Durango Wedding Films

Born in Colorado, based in Durango — from courthouse ceremonies downtown to sunrise vows above 12,000 feet.

I know the light, the seasons, and the back roads better than any videographer who flies in.

Ten years of filming weddings and elopements across the San Juan Mountains, from my front door. Because Durango is home, there are never travel fees for local weddings.

Couples come here for mountain ceremonies without ski-town prices, golden cottonwoods along the Animas in fall, and a historic downtown that keeps guests happy all weekend.

Questions, answered

How much does a wedding videographer in Durango cost?
Elopement films start at $4,000 for six hours; intimate weddings at $5,000 for eight hours. Multi-day coverage quoted individually. Local weddings never include travel fees.
Do you film elopements in the mountains around Durango?
That's my specialty — Molas Pass, Engineer Mountain, Ice Lakes Basin, and the Million Dollar Highway toward Silverton and Ouray. I help choose the location and handle permits.
When is the best time of year for a Durango wedding?
June through early October is the classic window. Late September brings gold aspens; winter is quieter and dramatic with a flexible plan.
Do you also travel beyond Durango?
Constantly — Telluride, Ouray, Dunton, Moab, and destinations worldwide.
