If you are looking for the best wedding videographer in the US stop looking… you just found it! Shutter & Sound does an INCREDIBLE job not only with the final product, but also with everything leading up to your special day. One of the reasons why we chose Shutter & Sound was because of the way they intertwine speeches with different clips from your wedding! They captured the feelings and our emotions and personalities so well!

Leah M.

Shutter & Sound is fantastic! They are so talented and professional, and they were such a pleasure to work with. They were able to capture the emotion and excitement of our wedding day so perfectly and created an absolutely beautiful film that we will watch and cherish forever! HIGHLY recommended!!!

Laura Z.

Shutter & Sound is the BEST videographer in Boston. They are beyond professional and their final product is truly a masterpiece!

Amalie M.

Our wedding film from Christian, Chris, & the Shutter & Sound team is such a masterpiece! The cinematography is absolutely stunning, the music is so well coordinated, and the venue & decor are beautifully captured. They wove together every funny, intimate, and meaningful moment with us and our family & friends. It was so much fun to relive the day, especially with the full-length ceremony and toasts footage.

Katherine B.

FIVE STARS. HIGHLY recommend for your wedding! Shutter & Sound is the best. Christian made the process leading up to the wedding super easy and relaxed. He answered all emails/phone calls quickly and made sure all of our needs and wishes were met. The wedding day was also carefree and fun – our friends and family didn't even know we had a videographer because they blend in like wedding guests.

Allie B.

Highly recommend Shutter & Sound! Christian is incredible — so detail oriented, thoughtful, and talented. My husband and I are thrilled with all of his work on our wedding and we love our video. They captured everything but were so discrete, which was really important to us.

Becky K.

The experience we had with Shutter & Sound was outstanding. The end result was that everyone that has watched this video has said the same thing. What a great video. It is like watching a trailer for a movie. Needless to say we were very happy with our results and that is why we have hired them again to do my sons wedding this summer.

Rosemary N.

Amazing! Shutter & Sound delivered – amazing product, amazing quality, and he captured our day beautifully. They captured the little moments that we will have for a lifetime. All our friends and family loved it!! Thanks guys 🙂

P302 SHUTTER&SOUND 

Washington, D.C., Wedding Videographer

We film all over D.C.: Georgetown, Kalorama, Capitol Hill, and elopements out at Great Falls. At the Jefferson Memorial, at the National Cathedral, wherever the day takes us, couples want the same thing - a film that feels like a film, not a highlight reel.

You'd never skimp on the festivities of your special day, so why would you settle for JUST wedding photography? Shutter and Sound makes your wedding portfolio memorable by creating dynamic wedding videos that capture every laugh, kiss and funky dance move in an inventive and artistic way.

We give our couples nothing less than the outstanding quality they see in our video gallery. We carefully selected all 4 members of our tight-knit videography team and trained them to mimic our signature filming and editing approach. This process ensures that your wedding video will shine with the style that drew you to our company, no matter who films your special day. Pretty cool, right?

Jefferson Memorial - wedding location, TIDAL BASIN · 1943
● AERIAL

Jefferson Memorial

TIDAL BASIN

DOME · COLONNADE

This famous structure features many breathtaking design elements, like its detailed dome ceiling, mighty colonnade and vast stone staircase. We think you and your beloved will look strikingly presidential under the sun-soaked pillars of the memorial (and the Thomas Jefferson statue agrees).

Meridian Hill Park - wedding location, COLUMBIA HGTS · 1912
● AERIAL

Meridian Hill Park

COLUMBIA HGTS

CASCADE · 13 BASINS

You'll be blown away by the majesty of this urban park. Meridian Hill Park houses many famous sculptures, but its most breathtaking feature is the Cascading Waterfall, a gorgeous Italian-style fountain that flows over 13 large basins. Don't worry about getting your feet wet - the waterfall has sturdy walkways with beautiful landscaping flanking the sides.

D.C. War Memorial - wedding location, WEST POTOMAC · 1931
● AERIAL

D.C. War Memorial

WEST POTOMAC

Yards Park - wedding location, NAVY YARD · 2010
● AERIAL

Yards Park

NAVY YARD

BRIDGE · WADING POOL

Yards Park is spilling with photo opportunities, from its playful water jets to the boardwalk to the iconic contemporary bridge. And if you get hot, you can shimmy into the wading pool to cool off before visiting your next location.

National Cathedral - wedding location, CLEVELAND PARK · 1907
● AERIAL

CLEVELAND PARK

● AERIAL

Anderson House

DUPONT CIRCLE

GRAND STAIR · KEY ROOM

An Embassy Row Beaux-Arts mansion, gifted to the Society of the Cincinnati in 1937 and largely unchanged since. Marble grand staircase, frescoed Key Room ceiling, and a walled formal garden behind. The only address in Washington that turns a wedding into a state dinner - and one of the rare D.C. venues that lets a small film crew work under the chandeliers.
