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.

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!!!
