About

Hello there!

We are Ben and Karolina Banks, Owners of The Forge Films. We’re a husband and wife videography/photography team Based on the Northern Virginia and Winchester area but always willing to travel!

Our work goes beyond amazing videos and pictures. It’s about capturing the moments and creating memories that you can hold on to forever and travel back to.

We’re two hopeless romantics that were so blessed to find each other and create a beautiful family. We are very passionate about creating memories for others that have found the same.

Ben’s style is classy, mysterious and minimalist and Karolina’s style is more colorful and eclectic! Together we complement each other, bring the best of each other and fusion our strengths to create beautiful art.

Why hire a husband/wife team?

Teamwork:
We know each other, we spend enough time with each other that there would not be a better team

You get 2 for 1:
-Which means two styles fusioned together to create pure art
-We can be in two places at the same time
-Two perspectives, more content, more angles, more emotions, more smiles
-Flexibility for situations when having either a male or a female is preferred (think bride getting ready for the big day :)

Excellent!

We hired Benjamin as our wedding videographer. He came and scoped out the venue before the actual day. On our wedding day, he was there early and stayed till the end. The video came out unbelievable and included drone footage which added to the look of it. He has a really good eye for lighting, capturing authentic moments and has a great family and personality to go with it. He made the groom and I very comfortable. We have actually continued hiring him for all of our major family events to include newborn, Christmas cards and maternity photos, which we are always satisfied with. My sister will also be using him soon for her wedding too. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend The Forge Films!

We hired Ben & Karolina to capture the beginning of our wedding, including primarily the ceremony, and first dance / father-daughter / mother-son dance. They were very discreet in capturing footage (i.e. captured a bunch of angles without blocking guests' views and working well with the photography team), were super nice to work with, and they went above and beyond even compared to the package we had booked with them. Their turnaround time for sharing footage and edited videos was quite fast too, in just a few weeks. If you are considering working with The Forge Films, I can't recommend them highly enough!

Amazing team, videos and value

Benjamin and Karolina with The Forge Films were so pleasant to work with on a busy wedding day. They had positive and friendly personalities. From the first phone interview until the final email correspondence, they were always professional and kind. And, the BEST part is the delivery of finished beautiful video products! We received a social media edited video, our full ceremony video and our highlight video and the drone footage is worth every penny to add! We are so happy we hired The Forge Films and would highly recommend them for your videos!

Amazing!!!

I cannot recommend Forge films & Ben & Karolina enough! This was one aspect of my wedding that went completely smooth, I didn’t have one single worry from beginning to end. They captured every sweet, fun, moment & then some. So professional, warm, personable & an amazing video to remember it all. It’s over so quick, but the video lasts forever.

Exceptional!!!

This couple is amazing, from personality to performance. They scope out the venue prior to the event, listen to what you want and work hard to produce. They were early to our event and just about the last to leave. Our final product is so amazing, we’ll have these precious memories to share for the rest of our lives, Thank you to this team!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
