About

Shutter and Sound Films is an award-winning wedding photography and videoraphy company serving cities all over the country. They are the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became nationally recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to Washington, D.C. and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art. They take pride in their attention to detail, amazing customer service, and their quick turnaround times for couples who just can't wait to relive their special day.

Services Offered

Unlike similar companies, Shutter & Sound does not book every couple that inquires, then scramble to hire random contractors to film those weddings. That all-too-common practice results in unpredictable and inconsistent quality. Instead, we partner with a very select few photographers and videographers that shoot all of our weddings. They are trained in our filming and editing style so you (and we) can be confident that what you see on our website is what you will receive. We are a tight-knit family obsessed with quality control and customer service. We’re also obsessed with bourbon, Harry Styles, Boston accents, office parties, concerts, perfectly executed GIFs, Keanu Reeves, coffee, and literally anything that isn’t coronavirus. Our videography options include:

  • 3-4 Minute Highlight (music video style)
  • 5-6 Minute highlight w/dialogue
  • 7-9 Minute highlight w/dialogue
  • 15-20 Minute Narrative Feature Film
  • Documentary Film
  • Instagram Videos
  • 4K UHD Resolution
  • Drone footage
  • Liability insurance
  • Digital downloads

The most wonderful people to work with!!!

From the moment I saw Shutter and Sound's portfolio, I knew I needed to work with them for my wedding. Now that my day has passed, I can honestly say that they were worth every penny and then some. I had the honor of filming with Juan and Maria, who brought so much life, laughter, and joy to me, my husband, and our friends and family. They were both professional and personable, to the point that it felt like we were just hanging out with another set of our friends by the end of the night.

The entire planning process leading up to our wedding was also made enjoyable by Shutter and Sound's coordinator, Julian Spessard. Julian is extremely responsive, helpful, and an all-around great personality. I'm sure that coordinating anything wedding-related during these uncertain times is not an easy feat, but Julian makes it look not only effortless but fun and exciting, which really helped keep our spirits up when planning got particularly stressful.

I could truthfully write forever about how much I love this company and their staff; I cannot say enough good things about them. Thank you SO much Julian, Juan, and Maria, and Shutter and Sound as a whole. If you go with anyone for videography for any event, let it be them--you will be so beyond grateful that you did!!!

Shutter and Sound films is in one word AMAZING! My wife Brittan wanted a video so bad and I seriously did not want to spend the additional money... I mean seriously who watches their wedding video that often. Well I’m happy to say that it’s worth every penny!! The short edited film they give you is like your own personal movie trailer of your entire wedding day (which you WILL watch over and over again... and so will your family and friends). You also get all your raw unedited footage. The two videographers we had (Kevin & Mike) were super professional, fun to be around and make you feel like movie stars! I highly recommend Shutter and Sound Films... and if you want to check out our video just click on the link.

They captured our day perfectly!

We found Shutter and Sound after falling in love with the video they did for a cousin's wedding. From beginning to end they did not disappoint. They were through in reviewing the packages, answering questions, and communicative as we got closer to wedding day. Our videographers showed up ontime and got right to work, and we got so much great footage of the day. So many people have remarked about how perfect our video is, and we really love how authentically it captured the energy of the day. We did have one hiccup, with the live stream not working, however they immediately refunded us for that service. Overall we had a positive experience and recommend their work to our engaged friends!

Alex Henderson!!!! 6-24-16 was our big day and I wanna do it all over again for so many reasons. One being we want to see Alex again :). What a sweet and insanely talented guy. I'm beyond thrilled with our highlight video. My husband and I had some requests and notes regarding how we wanted to encapsulate our day...Alex listened to our requests and put together our dream video that I have already watched 100+ times in less than 2 weeks. His presence with us that day was wonderful! He brought his A Game and his sweet smile and seamlessly captured our day from every angle...alone. I still have no clue how Alex did that. He's a ninja. This was my favorite investment of the whole day. I'm in love with our video. I'd recommend Alex 150% XO Thanks so much

The quality can't be beat. They are so easy to work with and are very responsive to all your needs. We had Kenny for our October wedding in Chicago. It was a COLD day and Kenny still managed to get all of our shots that we wanted around the city. He stayed longer than he was contracted for and kept us on track with the timeline to ensure he was still around to film every important moment. The finished product of our highlight video is outstanding. I even asked Kenny to make small edits on it 3 times just to get it absolutely perfect with all of our favorite moments being included. He could not have been more kind about making sure we got exactly what we wanted. Everyone who has seen our video has said that it looks like the trailer to a movie you'd want to see in theaters. Numerous people told us it was the best wedding day video they'd ever seen. And not because of us, the bride and groom! But because of how Kenny was able to take all the various special parts of the day and put it together in a gorgeous, flowing, video that captured the feelings and emotions of all our wedding day moments. I would recommend Shutter and Sound to ANYONE. Their videos are by far superb to any other vendor you compare with. Watch any video they have created and you won't be disappointed. Hire Shutter and Sound for your big day if you want to perfectly capture every moment in the most beautiful way (and ask for Kenny!)

Video was very important to me for my wedding, and I looked for over 6 months to find the right videographer. I found Shutter and Sound on WeddingWire, and I am so glad I did! Not only is their work very high quality, but they delivered our video to us the MONDAY following our SATURDAY wedding. Seth was fabulous on the day- he is such a calming presence, and a really nice guy. Ryan is am awesome editor. They were both very flexible when we asked to add some particular footage to our video. The whole process was seamless. HIRE THIS COMPANY you will not regret it!

Shutter and Sound is Amazing!

Amazing is the only word that comes to mind! Shutter and Sound was awesome to work with. From our initial call to receiving our wedding video, we never had anything to worry about. Quinn was great and extremely responsive via email; she was always quick to answer any questions we had and provide any guidance/suggestions we were looking for. Ched was our main videographer and while we only spoke twice on the phone prior to our wedding day, he fully understood what we were looking for and the wedding video we received was beyond perfect. I can't recommend them enough!

Do yourself a favor and book these guys already!! It'll be the best decision you make for your wedding day. They created a video that will help me and my husband relive our special day over and over again.

They were able to capture candid shots of us throughout the events of the day, because like they say, they're ninjas! At times, I actually forgot they were even there. Every time I watch our video, I would feel the same emotions again as I had that very day. Our video was so beautiful that my husband and I have been watching it non-stop.

I really can't stress enough how happy I am to have booked them for my special day. They'll make you a video that will make you laugh and cry at the same time. If you're still looking for a videographer, here is your stop. Their service is nothing but priceless.

Words cannot describe our gratitude to Shutter & Sound and in particular our videographer Michael Cunningham. We love Michael, and working with him was the best choice we made for our wedding in Boston!!! Michael is a talented artist who loves what he does. On our wedding day, he's very professional, and coordinated with our photographer to capture the emotional, intimate moments without even being noticed. When we saw our 7-min long highlight video, we were both in tears and felt that we relived the moments. There are so many special moments that never would've been captured otherwise. Videographers and photographers are truly complimentary.

Our family and friends love the videography, and were in awe about the impeccable work Michael delivered. Thank you Michael, and the team!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
