About

On WeddingWire since 2015

Shutter and Sound Films is an award-winning wedding cinematography company serving cities all over the country. They are the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became nationally recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to Washington, D.C. and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art. They take pride in their attention to detail, amazing customer service, and their quick turnaround times for couples who just can't wait to relive their special day.

Services Offered

Unlike similar companies, Shutter & Sound does not book every couple that inquires, then scramble to hire random contractors to film those weddings. That all-too-common practice results in unpredictable and inconsistent quality. Instead, we partner with a very select few videographers that shoot all of our weddings. They are trained in our filming and editing style so you (and we) can be confident that what you see on our website is what you will receive. We are a tight-knit family obsessed with quality control and customer service. We’re also obsessed with bourbon, Harry Styles, Boston accents, office parties, concerts, perfectly executed GIFs, Keanu Reeves, coffee, and literally anything that isn’t coronavirus. Our videography options include:

  • 3-4 Minute Highlight (music video style)
  • 5-6 Minute highlight w/dialogue
  • 7-9 Minute highlight w/dialogue
  • 15-20 Minute Narrative Feature Film
  • Documentary Film
  • Instagram Videos
  • 4K UHD Resolution
  • Drone footage
  • Liability insurance
  • Digital downloads

The most wonderful people to work with!!!

From the moment I saw Shutter and Sound's portfolio, I knew I needed to work with them for my wedding. Now that my day has passed, I can honestly say that they were worth every penny and then some. I had the honor of filming with Juan and Maria, who brought so much life, laughter, and joy to me, my husband, and our friends and family. They were both professional and personable, to the point that it felt like we were just hanging out with another set of our friends by the end of the night.

The entire planning process leading up to our wedding was also made enjoyable by Shutter and Sound's coordinator, Julian Spessard. Julian is extremely responsive, helpful, and an all-around great personality. I'm sure that coordinating anything wedding-related during these uncertain times is not an easy feat, but Julian makes it look not only effortless but fun and exciting, which really helped keep our spirits up when planning got particularly stressful.

I could truthfully write forever about how much I love this company and their staff; I cannot say enough good things about them. Thank you SO much Julian, Juan, and Maria, and Shutter and Sound as a whole. If you go with anyone for videography for any event, let it be them--you will be so beyond grateful that you did!!!

Truly a cinematic masterpiece

I can’t say enough what an amazing job Shutter and Sound did with the videography at our wedding!! I will forever be grateful to our videographers Ben and AJ for their amazing skills, professionalism, and just all around presence at our wedding, they were a whole vibe!! The speed that they would move between rooms, get people mic’d up when needed, and always got the perfect shot was just uncanny! When I tell you that the second they introduced themselves and were ready to start rolling they were already a part of the group and made everyone feel extremely comfortable, they were a blast to work with! They worked incredibly well with all of the other vendors, whom they had never met before, especially working so closely with our photographer. They all worked together to get us the absolute best shots and we could not be more grateful! I received my highlight video, and I cannot stop watching it! It was everything I could have asked for and more! Every moment was beautifully captured and I can’t imagine having chosen anyone other than Shutter and Sound as our videographer!
