You deserve to celebrate however you want.
It’s so difficult to squeeze a whole wedding day into 5 minutes, which is exactly why I craft your story as a true film– a narrative that encapsulates all the mushy gushy stuff without losing sight of who you are to yourselves and each other.
My approach to storytelling is pretty simple. The “plot” carries the film. That’s actually where “burnt toast” came from; so many of my films are built around the truly heartfelt moments at a wedding– the toasts!
Listen, if you’re looking for stuffy, posed “moments” that tell me nothing about you, I’m not your guy. There’s no cookie-cutting here. Just laughter, love, and some great storytelling.

You’re investing in me, and it’s important I invest in you. It’s my job to present your love story in a way that is true to YOU.
No edits are the same because no couples are the same. I don’t follow a particular format when I’m creating. Using a creative storytelling lens, I follow the genuine moments captured on film and weave them into a narrative that truly encapsulates your essence.
If you are even remotely thinking about doing a videographer…DO IT….first off meeting Nick we loved his style and personality and we all just clicked…all of our footage from our adventure session to our wedding well…I literally have no words. I just can’t put into words how amazing his work is…gosh do not skip on this i HIGHLY recommend Nick I am so very thankful to have met him and had him capture this
His unique and quirky approach adds an extra layer of fun to a wedding day. With his unconventional-in-the-very-best-way style, he manages to expertly capture the essence of the couple's personality, turning his films into vibrant, memorable masterpieces. If you're looking for a videographer who can infuse a touch of whimsy into your wedding memories, Nick is a top-notch choice. Five stars for his creativity and infectious enthusiasm!”
My husband and I are still BEAMING from our wedding day. One of the biggest reasons why our day was so special, was working with the Burnt Toast Film Co. team. Nick is fun, kind, professional, creative and organized. He worked so well with us, our bridal party, and our other vendors. We got SO MANY complements throughout the night. It’s been 4 days since our wedding day, and we already have our teaser trailer! We are so impressed, so grateful, and our family and friends are RAVING over our film. Our day was so magical, and Nick captured it so beautifully. Best wedding videographer we could have asked for.”
Picture this: you - me - all hangin' out getting to know each other better. This is the part where we dig a bit deeper into your story. I wanna hear all about it! How'd you meet? What was the first impression? What is your favorite quirk about your partner? All of these questions (and more) help me piece together a narrative that influences your film.
I’ll send you over all the info you need to decide if it’s true love– package information, a custom proposal, and all the nitty gritty details. If you’re feeling good, sign and make your deposit. With the legal stuff outta the way, we can dig into your wedding day questionnaire. Tell me everything and anything you feel is important for me to know to totally nail your film narrative.
Adventure session time! These sessions take place on a single day (up to 4 hours) before your wedding. The goal is to do an activity that is special to you. Think of it as a date with a dude following you around with a camera asking questions. This is usually one of my couples’ favorite parts of the process. Need ideas? I've got a million. You could take a cooking class, throw axes, hike, or kick back and float down the river on an inner tube. We'll be able to get to know each other better and get some extra footage to add to your film!
I get it– whether you're eloping or having a traditional wedding, planning can get pretty stressful. I've been in this industry for many years and have had the opportunity to network with quite a few wonderful vendors and travel to some spectacular venues & locations. Don't let the stress get to ya; I'm here to help. From vendor recommendations to permit planning to general travel tips; all you gotta do is ask!
All the preparation and build-up has finally paid off. I thrive in high-pressure situations; however, I want to match your energy. If you feel like taking things down a notch and chilling, I'm ready to meet you at that level. At every shoot, I strive to capture all the most important moments, making sure to capture every angle and ensure the highest quality audio and lighting.
Always for weddings. For elopements, it’s just me and you.
I am part 107 certified and always try to fly my drone, weather and restrictions permitting.
YES! I believe that it is absolutely necessary to get to know you both on a deeper level to be able to tell your love story in an authentic and complete way. I strive to deliver thematic feature films rather than simple collages of your wedding day.
This process starts with our intake call. I want to know how you met, the highs and lows of your relationship, what draws you to each other, how you interact with your families/friends and what you believe that your future together will hold! The second step is to meet up for an adventure session.
Once I've gotten to know you both, I am able to approach your wedding day with a narrative already in mind. As a videographer, I believe that it is my job to tell your love story in a way that is true to YOU. No edits are the same because no couples are exactly the same!
I get it, a budget is a budget and weddings can get SO expensive. I also believe in the 'you get what you pay for' principle. Because I position myself to invest so deeply in the couples I work with, I ask you to invest in me, your story-teller, as well. My prices (local to Ohio & Colorado) for weddings start at $3,750 with elopements starting at $3,000.
Picture a mad scientist in his laboratory. I've always had trouble relaxing knowing there's work to be done. Anytime I finish shooting a wedding, the ONLY thing on my mind is the edit. There's something wildly exciting to me about sifting through the footage of a wedding day. Piecing together your story is an intense puzzle and I'm always up for the challenge!
If you're imagining popping over to my place to pull up a chair and walk me through shot by shot, I'm not likely your guy ;) However, I recognize that this is not MY film; your unique story will guide me.
While you may not have a direct line of input; all of the vows, toasts, letter reads, interactions with your family and friends, interests as well as the story I've gotten to know, will inform the edit! At the end of the day, I want you to be able to look back on your feature film with joy and a feeling of it being authentic to YOU!
Personally, I often remember the big events in my life through the album I was listening to at the time. So, choosing the music for your wedding video is a HUGE deal to me and something I put a lot of heart and soul into. I’ll ask what songs and genres you both love (and hate) and use that as a guide when licensing music, but always choose songs that fit the wedding day and the moments happening over top of the music.
Oh, and if you’re looking to use somebody like Ed Sheeran...legally & artistically, it just ain't gonna fly. I have to license music through certain avenues to credit all those hard-working musicians for creating the soundtrack for your film! There's also a huge element of build and emotion when it comes to picking the perfect track. It’s an art in itself that I take great pride in. Sound design and scoring a film is one of my favorite aspects of editing!
To reserve your wedding day, we require a non-refundable retainer payment of $1,500 upon booking! The remainder of the chosen package and add-ons will be due one month before your wedding date.
Yes and no. If your wedding day details are settled, your package pricing will reflect the estimated travel expenses! If your venue location isn't booked, I can add them on later!
AB-SO-LUTE-LY. I'm a big believer in vendors working together as a team to create a seamless experience on your wedding day! I've worked with quite a few over the years and have created a list of vendors that produce high quality services but also work & communicate well with other vendors! Just let me know who you're looking for and I'll send over the names :)
