Luxury wedding films in Nashville & destinations worldwide
feeling
This is the you’ll want to remember for the rest of your lives
From the anticipation of getting ready to the joy of your celebration, we document every chapter of your story.
Our films weave together the intimate details, emotional moments, and grand celebrations into a cohesive narrative that feels both timeless and uniquely yours.
It's the authentic, unguarded moments that make the most beautiful films
The way you laugh together. How your families embrace. The way your bodies move together on the dance floor when the music takes over. These are the moments that matter, and they're the ones we're here to capture.
The real artistry is in the craft, quietly noticing the details, honoring the emotion, and weaving it all together into something that feels alive every time you watch it.

featured films
I’m Ryan from Ember & Ash. I've been documenting life's most meaningful moments since I could hold a camera. What draws me to wedding films isn't just the artistry. It's the privilege of witnessing love in its purest form and creating something that honors that gift.
my work
connection matters most, and authenticity always shines brighter than performance. I want couples to feel at ease, to know exactly what they’re getting with me—someone who shows up, who cares deeply, and who captures the real, unguarded story.
has been shaped by two guiding beliefs:
My style is what I call cinematic documentary. Films that are beautifully shot and editorially polished, but always emotionally honest and true to the day. I’ll guide gently when needed, but I believe the best stories unfold naturally.
One of the best things about being a wedding videographer is that I get to dream up ideas with my couples and share their stories with the world. When I’m not doing that, you’ll find me spending time with my wife and two dogs, or taking in live music with an Old Fashioned in hand.

Inquiry
Fill out the contact form below and tell me a little about your wedding plans, even if they’re still in the early stages. I’ll be in touch to schedule a casual discovery call so we can chat, get to know each other, and see if we’re the right fit.
lET'S TALK
On our call, we’ll talk through your needs, your vision, and what kind of support would serve you best. I’ll walk you through the packages, listen to your questions, and offer gentle guidance on what might be most helpful.
Proposal and Planning
After our call, I’ll send a personalized proposal your way. If everything looks good, you’ll sign the contract and pay your deposit, and I’ll set up your planning portal. With the details in place, we’ll begin planning entirely around you.
cHECK-IN
About a month before your wedding, I’ll reach out for a touchpoint. We can revisit your timeline, talk through any changes, and make sure everything feels aligned. If you’d rather keep things simple, I’ll keep it light—it’s all about supporting you without overwhelm.
The Wedding Day
When I arrive, I like to first connect without the gear—to greet you, meet your family, and bring calm energy into the room. From there, I’ll document your day as it unfolds naturally. My role is to let authentic moments shine, step in with gentle direction only when inspiration strikes, and work seamlessly alongside your photographer. You’ll find me celebrating right there with you (even on the dance floor).
How to book your luxury wedding film
frequently asked questions
For weddings within a 2–4 hour drive from Nashville, I simply add a small fee to cover travel. If flying is required, I’ll create a custom quote that includes flights, lodging (usually at the same hotel as guests, for ease), and arrival at least a day or two early to ensure I’m there well ahead of time. My goal is to keep travel as seamless, transparent and cost-effective as possible.
What is your travel policy?
Your memories are priceless, and I take safeguarding them seriously. On the wedding day, my cameras record simultaneously to two memory cards, so there’s always a duplicate on hand. Afterward, every film is backed up in three places: my main editing drive, a secondary storage drive, and a secure cloud-based backup. I never delete raw footage—ever. If years down the line you want a clip of a loved one, I’ll still have it safely stored.
How do you handle file backup and storage?
Fill out the form below and share a little about your plans. Every couple’s journey is different, so this is simply a way to start the conversation. From there, we’ll set up a discovery call to connect, talk through your vision, and begin shaping a collection that feels right for you.
