Their Instagram page features more of their still photography work (which is beautiful, by the way), so that’s what we’ve featured here today. However, if you visit the cinematography portion of their website, you’ll get the pleasure and privilege of seeing how their stunning videography projects complement and enhance their photography work.

3. Riverlight Films

Serving both the DC and NYC areas, Riverlight Films is next up on our list of top Washington, DC, wedding videographers. Run by Josh Rodriguez, with the help of his wife Valentina, Riverlight Films produces dynamic, dramatic wedding videos that center all around capturing the moments that, in the rush of the day, you might otherwise have forgotten. Their aesthetic lends itself to the earthy, the rich and full, the warmth radiating inside and out that is impossible to mistake, especially when it comes to the depths of human and soul connection. Their work absolutely stunned us from the moment we found them!

4. David Salebe Films

A cinematographer to the stars, David Salebe has worked with the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Naomi Campbell, Jay-Z, and more — not to mention that he’s been featured on TLC’s Four Weddings, too!  Needless to say, he’s in high demand. He cites his “non-traditional” style and his motivation to capture the truth of the event in question, and his wedding videography accomplishes exactly that. The video featured here encapsulates all the emotions of the day — from the sweet stillness of their private moments alone to the grand reception entrance to the party popping late into the night — serving as a perfect example of the work David has delivered throughout his successful tenure.

5. 8 Media Group

The biz 8 Media Group, comprised of partners Chris, Brenner, and Ivan, is a well-known name in the DC area, providing high-quality photography and videography services for clients, such as Variety, Carnegie Hall, NARS, Brides, and the United Nations Foundation. They offer marketing and entertainment services in addition to their event, wedding, and corporate visual media offerings. Their creative range is massively impressive, but we’re especially taken by their wedding work. Just look at the video featured here, with its careful balance between timeless romanticism and modern-day editorial style.

6. Paperboys

Jordan Eberlain, Matt Armstrong, Josh Olson, and Simon Cook are the brains behind Paperboys, a tight-knit boutique wedding film company. They equally share the duties of filming, editing, and delivering literal works of cinematic art to their clients. With their diverse professional and educational backgrounds, they are the real deal; they understand and properly execute the principles of true filmmaking, and their portfolio genuinely speaks for itself! It’s a no-brainer to include them on our list of our favorite Washington, DC, wedding videographers.

7. Valley Park Media

The services offered by Valley Park Media run the gamut, encapsulating just about every kind of cinematography and videography category one could imagine. Their home base is DC, but they travel extensively to best serve the needs and desires of their clients. In researching our top picks for this article today, we were absolutely intrigued and excited by Valley Park’s work — their artsy, dreamy aesthetic is the result of unique angles, intentional choice of color palette, inventive audio effects, and more.

8. Sage & Silhouettes

The visual aesthetic of Sage & Silhouettes is just what you’d imagine it to be, with a name like that — intimate, emotional, radiant, and elegant. With a documentary-style approach, their work lends a sweet sort of timelessness to the love stories and life promises they document. Their grasp of natural light, and the intentional, artful manipulation of that light, creates an atmospheric, romantic piece of art that is much more than a simple wedding video. Their work is a story, a promise, an heirloom, an eternity. And, of course, it’s well deserving of its place on our list of top-notch Washington, DC, wedding videographers.

9. Quixotic Worx Films

Self-pronounced “romance journalists” Adam and Innocentia, along with photographer Akbar, are the team behind Quixotic Worx Films, a boutique wedding company with “substance, style, and heart” rooted at the core of everything they do. Their eye for color and perspective is just phenomenal, and we adore the way they incorporate layers of audio into their videos, creating a dynamic energy and truly illustrating real essence of the moment they are documenting, right as they document it. Their instinct is almost indescribably natural and easy.

10. J. Perk Productions

Jeffrey Perkins doesn’t currently have much by way of a biographical statement on any of his sites or profiles, so we can’t tell you too much about the man behind the camera just now. (If you wanna change that, Jeffrey, please let us know!) Thankfully, we don’t need to do too much explicating about why J. Perk Productions is on today’s roundup of our eleven favorite Washington, DC, wedding videographers — you can very easily see why for yourself by checking out his work. It speaks for itself! We absolutely adore the film we’ve chosen to feature here, with its every single aspect radiating the warm glow of joy and love between this bride and groom, as well as their special guests.
