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 :)

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!
