About

On WeddingWire since 2018

John Appleton Weddings is a boutique wedding videography company located in Richmond, Virginia. 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. If you're looking for a wedding videographer to tell yours, then let's talk about the perfect package for you! I offer the perfect blend of the traditional documentary-style wedding video with the hyper cinematic modern video. I find this hybrid to be the perfect balance of both and something you and yours can cherish forever.

Regardless of which package you choose I will arrive and hour and a half early to capture drone and establishing shots off the clock. This also allows time to begin setting up for ceremony which I cover with 4 cameras.

Services Offered

I offer 3 Packages along with a la carte items to customize your Package. Packages start at $1,800 which include 6 hours of coverage in 4K resolution, Drone Videographer, Professional Audio, Multiple Cameras for Ceremony, a one Minute Teaser, a 5-7 minute Highlight Film, free music licensing, and digital delivery.

My recommended package and the best deal is The Classic Package for $2,400. It comes with everything from the Standard package plus an additional 2 hours of coverage and an 8 to 10 minute Highlight film.

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

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!

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!
