About

John Appleton Weddings is a boutique wedding film company located in Seneca, South Carolina. Being a filmmaker, I love to shoot, I love to edit, I love putting imagery to music... but more than anything I love telling stories. I believe your wedding film should be a reflection of your own unique love story, and that is something I take pride in capturing with every couple I film. Instead of following the latest trend, I believe in blending your vision with a classic style of wedding filmmaking to create beautiful keepsakes that will stand the test of time. If you're looking for a wedding videographer to tell your love story, let's talk and discover the perfect package for you!

Regardless of which package you choose, I will arrive an hour and a half early to capture the drone and establish shots off the clock. This also allows time to begin setting up for the ceremony, which I cover with four cameras.

Every wedding receives Drone Videography, Professional Audio, Multiple angles for ceremony and speeches, and a one-minute Teaser (great for social media). Turnaround time is 10-12 weeks, depending on the time of year.

Wonderful videographer

I was originally on the fence about getting a videographer for our wedding day but I am so happy we did and that we found John! He was a pleasure to work with and we are thrilled with our highlight video. He offers so many different options, so you can choose what footage is important for you personally to have of your big day. John was very professional and was a great communicator leading up to our wedding. He loves his work and wants to make sure he understands your vision. I’d recommend him to anyone and know we will enjoy looking at our video forever!

A Treasured Experience with John Appleton

It was such a pleasure to work with John on our wedding day! We knew that we wanted something to remember our special day for years to come but being people that aren't used to being in front of a camera lens, we weren't quite sure just what we wanted. However, after talking with John we soon came to realize this was exactly what we would treasure for a lifetime. John and his second photographer made us feel very comfortable and natural throughout our entire experience with them. They blended into our day perfectly and had us reminiscing with clips within a couple of days. We cannot thank them enough for our invaluable gift that compiled our precious memories that will last a lifetime! - Bride - Courtney

Awesome! Definitely worth the money spent!

John was great to work with. He was responsive with questions and helping us know what to expect. For the wedding he showed up early and never knew he was even there for the ceremony. He captured everything beautifully. He followed the bride and groom and caught all the important moments. Along with that he got parts of the reception like dancing and when we got the videos they were perfect representation of the evening. I’m so happy we found him and spent the money to have this memory. The bride was elated to be able to watch it all again. Thanks so much! Definitely recommend using John Appleton.

Excellent service!

Our pandemic micro-wedding was chronicled by John Appleton, who went above and beyond to give us a great value. We have a lovely keepsake video to show at the larger reception later this summer. I highly recommend John and his services. He did a lovely job.

Wonderful Experience, Beautiful Results!

We hired John Appleton as our videographer so that we could share our wedding with people who were not able to make it (corona bride problems). The product that was created was more than we could ever ask for, it is a beautiful keepsake that my husband and I will enjoy for the rest of our lives. John and his second shooter captured every moment of the day and put it all together in a beautiful cohesive movie. I would 100000% recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer!

Great Audio and story telling!

John was a pleasure to work with! He blended into our day seamlessly. He captured the most important parts and everything else in between and told the perfect love story. He even got hilarious moments and wasn’t afraid to work them in! He did an amazing job. We are a such moody couple and his style was perfect for that.

The best of the BEST

I have known John for quite some time now…well over a decade actually. I’ve always admired his work as a filmmaker and I feel extremely lucky to call him a friend. When I found out he got into the wedding industry, all I could think about was how lucky all of those couples would be to have John capture their day. When I got engaged and started planning the wedding, I KNEW I had to have him. John is an incredible film-maker…his camera work is impeccable and his editing skills are out of this world. Since we are friends I spent a lot of the day talking to him and staring into the lens while making stupid faces (something most brides probably wouldn’t do)…however, so much of the day I would forget he was even there-like a fly on the wall…BUT HE’S THERE! And he’s nailing it! He is not invasive, distracting, obnoxious, or aggressive. Rather he captures the day with grace and ease. He knows exactly what shots he needs to get in order to deliver a beautiful product and he is clear in communication every step of the way. He is on time, accommodating (even when schedules start to get tight), and seriously talented. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day in a way that is uniquely and visually stunning, breathtaking, and unforgettable-you should look no further and hire John. My first dance video-alone-was worth the cost of having him film the entire day. Thank you, John for being the artist that you are…because of you I will always be able to remember this day and all of the beautiful and raw emotions that come along with it.

Oh, and here's the first dance with "surprise reveal" just because =]

Working with John has been a a dream! From a photographer's standpoint, one of the things we loved most about working with John was his passion for what he does and his willingness to be a team player! When you have photographers and videographers at a wedding throughout the day, naturally they both want to shoot many of the same things and capture the same moments. Being able to do this seamlessly for the couple is always the goal so they aren't having to re-create and stage moments. Working with John we've been able to do just that all the while allowing both parties to get great shots/footage. On top of being a fun wedding professional to work with, John also delivers a beautiful final product! If you're looking for someone who can tell the story of your wedding day, integrate into the flow of your day without disruption, and has your best interests, definitely give John a shout!
