About

The joy of your wedding moves by like a blur. It's my goal to capture your wedding day and turn it into a moving film you and your family can relive for years to come. My wedding videography highlights the location's natural beauty and finds the details that create the perfect love story.

About Me:

I fell in love with videography and its ability to capture the beauty of human experiences at a young age. This passion led me to do documentary film projects worldwide and at my home in southwest Colorado. My videography style is artistic and rhythmic, along with taking inspiration from my love of nature.

Wedding videography allows the unique opportunity to document stories that will live as a family's legacy for generations to come. Weddings are not just about a day; it's about the story that led up to that day, the people around you, and the story you will continue in the future.

Amazing!!!

First off, Riley is so nice and was such a pleasure to work with! We really enjoyed meeting him and working with him on our special day! In addition his pricing was more than fair, as we got a video, teaser and ALL the wedding footage for the price which you just cant find that anywhere else. Best of all the video turned out better than we could have imagined. I have probably watched it a million times since receiving it and it’s so special. I will have this in the years to come to always remember our special day. I am extremely happy that we decided to go with him and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Best Money Ever Spent

Riley is professional, easy going, & responds quickly, via phone, text & email (which makes this process way easier). We were so lucky to have had him record our Wedding Day. His work is beyond amazing. From the start, he was super communicative, listened to what we wanted, and was flexible on our big day, even with all the weather changes. Also, the drone footage he was able to get from our outdoor wedding was beautifully captured. His editing & music choice was exactly the “mood” we were hoping for. In the end, he sent us our final video in a timely matter. All in all, we are extremely satisfied with Riley’s work. As my husband says, “Best money ever spent!” We are looking forward to sharing this video with our loved ones & our future children. We highly recommend Riley! Thank you again!!!

100% Recommend!

Riley at SailingHawk was our wedding videographer in Santa Fe, NM in April 2022. He is an extremely talented videographer and we could not have been happier to find him! The video itself was beautiful and captured our day perfectly but on top of that, he had great communication prior to the wedding keeping everything stress free. He was also a very calming presence which was very helpful on our wedding day. We were not sure if spending the extra money on a videographer was worthwhile but so happy we did and could not recommend SailingHawk more highly!

We could not have asked for a better experience and product than we did with Riley

Professional and passionate would be the two words I would use to describe Riley. There were literally hundreds of options for us to choose from and we could not be happier with our decision with Sailing Hawk. Riley’s filming style is unique in that he captures little intricacies that define the day and the moments. That is what our wedding day was all about, living in that moment, savoring the special day with my wife and our loved ones. Riley captured all those tangible experiences and projected them beautifully to film, so we can re-experience that magical day over and over. Thank you, Riley, for your time and dedication, your passion shines through your videos. Truly a work of art.
Best,
Paul and Nicole Leafstedt

A Creative Eye And An All Around Awesome Person

I would recommend Riley to absolutely anyone - especially if you're looking for a videographer with a drone! Riley is incredibly professional, responsive, has a really creative eye, and is just an all-around good person! We loved having him a part of our wedding day and even wanted him to just stay and hang out after. Something Riley did perfectly was capture our personalities in our video. Everyone kept saying that our video was so authentically "us" and perfectly captured our wedding. Thank you, Riley!

I wanted real photos, photos not staged. Riley met my expectations and surpassed my expectations.

Riley is amazing- a true artist. He took a thoughtful approach to capturing our wedding, making everyone very comfortable, and presented us with an amazing product. His work and his aura are beautiful, and we were fortunate to be able to have him share in the weekend with us and our closest friends and family.

Amazing work. Super professional and accommodating. We loved his work so much that he's now shooting my niece's 1st bday party.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
