Tell us a little bit about your business.
Hey, I’m Brett Hammon, I’m a wedding filmmaker based in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. I’ve been making videos for about 10 years, and I’ve filmed 100+ weddings along the way.
I’m a newlywed myself, so I know how fast the day goes. You blink and it’s the last dance. My job is to hang on to the moments you’ll miss while you’re busy living them: the nervous breath before the aisle, the hand squeeze during the vows, a parent’s reaction you didn’t see.
There are two filmmakers at every wedding, and I only take one wedding per date. Every collection includes 8 to 10 hours of coverage, drone footage, professional audio all day, your full ceremony film, licensed music and a full color grade. You’ll get a sneak peek in about 72 hours, your trailer within 2 weeks, and your full film within 90 days by private download link.
Collections start at $4,200. Bronze is $4,200 and includes a 3 to 5 minute film. Silver is $5,600 and adds extended coverage, a 5 to 7 minute film and a reception speeches film with every toast. Gold is $7,100 and adds a 7 to 9 minute film, a Wedding Content Creator shooting vertical, social-ready video all day, full rehearsal dinner coverage and your complete raw footage archive. A 50% retainer holds your date.
I cover weddings within about 2 hours of Pittsburgh. Getting married farther away? Same collection prices. You cover travel, a hotel and a rental car.

What makes your work unique?
I care a lot about sound. I record the ceremony with a dedicated audio setup, put discreet mics on for your vows, and take the speeches straight from the sound system. Every collection includes your full ceremony film, start to finish, and Silver and Gold add a reception speeches film. Your vows and toasts get more than a few seconds in a highlight reel. With two of us filming, we also catch both sides of the aisle, so you’ll see the faces you had your back to.
What is your ideal client like?
Couples who want the real day on film. Your people matter to you: your grandma on the dance floor, your best friend’s speech, your dad’s face during the first look. You want to watch your film in 20 years and hear everyone’s voices again. If that sounds like you, we’ll get along great.
What is your approach to videography?
Before the wedding, we talk through the people, tradition, and words that matter most to you. I look over your timeline and check in with your planner and photographer when it helps. I ask a lot of questions. Probably more than you expect.
On the day, I keep things calm and stay out of the way. I watch for what’s already happening and film it as it happens. You won’t have to perform for the camera. Nobody’s asking for a slow-motion twirl unless you really want one. I might suggest a couple of quick shots when the light is good, and that’s about it.
Do you offer drone video coverage?
Yes. Drone footage is included in every collection, flown when the weather, the venue, and FAA rules allow.
