Wedding Documentaries for All Couples

Are you creating the ceremony yourselves so that it expresses what's most important to you?    

If so, these are the kinds of events I enjoy filming most of all. Ever since I shot my first films of West African ceremonies over 20 years ago, I've had an eye and a knack for catching the nuances of events where tradition and change meet and mingle.

It is fun to imagine that when your descendants see your wedding documentary, there's a good chance they'll see the roots of ceremonial elements that have since become one of their traditions.   --Carlyn

All works by Your Story Matters are presented
on indexed DVD's.

"Dear Carlyn,

You captured both the flow of events from informal to ceremonial and back without a hitch and the emotions of our nearest and dearest. You put people at ease whether you were filming candidly or doing your conversational interview magic.

We were not sure we even wanted a wedding video at first. Then your approach as a trained documentary producer and personal historian changed our minds. You understood right away what we wanted and the video is nothing shy of a masterpiece."

Mari and Craig Mielcarski, Amherst, MA
