I recently became a father, and I’m learning just how fast time flies by. Each moment is a precious gift, and films are a way for me to hold onto them for a little longer. And so wedding films are so much bigger than just one day for me. It’s not just about capturing your wedding - anyone can do that.

and so are your moments

Time is fleeting

It’s about telling real stories about real families to give you the best rerun of your life. It's not just about remembering your wedding day, it's about your family and what these moments in time will mean to them years down the road.

JACLYN & JOSHUA

Brown Mountain Resort | 05.13.23

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.

Liz & Cristian

Newport, NC | 05.20.23

Liz and Cristians wedding was filmed at the beautiful Carolina Home and Garden venue in Newport, North Carolina. It's so clear in this film how much these two adore each other. You can tell they are Home for each other and their infectious personalities kept me smiling the whole entire way through.  

janet & kevin

Summerfield Farms, NC | 10.28.23

Janet and Kevin are two people whose story is a genuine and pure reflection of God's redemption and restoration. Janet is one of the kindest, gentle, sweet soul I have ever had the honor of working with. Kevin is the guy you want around at every social gathering because he lights up the room with his wit and humor. These two beautiful people went through tradegy but through God's faithfulness to his People, they found rest and peace in each other. 

cam & rachel

location | 11.03.23

Cameron and Rachel's love story is a modern tale. Boy downloads dating app, girl downloads that same dating app, and through a collection of 1's and 0's they find each other. These are two people who love deeply, don't take life too seriously, and enjoy all the little moments in life. Their beautiful wedding was held in the gorgeous Chestnut Ridge wedding venue in Asheville, NC.

sarah & drew

location | 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

garner, NC | 11.03.23

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.

Sara & Jack

tennessee | 06.24.23

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.

Wayward North was able to capture our wedding in a way that deserves the title of a film. Something that we can sit down with over the years with our family to remember and really put us back in all of those feelings. 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.

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.
