About

I’m an award-winning wedding videographer with a passion for capturing moments and emotions worth passing down from generation to generation. In 2017, inspired by White In Revery, I invested all of my savings into my first camera and attended a life-changing workshop in Colorado. That leap of faith was the beginning of a new chapter. I started filming weddings across the United States, documenting love stories that blend cinematic beauty with emotive storytelling. Over the years, I have had the honor of filming hundreds of weddings, from intimate elopements to grand celebrations - including a celebrity wedding in Los Angeles.

We wish we could give Declan 10 stars.

We wish we could give Declan 10 stars. He was nothing but accommodating, helpful, respectful, extremely communicative and most importantly, INSANELY talented from the first time we talked. He worked extremely well with our other vendors and even stepped in to make sure the lighting in our ceremony room was perfect for the mood of the event and to make sure it translated well on camera.

As for the filming and video itself, it is absolutely stunning, we cry like babies every time we watch it. I'm an Art Director myself and can assure you his editing is top notch, his composition is spot on and he's able to capture all the important and intimate moments without ever even realizing he's there, which is an invaluable quality in a videographer.

Declan doesn't just show up on your day and film, he worked with us from the moment we hired him, he had me fill out a detailed questionnaire and then we had a meeting and went over every single thing and our exact timeline to familiarize himself with our day. He talked to us about music, and let us have a hand in picking out the song, he was hands down the best communicator out of all our vendors, he always replied quickly to my texts and emails. In my mind, that was everything I could ask for in a vendor!

He was a very important asset to our day, he contributed a perfect level of professionalism and fun energy and because of that we now have a video that we get to enjoy the rest of our lives!

I'm glad we snagged him in Ohio before he moved, California will be lucky to have him! You don't need to think twice about hiring Declan!

So much fun with incredible results!

Declan is so awesome. His work is amazing and his personality is just as so. My wife and I hired Declan to be our videographer for our wedding. He started off as just another vendor, and he ended up becoming one of our friends. We received our videos we requested super quick and all of our family and friends that watched were in tears. It captured our day perfectly and included all of the important moments.

During quick breaks of the photo and video session, he would chat up the bridal party, he was super easy to work with, and the final result was incredible. He also worked with the other vendors we hired incredibly and always made sure to make everyone comfortable. He helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we all had so much fun shooting with him! Highly highly recommend Declan!! You won’t be disappointed - you will be blown away.

Declan was fantastic and easy to work with!

Working with Declan was nothing but WONDERFUL! He was professional, kind, communicative, and personable in every interaction we had with him. Watching the videos he made for us brought tears to our eyes and allowed us to relive the special moments of our wedding day all over again. We can’t wait to show them to our kids one day. We would recommend Declan over and over again to anyone looking for a videographer. Thank you Declan!

Talent, price, personality!

Declan was a crucial part of our wedding and left us with memories from our wedding that we will never forget. We chose him because we felt a true connection to the videos he made. They were soulful, portrayed the love between the couples magically and every video he made gave you chills. His perspective was artistic and he truly was skillful. From our first meeting with him, we knew he would give 110% to everything he did. Even though he had never filmed an Indian wedding before, he did his best to get as much information as he could and make sure nothing got missed. He made sure to keep in contact and would even check in with us regularly. On the day of the wedding he was always available and made sure to be ready and prepared for anything. When we got our wedding highlight video, it was amazing how he had captured the most important parts of the day in such an artistic and beautiful way. It was truly a masterpiece we will never stop watching. He even recorded the entire day for us an included those videos in edited form. Declan is the whole package- talent, price, personality!

Wedding videographer

Declan exceeded our expectations before, during, and after our wedding! My husband and I were looking for a videographer who would be able to capture our wedding in an emotional, artistic way, and Declan did not disappoint. His attention to detail and ability to really catch the little, meaningful moments of our day was impeccable. Declan made us feel completely comfortable even though I was nervous to be filmed. Our wedding video is something I watch over and over again, and I am so thankful that Declan was able to truly tell the story of the day through his film! Declan is amazing and his work speaks for itself! We are so happy to have worked with Declan, and to have gotten to know him as a friend!

Best Videographer

Declan made such a huge impact on our wedding! Even before our wedding day, he would check in on us to make sure we were excited an not stressing too much. He was a great support on our wedding day. My husband and I knew that we made a great choice in hiring Declan. It was so fun watching the wedding video and getting to relive all the important and little sentimental moments of the day. There is no doubt that Declan genuinely captured our relationship in a 7 min video. We love sharing our video with our family and friends! You will not regret hiring Declan!

Best videographer in Ohio

Declan is a very talented and creative videographer. When we saw his films on YouTube, we knew we had to ask him to be our wedding videographer. Not only was he organized and detail-oriented, but he was approachable and kind. He made us feel comfortable during the whole process. We absolutely loved our wedding film – beautiful and authentic, and of course, the cinematography was second to none. Asking him to create our wedding film was the best decision. I highly recommend Declan as a wedding and lifestyle videographer.

An Inspired Young Artist

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Declan. He met with us before the wedding to get to know us and to learn about what was important to us in the big day. I've heard horror stories of being rushed through the motions of a wedding by their photographer/ videographer. We experienced the exact opposite with Declan and his team. We appreciated his flexibility in making the day what we wanted. We were a little disappointed to learn last minute that we needed to use a microphone for the ceremony or we would have to sign a waiver in case the audio quality did not turn out correctly in the video. Luckily we were able to make that happen and the video turned out beautifully. Declan was able to capture our style and personality so well in the frames and music he chose for our wedding trailer. My only other note would be that, at the time, there was no package that included all of the raw footage of our wedding. We would have loved to have had that option when we chose the biggest and most expensive photography/ videography package that was offered. Instead we had to pay extra at a later date to receive all of the raw footage. I would highly recommend Declan for your videography needs. He is professional, personable, and a true artist who is inspired to stay on the cutting edge in his field.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
