The 8 Best Wedding Videographers in Tampa

Searching for the best Tampa wedding videographers to capture every moment of your big day? We at Peerspace know how hard it can be to consider all the options. After all, Tampa is a hotbed of talent! From its family photographers to its lifestyle photographers, having your wedding there means not needing to look very far for your dream vendors.

But one vendor you shouldn’t forget is your videographer. Adding a filmmaker to your team gives even the photographer more to work with. Video can capture so much that still photography can’t and vice versa, making it a winning combo. If you’re not sure where to look for either, our guides on Tampa wedding videographers and wedding photographers have you covered. Not convinced? Take a look at the magic these wedding movie moguls create.

1. Bonnie Newman Creative

This team of best friends, Bonnie Newman and Jon Marsley, will never let you down. Why hire separately when you can hit two birds with one wedding ring? Filmmaker Bonnie executes phenomenal editing, splicing footage together in a way that makes it seem like all these things are happening at once. Her videos are also beautifully framed and use some of Tampa’s best places to add to the day’s meaning. Furthermore, we appreciate her use of music and the way she employs saturated tones that can make the warm glow of Tampa Bay at sunset look like a fairy tale.

Check out what one of their many, many happy brides had to share after working with them. “Having #TeamBonJon there to capture our wedding day was the best investment we could have made. Make the investment in these two. You won’t regret it if you do, but you’ll definitely regret it if you don’t”. Team BonJon has also received numerous WPPI Grand Awards for their short films. There is just so much to love about this duo!

2. Ashley Canay

An Ashley Canay wedding film means luxury and inspired ideas. With a decade of experience under her belt, a strong network of fellow creatives, and the desire to continue to learn, she’s cultivated her own robust signature style.

Her wedding films have the feeling of your parents’ home video for the modern age, edited in a way that makes them equal parts fun and timeless. Good editing doesn’t always mean strong, forced filters, and we love Ashley’s way of taking every moment as it is, creating a divine final result.

3. Shannon Kelly Films

Wedding videographer Shannon Kelly has a vibrant, optimistic way of looking at life. This is a trait that, whether deliberate or not, she includes in each of her wedding movies. Her films are deeply romantic, following the couple’s story on the best day of their lives. We adore the way she frames her shots, not always stable or set with her subjects in the center. Every single shot glows, showing an understanding of the Floridian light you can’t find anywhere else. With videos that look like a dream, you can’t go wrong with this master filmmaker.

We also love how Shannon describes her style when it comes to matching her work to her clients’ needs. “Each wedding and each couple’s journey is unique – learning that story is my favorite part of this “job.” There’s no template to my films – I craft each film to fit my couples, their personalities, and their story.”

4. Darin Peachee of A Peachy Life Productions

The warmth and joy that comes through Darin’s videos are palpable. Even the bloopers and small clips he provides are done with an air of professionalism and fun. That includes vows, first looks, kisses, and speeches throughout the day. When you watch his videos back, you’ll smile at every carefully framed scene of your loved ones on your big day. Darin creates keepsakes, home videos through the expert lens of a professional who truly cares.

5. Malachi Cull of Allure Cinema

Malachi Cull, owner and lead cinematographer of Allure Cinema, has a love of filmmaking that goes back to childhood. The nostalgia of watching films as a child could have a lot to do with how he creates his wedding films. Working alongside his staff of trained filmmakers, Malachi’s cinematic wedding videos are jaw-dropping and yet understated.

With inspired music choices and vintage coloring that makes great use of natural light, the Allure team knows that filmmaking is an art form. Many of their artistic cuts, angles, and transitions gave us goosebumps!

6. Devon and Rachel of Labif Filmhouse

The dynamic team behind the lenses of Labif Filmhouse comprises Devon and Rachel. These two perceptive filmmakers create boutique wedding films out of St. Petersburg, Tampa, and beyond. Traditional isn’t a word used often when it comes to their films, and with good reason.

On the contrary, they use totally unique editing styles that change throughout the videos. From close-up pans to outtakes from the reception and wedding, their videos are so clean, crisp, and always one of a kind. In fact, they’re raising the bar for creativity when it comes to Tampa wedding videographers. They even offer an elopement collection and live streaming services, unique options for non-traditional couples.

7. James and Katie of Imagery Wedding Films

Trust a pair of Tampa wedding videographers who actually are a couple, and you’ll be so glad you did. Husband-and-wife duo James and Katie know what it’s like to be on both sides of the camera. We particularly like the way they slow down their frames to match the music; it’s an art sometimes misplaced in videos. And, honestly, it’s why making wedding videos is so hard unless you know what you’re doing. Lastly, we’re obsessed with their use of darker tones, heavy on shadow and contrast that brings warmth to every second.

James and Katie also appreciate what videography meant at their wedding and want to pay that forward. “Videography was a special moment for us because very special friends who have had a significant influence on us were there to capture our magical day- and we’re excited to share it with you here.”

8. Bonnet Charles of Priceless Studio Design

Bonnet Charles’s wedding films are, as his studio’s name might tell you, priceless. His colors are highly saturated, with a lot of vibrance that makes every shine on a glass or ring stand out. Though we love every part of his films, it’s the colors that pop that we love and appreciate the most. It’s far easier and more forgiving to make things desaturated since the contrast isn’t always the most forgiving. However, Bonnet’s films make it look effortless, and we want to see more wedding videos like his.

Check out what Bonnet says makes his work stand out from the crowd. “The reason we have seen such success, is we don’t take the easy way out. We don’t offer “cheap junk” for wedding films. Notice the difference in our films? It is because we take them very seriously. We take YOU very seriously. We want you to be able to take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the day.”

Bonus: Kemari Lyn Films

Kemari Lyn Films is the much-lauded brainchild of cinematographer Kemari and her husband, Jacob. This duo dedicates their business to capturing luxury destination weddings throughout south Florida and beyond. Their bright, vibrant style is the visual match for celebrating a true, lasting romance. Plus, they offer packages that suit every type of wedding, which is convenient whether you’re planning a massive blow-out wedding or an intimate elopement.

And after looking through their portfolio, we can say for certainty that their work lives up to their lovely mission statement. “Intentionally crafted, narrative driven, and celebratory wedding films that transcend time“. If that’s what you’re looking for (and who isn’t?!) contact Kemari Lyn Films post haste!
