About

Hello! We are Shelby and Josh, we own and operate First Dance Films between Austin, Texas and Denver, Colorado.

We’re known for our stunning cinematography, and our thoughtful and creative editing—capturing the unique spirit of every wedding and couple we film. What drives our work is showcasing true love stories and providing one-of-a-kind wedding films that are endlessly rewatchable. Our couples go back to their wedding films years down the road. We’re not pushy, and we don’t like overly posed. Our goal is to fit seamlessly into your day.

All of our films are unique, and that is intentional. Our films are crafted for each individual couple. We film and edit each frame of our wedding videos ourselves so that you can be confident in knowing who you are hiring. Because we don’t hire out, we have limited availability, so please reach out with your wedding date as soon as you can.

Beautiful memories captured forever!!

A huge thank you to Shelby at First Dance Films for her videography on our daughter's wedding. Our package included a teaser, 12 minute clip, and later we added full length video of the wedding. All items were done beautifully and with care. The 12 minute clip was incredible!! our Indian 1 + hour wedding had so many moments that I was concerned may not be captured into the 12 minute, but Shelby did it!! Without a doubt, I will continue to count on First Dance Films for my other daughter's weddings:))

An unforgettable elopement - thank you First Dance!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and Josh! They were so chill to work with from the beginning and immediately understood our vision. When we postponed our wedding due to covid, we still had First Dance capture our elopement and it was absolutely breathtaking. We offered some small creative ideas of what we thought we wanted and they took it to the next level. They were so amazing to work with onsite and delivered amazing films that we will cherish forever. Thank you thank you for being part of such a special moment!

Exceeded all expectations

We are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with Shelby and Josh. They were so friendly and accommodating throughout the process and on the wedding day. The wedding video they made was a dream come true - every time we watch it, we feel like we are reliving the day all over again. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without them and we couldn't recommend them more!
