Live Your Day. Preserve It Forever.
It all goes by in a blur.
Your beautiful film brings it all back
again and again.
Your Story. As Beautifully Told as You Lived It.
The Day You’ve Dreamed Of, Gone in a Flash?
You’ve heard it from other couples: “the day goes by so fast.” One minute you’re getting ready, the next you’re dancing at midnight – and it’s over. It’s the only time all your loved ones will be together, yet so much can be missed in the moment. You might be worrying, “We really don’t have the budget for a videographer; the good ones are far too expensive.” Maybe you’re not sure it’s worth it if the video won’t be great. At the same time, in the back of your mind you know so many brides and grooms say their biggest regret was not having a video.
Your photographers will capture beautiful stills – but photos can’t record the sound of your vows or your best friend’s hilarious toast. They can’t catch Grandma’s dance moves in motion. And your wedding day is unrepeatable; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of everyone you love. The reality is, if it isn’t filmed, so many amazing moments will simply fade from memory. You shouldn’t have to choose which memories to keep. You deserve it all.
Your Day, Filmed to Last a Lifetime
This is where I come in. Andrew Eade Cinematography exists to make sure you never miss a moment. I specialize in crafting personal, breathtaking wedding films for couples just like you – couples who want to soak in their day now and still relive every detail later. Based in Leesburg, VA, I film weddings across D.C., Maryland, Virginia and beyond.
Unlike cookie-cutter studios, I’m inspired by you and the moment – no one-size-fits-all templates. I take time to learn what matters most to you and your partner. Nervous about being on camera? Don’t be. My clients often comment on my calm, friendly presence and how I put them at ease. I’m a firm believer that the best footage happens when you’re relaxed and being yourself. On the day, you’ll likely forget you’re even being filmed – go ahead and laugh, cry, hug your friends; I’ll capture it all discreetly. With professional gear (and a bit of technical wizardry), I ensure every important shot is covered (multiple cameras, clear audio – I’ve got it handled). You get to live your wedding day to the fullest while I quietly document every angle. The end result? A stunning film that lets you re-experience your wedding – hearing the vows, seeing the smiles, feeling the emotion – anytime you want, with zero regrets.
Why You’ll Love Your Wedding Film
A Film That’s Uniquely You
Your love story isn’t like anyone else’s, and neither is your video. I take the time to understand your personalities and priorities (favorite music, must-film moments, special surprises). Whether your wedding is a chic DC ballroom or a rustic barn in the Virginia countryside, I tailor the film’s style to reflect you. The result is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that feels “so us.” It’s not just a highlight reel—it’s your story on film, told in a way you’ll recognize and love.
Never Miss a Moment
You’ll see and hear every part of your day, even the bits you didn’t catch in person. I use multiple cameras and angles to capture every angle of your event, from your walk down the aisle to the wild dance floor moves. Later, as you watch, you’ll discover priceless memories: the little glances, the jokes, the things you missed during the busy whirlwind. Nothing important gets left out of your story.
Be Fully Present
No need to play director or worry “Did we get that shot?” on your wedding day. Enjoy every second while I handle the rest. My low-key, professional approach means you won’t even notice the camera on you half the time. No awkward posing, no intrusive lights – just real, authentic moments. Couples often tell me they barely noticed being filmed at all! That means you can savor the day in the moment, trusting that everything is being captured for you to cherish later.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Most couples I work with invest between $2,500–$6,500, depending on the coverage, style, and edits they choose.

Let me know your budget and I will find a package that works for you.
Q: Can you live-stream our wedding or do other special videos?
A: Yes! I have strong experience with live streaming – I can broadcast your ceremony in real time so loved ones who can’t attend in person won’t miss out. I also offer extras like a full ceremony edit, raw footage, and even a 360° VR video add-on if you’d like an immersive way to revisit your day. Whatever your vision, we can likely accommodate it – just ask!

Q: Will having a videographer be distracting on our wedding day?
A: Not at all. My approach is very discreet and unobtrusive – no blinding lights, no yelling directions. In fact, most couples tell me they barely noticed being filmed. I blend into the background and work seamlessly alongside your photographer. You’ll be free to enjoy every moment, and I’ll quietly capture it all without interrupting the flow of your day.

I blend into the background and work seamlessly alongside your photographer. You’ll be free to enjoy every moment, and I’ll quietly capture it all without interrupting the flow of your day.
Q: We’re camera shy. Will we have to pose a lot?
A: Not at all. I specialize in capturing real, candid moments as they naturally unfold. You won’t be performing — you’ll be fully present, and I’ll be quietly documenting the story from the sidelines.
Q: Do you work well with photographers?
A: Absolutely — I always coordinate closely with your photographer to make sure we stay out of each other’s shots and work as a team. The goal is to create a seamless, enjoyable experience for you while we both capture your day beautifully.
Q: How long does it take to receive the final film?
A: You’ll typically receive your finished film within 8–12 weeks, depending on the package. I always prioritize quality and care in the editing process — and I’ll keep you updated along the way. If you purchase a live-stream package, you’ll even be able to watch your wedding within minutes of the event concluding!
Q: What happens if you get sick or there’s an emergency?
A: I have a trusted network of professional videographers I can call on in case of emergency. Your day will be covered no matter what. I will still coordinate, direct and produce the event and your final edit, so your film will always reflect my style and care.
Q: Do you video other types of events?
A: Yes — while weddings are my primary focus, I also film a variety of personal and professional events, including anniversaries, memorials, nonprofit galas, interviews, and branded storytelling for small businesses. If it’s meaningful to you or your audience, I’d love to help you capture it with the same care and cinematic quality.
Q: How long will our wedding film be?

Q: What if we’re having a nontraditional wedding or elopement?
A: I love nontraditional weddings! Whether you’re eloping in the Blue Ridge Mountains or hosting a backyard celebration, I’m all in. Just tell me your vision, and we’ll make something beautiful together.
Q: How do we book you and secure our date?
A: Just reach out through the contact form to check availability. If I’m free, I’ll send over a short agreement and retainer invoice. Once that’s signed and paid, your date is officially reserved.
