Wedding Films That Feel Like Home

Your wedding day is so much bigger than one day. Its the start of something much deeper. While we love celebrating the wedding itself, what is often forgotten is the journey that led you here. The late night conversations, the midnight car-rides, all the small moments that built a home in your hearts. Thats the story worth telling. Your film deserves to feel like you in every frame. Not just a record of a day, but the reminder of where your familys story started. The kind of film your kids pull out years from now to remind themselves where it all began.

Becoming a parent teaches you how cruel time can be and how fast it truly passes by. Each moment is a precious gift, and your film is a way for you to hold onto them for a little bit longer. That is why wedding films are so much bigger than just one day for me. It’s not just about capturing your wedding - anyone can do that.

ITS ALSO FOR THEM...

It's not just for you...

This is about preserving the heart of your family, so the rerun of your life plays on for generations. One day, your kids and grandkids will watch this and see where it all began. They’ll see their grandpa walking you down the aisle, they'll see dad crying over their mom, the way you looked at each other—and even better, they’ll feel it.

An heirloom that not only captures your wedding

The Wayward North Experience

what our couples feel

Jaclyn and Joshua's story of loss, love, and true companionship is a testimony of perseverance, faithfulness, and why family is so important. Why what we do as wedding storytellers is so important, its for stories like these. Real, heartfelt, vulnerable stories that speak to the heart and spread the most important message of all, that Love is EVERYTHING.

GABE & Sydney

Board and batten events, NC | 12.13.24

Gabe and Sydney's powerful christ-centered wedding film is one for the books. This beautiful wedding captured at The Board and Batten events is one of my favorite stories to date. These two met at Church through mutual friends and built a strong foundation that is truly an inspiration. This godly couple demonstrate the kind of love that is rarely seen and felt in today's culture. This beautiful wedding was captured at Board and Batten events in North Carolina and is one of my favorite stories to date!

Hannah and Max's heartfelt and cinematic wedding was filmed in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. This couple just has that chemistry and unexplainable connection. It's evident in how they look at each other and treat everyone around them like family. These two are some of my favorite people ever and I hope you all enjoy their beautiful story. P.S. Their vows are everything!

overlook barn, nc | 11.03.23

Sarah and Drew met in college through Athletes in Action, a faith based organization for student-athletes at the University of Virginia. They went to the same church, ran in the same circles, had a class together, and inevitably became really close friends. They started dating and the rest is history! Their christ-centered wedding was a such a beautiful one to witness and the groom loses it when he sees his Bride, Sarah.

Sydney & Kevin

Sydney and Kevin's romantic wedding  was captured at the beautiful Distillery in Garner North Carolina.  Their relationship has always been built on love, security, and trust. You can feel their passion and heart in every single frame. Their dedication towards each other and their family is a beautiful testimony towards what makes Life so precious and why every moment deserves to be savored through film.

charlotte, nc | 8.29.25

Sara and Jack got married in the beautiful Tennessee mountains at the Trillium wedding venue in Sevier, TN. Sara and Jack are total introverts just like me, probably why we hit it off so well. Their story is such a beautiful reminder that once you find the one whom your soul loves, never ever let go.

Iralyn and Spencer got married at Runnymede in Charleston, South Carolina. A beautiful wedding venues right by the water and it was honestly the perfect day.

My goal when you watch your wedding film together that you’ll get that "this is us" feeling in every frame. I want you to experience the same feelings, love, joy, and connection as if you are right back at that altar. Ultimately, I aim to craft a story that captures the spirit of your love and the essence of family. A real, story-driven film that feels like home.

of your heart 

There are not enough words to express how incredible Wayward North Films and Jaired are. When someone else's wedding film makes you cry, you know the person behind the camera must be pretty special. On the day of, Jaired was like a member of our family. He wasn't intrusive or directorial at all. He captured us in our quiet moments together and in the biggest moments of the day. He let us be ourselves, which was important for us as neither my husband nor I are very comfortable in front of the camera. The film is stunning, magical, and more than we could have ever hoped for. We love our wedding photos but our wedding film brings the day to life.

"We couldn't stop Crying!"

Hiring Jaired was one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding. From the very first conversation, he was intentional, professional, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple, and that care translated directly into the final film. Beyond his incredible talent, the whole process was smooth and stress-free. He communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions ahead of time, and delivered exactly what he promised. If you are on the fence about wedding videography, let this be your sign. Book Jaired. You will not regret it

Jaired's talent is UNMATCHED. I used to work in Hollywood with huge crews just to capture ONE shot. How he captured all of these amazing moments on our wedding day by himself is beyond me! Jaycob on record says, "I stand corrected." He initially didn't think he would want a wedding video but seeing his own video changed his mind completely. 

maria + jaycob

"I stand corrected..."

You can tell that passion is at the heart of Jaired's work and he manages to intertwine passion, creativity and talent into something truly special. Jaired cared about what story we wanted to tell and had a desire to hear more about that to shape the film. On the wedding day, the team was wonderful to have around; kind, professional and present without being obtrusive in any way. I couldn't imagine entrusting such a huge piece of our wedding to anyone else and will continue to recommend Wayward North Films.”

The Approach

Feels like Home

Family is at the heart of everything I do. Your wedding film isn’t just about capturing the event itself - it's about preserving a legacy for you and your loved ones. There's something magical about sitting on your front porch years later, surrounded by loved ones, and revisiting those moments that made your heart skip a beat. A well-crafted wedding story is more than a keepsake; it's a powerful gift that takes you back to every emotion. It's a way to connect with your family history and share those precious memories with the people who matter most.

Story-driven

Feels like Home

I believe your wedding film deserves an artful expression that combines the character of nostalgia with real life-shaping moments. I aim to capture those spontaneous, unguarded moments - the joyful tears, the unexpected bursts of laughter, the subtle glances that say more than words ever could. These are the elements that make your story truly yours. I seek to document them in a way that feels genuine and deeply personal. It's about honoring who you are in a way that’s real and true.

Feels like Home

My goal is to create a film that feels like home. I handcraft your film to be a comforting reminder of what matters most. I truly believe that the beauty of your wedding day comes from the genuine connections and simple moments that make it uniquely yours. There's no need for elaborate setups or forced poses - just the warmth of family, the joy of friends, and the love that brings everyone together. I aim to capture your day in a way that feels like a relaxed family reunion, where everyone is comfortable and able to be their most authentic selves.
