About

Elsewhere Wedding Films is a wedding videography service located in Vernon, Vermont.

It's your wedding day. As the finishing touches are made to your hair and your family and friends laugh and joke with anticipation of your big reveal to your lover, will you have those moments recorded?

You and the guys are hanging back in reception hall, and before you head out to the ceremony a last "bottom's up" cheer is called out and you knock back a drink to cool those nerves before standing before all your friends and family to say your vows. Will you have those last friendly words before you're married captured on film?

Elsewhere Wedding Films will be there to catch those subtle moments that will be priceless to you once the moment has passed. If a picture is worth a thousand words, there are twenty four "pictures" or frames in one second of video!

I grew up shooting weddings for my grandfather in Boston. I joke that he's like the Godfather of photo and video for weddings in the North Shore, as he started in the 80's and grew a thriving business that he still runs to this day. At fifteen he said to me, "Alright Colby, time to teach you to shoot video," and I've been doing it ever since.

This turned me on to a degree in Digital Filmmaking at Champlain College in Vermont, and my time in Burlington turned me on to the Green Mountain state! In 2014 I started my own wedding films business under the very creative name "Colby Thompson Films," and have shot and edited hundreds of weddings across New England.

Eventually I moved up to New Hampshire, and a few years ago crossed the bridge (figuratively and literally) to Vermont, where my partner and I live in our DIY tiny house on a few acres of beautiful forested land that we've set up a little homestead on.

Being a wedding filmmaker involves so much responsibility, and so much finesse. When I go out to shoot for a couple, I'm locking down angles and shots that I know will tell the story of a moment, of a location, of a design choice a couple has made for the reception. Movement, timing, depth of field, focal length, artistry. Fourteen years of wedding experience has taught me something, and now I'm ready to make films for people in the area I love and call home.

As a side note, our home is completely solar-powered with an off-grid battery system, so you could say your film was made with 100% renewable energy! If that's not the ultimate Vermont wedding film, I don't know what is!

Incredible Videographer!

Colby was WONDERFUL to work with!!! He was easy-going, fun, confident and put us at ease when we were planning. Our photographer, Juniper Studios, highly recommended Colby so we knew that was a great sign! Our personalities matched really well together. He showed up on time, kindly introduced himself, and then he was a quiet worker bee letting us have fun and do our thing while he worked his magic to capture all the best moments from our day. It was great knowing he was so capable and comfortable with his craft that he knew exactly where to be and when so we didn't have to worry about him! The videos he got are INCREDIBLE. We are thrilled that he could capture all the laughs, sweet moments and happy tears. It is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much, Colby! I highly recommend Elsewhere Wedding Films for all your videography.

Very highly recommended.

Colby and Aria crafted a gorgeous, heartwarming, personal, and professional wedding video for my partner and me which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. They offered affordable rates, a reasonable turnaround time, and provided all of the video footage to us that they said they would in high quality. On our wedding day, the pair made us feel comfortable and at ease, and added zero additional stress to our special day.

Thank you, Elsewhere Wedding Films!
