Wedding Videography by Dan Florez

Hello! Glad you’re still here. On this page, I wanted to expand on some of the information about what I offer, my process, and some of the differences between film various film formats.

First, while I’m based in St. Augustine Florida, I’ve filmed weddings all over the country and a few international locations. I love to travel (who doesn’t?), so if you’re out of the immediate area, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d love to help where I can!

Digital or Film?

Digital is clean, flexible, and practical. Honestly, there are no downsides at all, and it would make a lot of sense to only focus on that aspect. It lets us cover more ground and document full moments from start to finish, and everything in between. It makes life so much easier on our end and it’s fun to shoot.

Film, whether it’s the tiny Super 8 or much larger 16mm, feels very different. It runs out. I have to manually operate every aspect of the machine. It forces slowness. But what it captures has a depth, weight, and a kind of permanence that’s hard to explain. Something about it really feels like it has a life of it’s own, and while I’m getting good at emulating it on digital - there’s nothing quite like the real thing. In a way, it’s a bit like having an original painting instead of the print.

Some couples blend the two. Some go all-in on one. There’s no right answer — just what feels like the best fit for how you want your day to live on.

After documenting weddings for a long long time (I shot my first wedding around 2009), I’m very comfortable with the flow of the day and even better at staying out of the spotlight. The day is really about you, I’m just there to prove it happened, and help you remember it for years to come.
