A Wedding Videographer Alternative for Couples Who Want Something More Candid

WHY THE WEEKEND TAPE
A Wedding Video That Feels Like Your Wedding
The Weekend Tape puts a camcorder in the hands of the people who already know you best. They capture the ceremony from their seat, cocktail hour from inside the conversation, and the dance floor from the middle of it.
You send the kit back after the wedding, and we turn what they captured into a nostalgic wedding home movie filled with the moments you saw — and the ones you didn’t.
