About Us

As an engaged couple, you are the most important character in each others' lives; therefore your wedding film should portray you as such. As a filmmaker, I approach your story from a cinematic perspective. I do not specialize in conventional wedding videos with stagnant angles and formulaic approaches. Each couple is different, therefore each wedding film should tell a different story. Through an in-person consultation, I find out your vision and tastes and translate that into a film you will want to watch again and again.

Wedding Packages

I offer specialized, affordable packages in both video and 16mm film formats, as well as á la carte items, allowing you to easily find or customize the right package for you! Contact me for a complete list of available packages and pricing information.

About James

James grew up in rural Maine, making movies with his parents' VHS camcorder. Throughout college his passion for the visual image was sharpened during travel in Europe and India, where he developed skills in street photography and documentary filmmaking. He has aided in the production of several short films, documentaries, music videos, wedding films and feature films. His work has been showcased and awarded in festivals throughout the U.S. James is an ardent photographer and greatly admires the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Roger Deakins. A proud Philadelphian, he lives in Germantown with his wife, Laura, and their shepherd mix, Julius.

Working with James Knightly Films was a true pleasure from beginning to end. James met with us multiple times prior to our event to discuss logistics, what exactly we wanted him to shoot, and to get to know our creative tastes. The final product truly showed the fruits of these efforts, showcasing the events of the day while including tender moments and sentimental shots that only someone who had taken the time to get to know his clients could have captured. He was able to do all of this without once seeming to intrude or impose on the events of our most special day. We especially loved his willingness to use an atypical medium to shoot our wedding - 16mm film with a Bolex camera - instead of his usual method of digital videography. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about "how awesome the guy using the big antique camera" was on our wedding day, and they still can't stop praising the beautiful artistic film that he made for us. On a day where many of our vendors failed to deliver what they promised, James Knightly Films came through in a way that was above and beyond what we ever could have hoped for. I would - and do - recommend James Knightly Films to anyone looking for a truly exceptional wedding videographer.
