About

Wedding films for couples who want to be present on their day.

Gilded Heart Films is a documentary wedding videography studio based in Bay City, Michigan, filming weddings across the entire state, from Detroit and Grand Rapids to Traverse City and Northern Michigan. Since 2021, our team has filmed more than 300 weddings.

Our philosophy is simple: let the day happen. We don’t stage moments, run shot lists, or pull you away from your guests. We take a calm, unobtrusive approach and document your wedding as it naturally unfolds, so your film feels real and lets you relive the day exactly as it felt.

We offer one all-inclusive package for $2,495:

  • 5 to 7 minute highlight film
  • Full ceremony film
  • 4K RAW footage, included at no extra cost
  • Up to 8 hours of coverage with one videographer
  • Drone coverage when venue rules and weather allow
  • Premium online gallery
  • Travel included anywhere in Michigan
  • Delivery in 1 to 2 months

Optional add-ons include 1-week rush delivery, a speeches and dances edit, a 45 to 60 minute documentary edit, and a content creator service.

We’ve filmed at many of Michigan’s top venues, including The Highlands and The Masonic Temple in Detroit, The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Castle Farms in Charlevoix, The Holly Vault, Pine Knob Mansion, and McKay Tower in Grand Rapids.

Our promise: if we ever miss a major moment like your ceremony, first dances, or speeches, you get a full refund. We stand behind our process completely.

Generations from now, someone will recognize your voice, your laugh, and the way you hold each other. That’s what we’re here to preserve.

Amazing work!

Adrian was absolutely amazing to work with, and we couldn’t recommend him more! From the very beginning, he was so easy to communicate with and genuinely open to hearing any ideas we had. We had a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, and he did an incredible job preparing for and capturing every special moment. He also worked seamlessly with our photographers, making the entire day feel effortless. There was footage in our wedding video that we didn’t even remember him being there to capture! We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing he was capturing it all so naturally without us even noticing. We had our ceremony and reception at separate venues (Orthodox Church and BlueBridge event center) and Adrian did an excellent job blending the footage of each space together in our video! If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful videographer, we highly recommend him!

Amazing service

We cannot say enough amazing things about Adrian! From the very beginning, he was so kind, professional, easy to work with, and made us feel completely comfortable. He captured our wedding day at Apple Mountain so beautifully, and our wedding film exceeded every expectation we had.

Adrian captured all of the little moments, emotions, and details that made our day so special. Watching our film brought us right back to our wedding day and honestly made us emotional all over again. It felt so genuine and personal, and we are beyond grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully.

If you are looking for a wedding videographer, we HIGHLY recommend Adrian! He was such a wonderful addition to our wedding day, and we are so thankful we trusted him to capture one of the most important days of our lives. Our film is something we will cherish forever! 🤍

Amazing vendor!

Adrian with Gilded Heart Films was such a pleasure to work with. My photographer even went out of her way to mention how enjoyable the experience was working with him. He was kind, thoughtful, attentive, and produced the most amazing video for us in such a short amount of time. The entire process from start to finish was smooth and easy! I couldn’t recommend him more! He captured the essence of our wedding and I cry every time I watch our highlight video. Not to mention, he offers video coverage that i didn’t see anywhere else with allowing you to have all the raw footage from your day!! It’s worth more than money can buy because I get to relive my wedding day through his lens, forever!

Couldn't ask for a better experience

Adrian was phenomenal to work with! We were originally on the fence about whether we needed videography - last minute we decided to do it and we are so glad we did! Adrian was responsive throughout the planning process and so easy to work with. Our video is something we will cherish for years to come. It is even better than we could have imagined! Adrian truly captured all of those moments that you never want to forget and it's evident in his work that he understand what moments matter most. I could not possibly recommend Adrian/Gilded Heart Films more highly.

Easy Going And Talented Videographer

Adrian Filmed our wedding at the Whiskey Factory in Detroit. He was very attentive our whole wedding day and showed up before any other vendor. He quickly communicated back through emails and phone calls and made the wedding planner way easier for us. We LOVE the wedding highlight film he made and will cherish it forever! Go with Gilded Heart Films if you want an amazing cinematic wedding film.
