About

SOMETIMES YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE VALUE OF A MOMENT, UNTIL IT BECOMES A MEMORY.

There are a few epic days in everyone’s lives that stand out from the rest. For many of us, our wedding day is one of them. We’ll spend months or even years planning, preparing, getting every single person in the world we care about in the same place at the same time, and then poof! In an instant – it’s all over. And all of a sudden, those precious moments exist only in our memories. Your wedding film will bring back memories of how your wedding day looked, how it sounded, and how it felt, in a way that nothing else can. This is why I do what I do. I look forward to getting to know you and creating an authentic wedding film inspired by your genuine love story.

ANDREW SCHEAR

Unlike many other cinematographers, my passion for filmmaking began not with a camera, but with a keyboard and mouse when, in my teenage years, I was introduced to the incredible power of film editing software. I then earned a degree in film production from the University of Miami, where I focused on enhancing my skills in cinematography and sound design. My experience as a wedding cinemtographer now spans nearly a decade and includes over 250 weddings.

I currently reside in Fairfax, Virginia with my beautiful wife, Michelle. I’ve limited myself to 15 weddings per year, to ensure I can devote my full attention to each client and each wedding film. My primary service areas include Washington D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia, but I'm always ready for an adventure, and am willing to travel anywhere in the world to film your wedding. When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy reading business and self-improvement books, training for and running marathons, listening to finance and economics podcasts, and perfecting my morning smoothie recipe.

Best Decision!

Andrew was incredibly professional, calm, and thoughtful throughout the entire day. His presence was so reassuring—never intrusive, always supportive—and he made sure to capture every important moment perfectly.

We actually discovered Andrew a few years ago when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law hired him for their wedding. My husband and I still watch their wedding film all the time—we were obsessed from the moment we saw it. As soon as we got engaged, we knew we wanted Andrew to be part of our day too.

We’re so excited to relive our own wedding through his lens. If you're looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also brings a calm, grounding energy to your day, Andrew is the one. Truly cannot recommend him enough!

Schear Perfection!!!

Andrew is so much more than just your typical videographer. He has an incredible talent to turn your wedding day into a true love story that captures all the build up, emotion, and excitement of your very special day. I was so amazed by the final result- how personal it was, how much I felt like it was customized specifically for us, and how I knew I couldn't wait to rewatch this over and over again. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!

Most professional, detailed vendor!

After seeing the breathtaking work that Andrew did for my sister and brother-in-law’s wedding, we knew that we wanted him to be a part of our special day as well (so much so that we had him travel from Virginia to Miami for our wedding). Andrew was, without a doubt, the most professional, detail-oriented, and humble wedding vendor with whom we worked. He responded quickly and thoroughly to all questions, was receptive to feedback and requests, and made sure to incorporate all important details into our trailer and feature film. He communicated well with both us and our other vendors, making the day feel seamless. We met over Zoom early on in the planning process to discuss general details and again closer to the wedding to firm up loose ends. Following the wedding, he sent regular communications to let us know where he was in the editing process. We appreciated how he sent us several options for the trailer background music, allowing us to feel even more invested in our video. Both the trailer and feature film beautifully captured all of our special moments and interactions and fully captured all of the emotions of our wedding day. We loved how he incorporated our vows, speeches, and other audio (not just background music as many videographers do). Andrew is truly so talented! He is with his clients every step of the way, but, somehow, on the day of the wedding, it’s as if he’s not even there. He simply blends into the background and tries not to distract or get in the way. 10/10 recommend going with Andrew Schear Films if you want a super organized, down-to-earth videographer and an insanely beautiful wedding video centered on emotions and moments.

Amazing Wedding Videographer - Highly recommend!

Andrew and his wife, Michelle (previously 5801 Wedding Cinema) were our videographers for our wedding on 11/30/2019. When my husband and I were searching for wedding vendors, we knew right away that we wanted to use them as our videography team and we can say that we made the best choice in going with them! Andrew is super talented, and his style is clean and sophisticated. Michelle is so sweet, organized and helpful. Throughout the entire process, they were always professional and prompt with their communication. A few months before our wedding day, Andrew and Michelle had moved to Washington DC, and we were very concerned at first when we found out the news. But Andrew and Michelle eased our concerns right away by sharing their travel plans on what they were going to do for our wedding weekend. Leading up to our wedding day, Andrew also took the time to do a thorough walk-through of the wedding day with us and gave us a lot of helpful tips and guidance (which we appreciated so much!). On our wedding day, they were on time, flexible (we had them running around quite a bit), and worked very well side-by-side with our photography team. After the wedding, they surprised us with quick teaser and clips while we waited. The final product was done within weeks and Andrew did such an amazing job! We were so happy with the footage he captured, the quality of the video, and how he was able to able to edit the video so beautifully. We cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend them!!!

My favorite vendor!

Andrew and Michelle are hands down the most professional vendor I worked with for my wedding. They were timely, detailed, and indescribably sincere on our wedding day. They got every shot and detail we asked (and more) without making me feel like i was being watched or told to what to do. At the end of the night, they gave huge hugs and were genuinely happy for us. Our videos brought our friends and family to tears, they have an incredible talent!

One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding!

Andrew and Michelle are truly the best. To be honest, my husband didn't want to have a videographer at our wedding because he felt it would be obtrusive during moments that were meant to be natural or intimate, and I initially agreed to forego a videographer to save money in our budget. As our wedding day got closer, I started to worry that I would regret not having a videographer at our wedding - you only have one chance to memorialize your wedding forever in video and you can't get it back. Luckily, when we found Andrew's website, they made it clear their goal is for you to not even notice they are there, and they were absolutely right! Andrew and Michelle are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional - not to mention super talented - and we enjoyed working with them leading up to our wedding and meeting them on the morning of, but to be honest, for the rest of the wedding day, we forgot they were even there. We got to be natural and just enjoy every moment and they captured it all without getting in the way one bit. As a bride, its cliched to say, but I was shocked at how fast the wedding day went by. After a year of meticulous planning, the day was such a blur and I was sad I had missed so many tiny details and moments I had worked so hard to orchestrate. My worries were immediately assuaged the second we got our videos back from Andrew and Michelle - they had captured every little and moment I loved from our wedding, and every little detail and moment I may have missed, and given it all back to us to cherish and relive forever. I got to see the reactions of our bridesmaids during the ceremony that I didn't get to see the day of, and my husband and I get to re-listen to our vows together any time we want. They even worked with me to make tiny edits (even before which the videos were beyond perfect) so that we were 100% happy with every detail of the final products. The value of these videos to us is immeasurable and we could not be more grateful that we had second thoughts about doing without a videographer. We are especially grateful we chose Andrew and Michelle and we cannot overstate how happy we are to have worked with them and with the videos they gave us! We give them our highest recommendation, without reservation, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with them again ourselves. Thank you SO much, Andrew and Michele - what a pleasure!

Our wedding video was magical!

It was such a privilege to work with 5801 Wedding Cinema! They show such professionalism and easy to work with, the completed video had all the speechless moments as well as the funny ones too. We would recommend anyone needing a videographer to 5801, you won’t regret it!

Super talented and creative

Andrew and his team are so wonderful! Michelle is so organized and knowledgeable about their business and Andrew has a very creative eye! During the getting ready process, he was very respectful of our privacy and working with us to get the classic shots on film. I have no idea where he blended into but I did not feel a camera on me all night during the ceremony and reception; he stays invisible but easy to find at the same time if that makes sense. Andrew and his partner that day were so sweet and very easy to work with!

Awesome vendor

Im so thankful that I came across 5801 videography. They captured our wedding day just beautifully. They also made the process of coordinating their services from a distance seamless. Andrew and Michelle are very responsive to emails and calls. I had full confidence that I would receive communication from Michelle after any question I emailed. On my wedding day, they were prompt, professional, and helpful (directing shots that would make the best footage). After the wedding, we received our video trailer quite quickly.
The trailer was an awesome tease to the full video we later received. I'm so thankful that we have this amazing addition to our wedding day to remember it by. They were able to capture all the things that escaped me in the blur of the day. We also received a thoughtful case to house the USB copies of the video that included some select wedding photos. I cannot thank or brag on 5801 video enough. You will not regret booking them.

Wonderful Videographer Team!

Michelle & Andrew were a phenomenal duo. I can't begin to describe how they made the whole process so seamless, and how beautiful our final product came out. Michelle is very responsive and really helpful and friendly, and Andrew is just a pleasure to work with when we were discussing our big day and planning everything out. We clicked with them very early on and they were very easy to work with. On the wedding day, they worked really well together with our photographers. We got previews and clips throughout the process of waiting for our final product, and at the very end, I'm so happy we chose to hire these two to document our day. A picture is worth a thousand words but there is nothing like video to remember this special day - it goes so fast. Thank you so much 5801! I would definitely recommend to any bride and groom to be.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
