Tisch Film School.
Being a screenwriter and director, my mind is always working to illuminate the heart and depth of any given story, especially a love story. The problem is, I only get to explore those stories on paper and on film sets a couple weeks out of the year.
So when I’m not writing screenplays or on film sets, why do I make wedding films full-time?
I started filming weddings because I firmly believe every couple’s journey is a goldmine for storytelling — an artful time capsule that both you and future generations will cherish. And this doesn’t mean me twisting your wedding day to be something it’s not for the camera. Quite the opposite. All the raw emotion is abundantly present in the way you look at each other, and your history is compellingly clear in the way friends and family speak about you.
This, to me, is the true potential and excitement of fusing storytelling with weddings: Exalting your love story in the cinema-grade quality it demands.
My ultimate mission is to elevate the idea of a wedding films to a high art, so that you have a moving portrait to represent your love in that moment and preserve your legacy over time.
Why Hire a Wedding Filmmaker?
It's no secret that wedding videographers have long been the last vendors for couples to hire, if at all. And for some valid reasons - but those reasons are quickly changing. Here are a few cases why you should not only hire a wedding filmmaker, but prioritize one.
​
1. Technology
When people hear 'wedding videographer' they often imagine of a geeky uncle running around with a camcorder at their parents' wedding, recording unwatchable footage. And when they think of photographer, they envision the gorgeous, classy photos in their family dining room.
This is because in the 1990s digital video was a very new and expensive technology, about a century behind photography. But technology has caught up in the last thirty years, and especially in the past ten.
Today, wedding filmmakers have access to digital cameras that produce images nearly as advanced as those used in Hollywood movies. This is transforming the wedding industry and what is possible with wedding films. You are now able to recollect your day visually and sonically in a quality that was never possible before, on the big screen.
​
2. Culture
With these technological advances, newer generations are increasingly leaning on video for their most important life experiences. The same way we reminisce through our parents' wedding photo albums, your children will be looking back at videos to learn about who you and your family truly were at this pivotal time.
​
3. Experience
Most importantly, digital film - or video - simply allows you to revisit people, places, and moments in a way nothing else can. You're able to recall how your parents laughed and moved, or perhaps how a grandparent spoke in a distinct manner.
I personally only have photos of my ancestors that brought my family here from Europe, some of them holding me as a baby. I wish I had videos of them that showed me who they were as people, and so I could learn more about myself.
These tender moments and memories are why I treat capturing high quality imagery and sound so seriously, and why I believe you should too.
