Chad Whelan

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Essex, CT

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid! Specializing in short form wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my short form videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice narration throughout the entire video.

I cant say enough good things about our experience with Toast! Julianna was so communicative and fantastic with making sure that the memories of our day were captured perfectly! It's incredible that Toast has photographers nationwide that they contract with! Planning a destination -Oregon wedding from New York was made so much easier because of Julianna and her team! The photographer and videographer captured images and footage that were above and beyond what we ever dreamed! Plus, they were both beyond talented and great at directing us to make sure we got tge best images! Our photographer had a great idea to have me twirl and throw my dress, and it was one of the most beautiful images captured. Also, they were open to fun things we wanted to try. The editing process was seamless, and the product they produced was absolutely phenomenal. Like I said, highly recommend!

Wael's is a wedding filmmaking company,Using a flair for cinematography and a passion for storytelling, this cameraman prides himself on being able to capture a couple’s authentic spark. His goal is to create a compilation you can look forward to rewatching again and again. Wael Ghobrayal is a New York filmmaker, enthusiastic about recording mementos of life’s major milestones. While he works tirelessly to film those genuine, oft-missed moments of intimacy, his final product appears effortless and elegant.

Wael captured things I did not even think of. He captured memories with people I have been wanting to see for so long. He captured families coming together. This isn’t just a simple video, this was a documentary. I watch my wedding video like a TV show/movie. I cannot get enough of it. Every time I watch this, I am shocked all over again. My family that wasn’t able to attend, had the chance to watch it and live through us. Wael is phenomenal. I have been recommending him since our wedding. I have been telling each and every bride that he is the ONE. I have not come across a single videographer that captures the details, people, and wedding all together in one. The even crazier part? When I watch the wedding video, I can hear everything CLEARLY. He focused on the music, the details, the guests, and the bride/groom. Wael for all your videography needs! 100/10

Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Booking Wedding Weekender was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding weekend! We were able to capture all of our events along with so many fun, personal, and funny moments that we never would have gotten if our family and friends hadn’t had the camera in their hands. Our guests still talk about how much fun it was to pick up the camera, leave us messages as a couple, and capture moments they thought we would love. It made the experience so interactive and memorable for everyone. The company was incredibly easy to work with and created a wedding video that truly captured us and our day. We also absolutely love having all of the raw footage to go through and relive all those special moments. If you’re considering booking this company, don’t hesitate—it’s absolutely worth it, and they are amazing to work with!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

Artistic Emotional Cinema. Dream Images. I am an innovator, and highly motivated. My experience with one of the coolest cameras ever (an official Steadicam) allows me to record amazing real life motion pictures, starring You. The goal is always to make videos and movies which are authentically you.

Bruce was the absolute best! From our first phone call to my wedding day, he was so professional and kind. You can tell that he truly loves what he does. I’ll admit, I was a little worried about booking a videographer at first because I was afraid I’d be too focused on the camera following me around. But Bruce was so laidback and chill, I truly forgot he was there half the time. He’s able to step back and capture the memories in the most perfect way. We’ve already received some teaser clips before our big video is done and I immediately sob every time I watch them, he did a fantastic job! Highly recommend!

Hi! We're Lola & Hollie, hence Lollie! We are a wife-wife wedding videography duo based in Boston. Our approach is based in passion, love and creativity. We always shoot with a two videographer team and two or more HD cameras to ensure a special moment is never missed. When you choose to work with us, you're making an investment in preserving your memories for years to come.

10/10 - would recommend. We had a large wedding planned and then COVID hit. We rescheduled the big event but continued with our wedding and small reception for 20 close family members. Lole and Hollie were amazing. They explained all the package options and worked with us when we changed our plans. They were super easy to get along with and clearly know what they are talking about. I was a bit overwhelmed about what I wanted but they were patient. I probably will never watch my entire wedding but they made us an awesome "teaser" which I love and it really captured the day. They truly saved our wedding because our photographer was awful. She double booked and didn't get any of the shots. When we mentioned this to Lola and Hollie they were able to get us some screen shots of their video of important moments (first kiss, walking out the church) - ya know kinda a big deal.... They really saved us and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
