Hi, I’m Kaitie!

I’m an award-winning wedding videographer in Minneapolis, and I’m here to capture your memories. I’m an expert on getting those little moments filled with big emotions.

I'm a born and raised Minnesotan who geeks out over books (especially smutty fantasy ones), loves to travel, and has a diet that is made up by 50% iced coffee. 

My ultimate goal is to provide my clients with a true to life, documentary style wedding video that showcases your wedding day in a fun, authentic way.

You’ll see REAL clips of your loved ones who came to celebrate, not just posed, slow-motion clips from your portrait sessions.

  1. Captures Real, Unscripted Moments
    We focus on capturing genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and atmosphere of your wedding day, creating a video that feels natural and authentic.

  2. Avoids Stiff Shots
    Our approach avoids stiff, posed shots. Instead, we capture the raw, candid moments that make your day uniquely yours, without interrupting the flow of the celebration.

  3. Uses a Storytelling Approach
    Every couple has a unique love story, and our goal is to tell yours in an intimate and creative way, highlighting personal moments that are meaningful to you.

  4. Emphasizes on Atmosphere and Emotion
    We focus on the emotions, the small details, and the atmosphere of your wedding, ensuring that your video is a true reflection of how you felt throughout the day—no staged, artificial moments.

  5. Focuses on the Big Picture, Not Just the Details
    While we’ll still capture your beautiful details, our priority is on the overall narrative—how the day unfolds and the connections between people that make it so special.

  6. Personalizes the Filmmaking
    We tailor each video to the unique personalities and vibes of the couple, ensuring that the final product feels like your story, not a one-size-fits-all template.

  7. Values Authenticity Over Perfection
    Our documentary style values the authenticity of moments, rather than striving for “perfect” shots. It’s about capturing the essence of your day, imperfections and all, for a more heartfelt result.

  8. Is Unscripted
    Unlike traditional wedding videography, we don’t rely on a set script or checklist of shots. Instead, we adapt to what’s happening in real-time to tell the most authentic version of your wedding.

  9. Highlights Relationships, Not Just the Couple
    We focus on the relationships that surround you—family, friends, and loved ones—capturing their joy and connection as they celebrate with you, creating a more holistic view of your wedding day.

  10. Creates Timeless Films
    Documentary-style videos don’t rely on trends or overly stylized shots that might age poorly. The story of your day will remain timeless, something you can look back on and appreciate for years to come.

  11. Provides Long-Term Value
    A non-traditional, documentary wedding video focuses on the moments that truly matter—emotions, connections, and memories that won’t fade. This type of video becomes a cherished heirloom, not just something that looks good in a highlight reel.

We are a perfect fit if you’re looking for someone who:

  • Katie & Tom

    I was very on the fence about hiring a videographer but am SO GLAD Kaitie was able to film our special day! She was there the entire day, got drone footage, and captured the key moments absolutely perfectly. There are some things you can’t capture with photos. Having our vows and speeches retell our day was so special. 10/10 recommend!!!!

  • Jade & CHristian

    Kaitie was an absolute joy to work with and we could not be more pleased with our highlight video, ceremony, speeches, and first dance videos. Kaitie had great communication and always was attentive to our wants and needs. Anna was able to capture our day as Kaitie was able to beautifully edit all of this footage. They went above and beyond, we will cherish these videos forever!

  • Jessica & Ryan

    We love our wedding video that Kaitie created! She took the time to personalize our video and did a great job capturing the special moments from our wedding! The video is a great keepsake to have that we will always cherish! In addition to her talented editing skills, Kaitie was always very responsive and took the time to get to know us as a couple before working with us which we greatly appreciated! Highly recommend her as a videographer!

  • Nicole & Alex

    Kaitie is the absolute best! She is so amazing to work with and has the best personality to keep your day going! If there are any issues, she is the first to find a solution to fix it. She captures every important moment and makes you feel like a queen on your special day. Kaitie makes everything flow and feel less stressful with her contagious laugh and down to earth personality. There is no one I would've rather had by my side during my special day. Absolutely recommend using her!!
