About

Pioneer Productions is a videography business based in central Mississippi. This husband and wife team is owned by R.D. and Ashley Chisholm who are award-winning filmmakers in not only the wedding world, but also in documentary, commercial, and national broadcasting work. They've had experience in the wedding industry since 2011 and creating wedding films since 2016. Their expertise is in story-driven films that pull at the heartstrings.

When filming on wedding days, they tend to blend into the background in order to capture as many natural, unstaged moments as possible using a mix between documentary and cinematic video styles. During the editing process, their attention to detail and personalization for each couple is what makes their work stand out. R.D. & Ashley's business values are to make sure each client feels cared for while creating top-notch quality films.

One of the most important things to Pioneer Productions is giving back to their community. For every wedding booked, R.D. & Ashley donate their time and services to under-resourced projects such as non-profits, educational content, and deserving community members.

The best way to watch their wedding films is to pull up YouTube on your TV and make a night out of it! https://www.youtube.com/c/WeddingsbyPioneerProductions

Excellent couple and exquisite artistry!

Your search is over. You have found the wedding videographer team you were looking for. If you're really savvy, go with the full wedding videography package (Feature or Journey-length)! It is amazing that we live in an age where we can have so many parts of our special day captured in high definition- many things you may have missed while you were "in the zone"! I can't adequately describe how awesome it is to be able to watch our Journey film on an anniversary. This is a work of art that gets more valuable every single year that goes by.
R.D. and Ashley Chisholm scheduled multiple get togethers to film the footage for our Journey film. They were courteous and pleasant to be around! They were easily adaptable, and we had a really memorable time planning and filming the "lead up" material before the wedding. I particularly remember an instance where R.D. was laying in the open trunk of a moving car, videoing Lauryn and I on a moped. Talk about sacrificing to get the right shot!
Beyond the lead-up, R.D. and Ashley were at our rehearsal dinner and wedding. They have a really nice presence and are unobtrusive, while still managing to get really great intimate shots of us and our families. R.D. is an excellent drone pilot, and these shots really make the video so professional. I know that Pioneer Productions spend countless hours editing and arranging material to produce the perfect product.
I will never be able to repay R.D. and Ashley for the tremendous gift they have given Lauryn and I. But I can at least whole-heartedly recommend that you take advantage of what they offer, so that you too can have this keepsake that gets better with every year.

Cannot Recommend Enough!

Pioneer Productions worked with my husband and I to capture our engagement pictures and our wedding day. Not only were they able to capture my husband genuinely smiling and laughing in most of our pictures (which is quite an accomplishment on its own), but they also captured the essence of our wedding day, and our relationship: simple, yet full of joy. At the time, we could not afford a fancy wedding by any means (we had sandwich platters for the meal!), but they made our day look beautiful. Their photos are so breathtaking that I have a slideshow of them constantly rolling on our 55" TV!

Their videography captured moments that I myself had missed or forgotten as the bride, and I cry almost every time I watch the highlight video they made for us! The crazy thing? You hardly noticed they were there! Some of the most professional and well-coordinated people I've ever seen!

One of my favorite things about them is the complete uniqueness they bring to each client they have. I follow them on social media, and every couple they photograph has the same beautiful quality, but captures entirely different emotions. Our pictures are nothing like another one of their other clients', and I love it. They treated us as individuals and sought out what we wanted in our day and our photos. Their ability to assimilate is one that I have never seen in any other company!

Lastly, every session with them has always been enjoyable. Usually photography sessions are awkward, boring, and lifeless. Pioneer Productions is anything but that! We are so thankful for their desire to go above and beyond for us, and their endless talent that was shared during our most special stages of life! Cannot recommend them enough!!!

Absolutely Wonderful!!

Ashley and R.D. Chisholm are absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had a very complicated wedding weekend due to the combination of two different cultures. They worked with us and made sure to listen to us! Not only are both them great at what they do, but they are such genuine, kind souls. They captured the raw emotions throughout the wedding process. Our wedding trailer was given with such a quick turn around and so well made. I still cry every single time I watch the videos because of how well they captured our weekend. They were also very open to different religious and cultural experiences! We loved working with them! We are so thankful to have had Pioneer Productions for our wedding!

Will choose for every event from here on out!

Ashley and RD were such a welcome part of our wedding day. We knew from the engagement that we wanted a video to remember the special moments of our big day and we knew we wanted it to be Pioneer Productions. We loved how well they showed the character and love of the past couples in their videos and they did just that for us. Ashley and RD were there from start to finish capturing quiet family moments, prayers, chaotic finishing touches, and the most special “I do”’s. There were parts of the wedding I didn’t even remember until we watched the video! Their presence was comforting but non-invasive and we never felt awkward or uncomfortable. I even forgot they were there multiple times which allowed them to capture the more candid moments that I most enjoy. The video quality and artistry is beyond anything we could have fathomed. I’m so thankful we chose to entrust this task and these memories into such talented and kind people.

They captured all the most perfect little pieces of our day!

I cannot recommend Pioneer Productions enough! I have watched their videos for years and been in awe, so I knew we needed to have them for our wedding. However, I couldn’t have imagined just how perfect our wedding film would be.

They captured every special moment—shared glances, excited whispers, funny moments, dance moves, our vows, our prayers—in such a beautiful way. Since our wedding was small, this video has been a way to share the best of our wedding with everyone we love. Everyone who has seen it has been struck by the beauty of their work and how perfectly they captured us.

RD and Ashley have worked with us every step of the way and consistently gone the extra mile to make our experience with them perfect. Every interaction with them reveals that they are loving, generous people, which is something I was always blessed by. They are also an absolute pleasure to be around, (warm, kind, respectful of and completely present in the moment) and they seamlessly blended into the background of our special day.

* I can say with confidence that hiring Pioneer Productions was the best decision we made for our wedding, apart from deciding to finally get married of course! We will forever treasure our wedding film and our experience with them 💗

Best decision ever

We decided about a month out from our wedding that we wanted a videographer. Choosing Pioneer Productions was one of the best things we did. I fell in love with their storytelling from the first video I watched. If I could do my wedding day over, I’d choose Ashley and RD every time. They were a joy to work with and the memories they captured are my favorite of our entire day.

They went above and beyond to make sure they captured every detail. One thing we absolutely loved is they let us enjoy our night without interruption. They stayed back and caught the day and night as it really was without staging things. They were willing to capture anything we asked and did an amazing job compiling it all for our video. We would choose them over and over again!

It’s been six months since Jordan & PJ’s wedding. Adding you guys and increasing the budget to cover you was a last minute decision. I just finished watching the video again (tears again) and I had to AGAIN say “thank you” and say that your fee is my favorite expenditure of the entire wedding. I will do my best to send others your way.
Sincerely,
Richie Davis
