About

*Not currently booking new clients*


Light Parade Films is a woman-owned cinematography studio based in Cincinnati and available anywhere your adventure may take you.

As a member of your carefully selected creative team, our intention is to not only capture, but also help create the irreplaceable moments that make up your wedding day. Our films are story-driven and focused on emotion, connection and attention to detail.

Our clients choose us because they value their authentic story. They value a timeless aesthetic over flashy trends. Above all, they wish to enjoy the experience of having all of their most cherished loved-ones gathered in one place to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter in their lives.

There are no cookie-cutter weddings. Your big day is as unique as your story, and no two are alike. After 13 years of creating unique wedding films for hundreds of couples, I have come to realize that there are no “three package options” that will fit every couple.

Our couples aren’t like other couples. And with this in mind we take the time to get to know what you value most about your wedding day and design a custom proposal fit specifically to your needs. We’d love to hear your story.

WE START HERE.

Susan is absolutely wonderful!

I cannot say enough good things about Susan. She did a wonderful job at my sister's wedding 5 years ago and was so wonderful for ours last fall! Rescheduling our wedding mid-covid with Susan was a breeze, and she was so understanding about what we were going through. On the day of, she blended in seamlessly, but also stepped in at the right times to suggest really sweet shots. She was so easy to work with for the small amount of edits we requested to the film. The final product left us speechless! She caught so many beautiful moments, and truly captured the essence of the day. Thank you, Susan!

Blown. Away!

Susan with Light Parade was my wedding videographer for my big day. As a wedding photographer, I thought I knew the importance of film, but I really truly didn't. I always thought "photos are #1!", but to actually see your emotions IN motion... Thats something that a photographer cannot capture. We can only capture the still. My wedding film is nothing short of spectacular and almost two years later, my wedding film make me tear up and it truly makes me FEEL like the day I got married. I see us crumble with our first look, me clutching my geriatric boston terrier and crying into her when I was getting ready, to see those emotions play out I never realized how amazingly special they were until I had my very own film.
I would not know what I do without this film, as it is my most cherished take way from my wedding. Susan SLAYED it! She's not only fun, she is a true professional, and she created a film that was just so unique to us as a couple. Thank you Susan! I love that you created something so special for me and my hubs, and as always I get so excited when my couples choose you for their big day as well!

Accommodating, Helpful with Incredible results!

Susan was incredible, having her there shooting video was probably the best purchase we made. This lady has attention to detail and works very, very hard. She was so accommodating and helped us both out throughout the whole day. About the editing and actual video.....
Incredible..... made me as a guy tear up. You get nervous that the video will have things in it that could be embarrassing and she only chose the best moments that highlighted us in the best light. She even got our footage back in a timely manner. I will recommend her to everyone I talk to. Please spend the extra money and get a videographer, if you're lucky get Light Parade Films.

Very responsive

We planned our wedding in Cincinnati from out of town in the midst of moving from one state to another. Needless to say, life was chaotic. Susan and LPF helped to make the planning a little easier. She was very responsive by email, accommodated my trip to Cincinnati, and made time for me during my crazy schedule. Day of, she was a calming presence who provided a bit of humor that I needed very much. She captured our day beautifully, I still tear up very time I watch our video. We are so very thankful that we found her to film our special day.

Susan and her assistant were absolutely a dream to work with! We signed up for her package that includes a 3-minute highlight video and a 30-minute "feature" that captured all the most amazing moments from our day. She did an amazing job pairing images with voice-over that makes for an incredible memory we'll have forever. Day-of Susan was prepared and even stepped in to save the day with some double-stick tape for me (the bride) to help with my dress!

Susan and her crew are beyond awesome! Working with her was an incredible experience from when we booked her (over a year before our wedding) to the day we got married! She was so great in fact that most people didn’t even realize we there was a videographer present at our wedding. Susan was very professional and provided details about every step of the experience. We received our wedding video only a few months after our wedding and it turned out perfectly. All the footage and the music paired with it were amazing! I will certainly be referring Susan to everyone I know!

Susan and her team did an AMAZING!!!! job with the wedding. I was overjoyed and so proud to share the video with all of my friends and family, especially those who were unable to attend the wedding. The highlight reel captured all of the most important and best moments of the day and wove it together as a perfect story. We went with a fairytale theme and Susan was able to capture all of the enchantment of the day. She went above and beyond to make sure that the important moments were captured and all of the little details did not go unnoticed. She was a joy to work with and was easily available by phone or email to answer questions. She coordinated effortlessly with our photographers to ensure that we stayed on the timeline set for the day.

For the data drive brides out there like myself here are some of the pertinent reasons why I chose Susan out of the 10+ I considered.
- She has tons of experience (100+ weddings)
- I love her documentary/cinematic style that really creates a story of your love
- She knew how to be present without being obtrusive (not standing in the middle of the aisle) and coordinate with the photographers
- She is professional (has insurance, backup equipment and people etc)
- She is passionate about her work and dedicated (and awesome at it)
- She had a quick turnaround time for the highlight film and video
- She answered all 50 of my questions (really 50) with a smile!

All I can say is that I am SO happy that I chose Susan and Light Parade Films. Everyone I showed our wedding video to was so impressed with it! I have and will recommend her to anyone getting married in the Cincinnati area. But you don't have to take my word for it, her great work is on the website for you to check out for yourself. You won't be disappointed!!!

Susan is wonderful to work with! I am a photographer, and before I met her, I had had some pretty terrible experiences with videographers (being pushy, directing things too much, even had one purposely get in my way while shooting). I did not have a great feeling about the videography business until I met Susan! She does a beautiful job capturing the day (and I love how video can help document the day in a way that photography can't), helps keep everyone calm and relaxed, and really has a passion for what she does. Can't recommend her enough!

Susan is a dream to work with. She is so much fun, but she takes her roll so seriously. She truly understands how to tell a great love story. I love working with her and look forward to many more stories unfolding before my eyes with Light Parade Films.
