YOU MADE IT.
Brianna and Alex, what an exciting time. I know how you’re feeling — the wave of emotions that come with being engaged and entering the planning phase is truly, incomparable. You’re starting to envision what you want your wedding to look like — you know, the slow-motion movie type of vision that feels nostalgic before it’s even happened.
You’re getting married surrounded by your closest family and friends in a place that’s near and dear to your heart and your relationship, just let that sink in. How special is it that everything in your life has led you to this incredible and monumental event?
Over our conversation, you shared how excited you are to not only celebrate your love but spoil your guests with an unforgettable experience. You care about the real moments that hold true value, and even, how you’ve connected with these exact emotions through watching my work. Your wedding weekend will be a celebration of the past 10 years, alongside everyone you love, to kick off the future of your life moving forward. You want to remember the feelings, in a unique, creative, and artful way.
Let’s just get right to it, I care…a lot. I care about you finding the perfect wedding videographer that will make these dreams that you’ve envisioned, a reality. To make this happen, you need someone who will:
CAPTURE EVERY IRREPLACEABLE MOMENT AS IF IT WERE THEIR OWN.
HUMANIZE YOUR LOVE STORY SO THAT YOUR FILM IS UNIQUELY YOURS.
CELEBRATE AND HONOR YOUR VISION, WHILE GUIDING YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
What matters.
I understand the natural stress that comes with planning a wedding because realistically, you haven’t done this before. There’s a lot of to-do’s, conversations, and blogs full of wedding do’s and dont’s. I just want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and shut it all out for a moment.
WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU? HAVE YOU BEEN ASKED THAT YET?
As you shared, an amazing videographer is up there on your list, but it’s been hard to find the perfect one.
Can I tell you something? Your wedding weekend will feel like it lasted 5 minutes. Amidst the rush of emotions, our minds can only soak up so much. There will be moments you remember on replay, but there will also be people or details you didn’t get to see. This is why having an incredible wedding film is absolutely necessary.
A past bride of mine still watches her parents’ wedding video from 1986. She lost her mother just two weeks before her wedding, and I was able to weave parts of her parents’ wedding video into hers (you’ll be able to watch it below). As heartbreaking of a story as it is, it’s powerful, and it wouldn’t have been possible without film. Not only will your wedding film capture the fleeting emotions, reactions, and details, but it will live on for generations beyond you.
Because of your wedding film, your memory of your wedding day will be preserved as opposed to fleeting.
Because of the wedding film that I will craft for you, your memory of your wedding day will be so much more than simply a documentation of the day, but truly, a piece of art.
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY, THIS IS NOT A LUXURY, THIS IS A NECESSITY.
You deserve to romanticize your own love story.
I’M HERE TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT IT FELT LIKE, THAT FEELING OF A FOREVER LOVE.
I’M Kathryn and I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE FEEL.
I’M NOT HERE FOR THE CLICHÉ’S
OR THE INSTA-WORTHY MOMENTS
OR THE CURATED REALITY
I’M HERE TO KNOW YOU AND YOUR HEART ON A DEEPER LEVEL. I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU’RE GENUINELY LAUGHING AND UNDENIABLY IN LOVE.
I WANT TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT MATTERS — ENCOURAGING YOU TO VALUE YOUR MEMORIES, OPEN YOUR HEART, AND SHOW YOU THE BEAUTY OF YOUR LIFE FROM A FRESH PERSPECTIVE.
OUR EXPERIENCES SHAPE US, YOUR LOVE SHAPED YOU.
I treat your experience as if it’s my own because it’s all I know. I love to listen, observe, and feel the depth of your emotion so that I can craft you a film that feels like the most wholesome, raw, and true representation of you and your story. It’s not going to be a film of perfect moments, because I don’t like to craft perfect moments. I want to capture a memory, not a meaningless moment. I believe in you having an heirloom that freezes your love, your people, and your story, in time forever.
My promises to you

ADDITIONAL HOUR(S) FILMING - $600/hr
Add on additional hour(s) to your package to ensure that what’s most important to you is captured. Are you having a destination wedding with pre-wedding festivities, or maybe you’re looking to have your rehearsal dinner filmed? This is your wedding, let’s customize it.
RAW FOOTAGE - $500
Your highlight film is the best of the best from your wedding day, and out of the hundreds of clips that we film, some don’t make it into the final edit. If you would like to see all of the clips captured at your wedding, consider this add-on! You’ll receive an additional hard drive organized into labeled folders (i.e. Getting Ready, Broll, Dancing, etc.) to be able to click through every piece of footage we captured from your wedding day. Imagine scrolling through the videos you’ve taken on your phone, this is like that!
*RAW footage is unedited and uncolored clips straight from the camera
FULL CEREMONY AND TOASTS - $1,200
Add a separate, documentary-style film to your package that showcases the ceremony and toasts in their entirety. This add-on is a fully edited and color-graded edit so you can rewatch your ceremony and speeches from start to finish with the highest quality.
RUSH DELIVERY - $500
Don’t let the name of the add-on fool you, I can assure you that I never rush the editing process of your film. If you’re hosting a watch-party, or are maybe having another wedding reception at a later date and would like your film delivered sooner, you can boost your film to the top of my editing cue by adding on a rush delivery! Receive your film in 6 weeks as opposed to 5 months.
“I KNOW THERE ARE DOLLAR SIGNS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK DURING THIS SEASON. BUT LOOKING BACK, WE WOULD HAVE SACRIFICED ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE IF IT MEANT HAVING THIS FILM. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS IS WHERE TO USE IT. THIS IS ALL YOU GET. YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE THE REST WITH YOU. AFTER EVERYTHING IS OVER AND THE ROOM IS EMPTY, ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS EACH OTHER...THE STORY...AND KATHRYN, AN AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR. LITERALLY.”

WHY BLNK FILMS
I value transparency, it’s how I operate. When investing in something as important as your wedding day, I believe that you should really understand what sets a trusted vendor apart from the rest. Having done this for over 6 years now, I stand wholeheartedly behind my craft and strive to provide you the caliber of film that you deserve.
I’m passionate
In order to do this job, you genuinely have to have the heart. It’s important that someone you’re trusting to film one of the most important days of your life truly cares about you and the product they deliver to you. My passion lies in telling stories that matter, yours being one of them. This passion is the spark that lit the fire behind Blnk — a business of reminding us all of what really matters the most.
I value intention
I’m an intentional filmmaker and an intentional editor. I can assure you that everything I film and the way in which I craft an edit has a purpose-driven “why” behind it. I find inspiration in your story and what makes you unique, in turn, providing you a true, one-of-a-kind film. My creative spirit doesn’t exist on an a+b=c formula, and I don’t believe that your film should either.
I’m a boutique filmmaker
My work is founded upon the concept of quality over quantity. Blnk Films is a boutique business, meaning that I set a strict cap on how many weddings I take per year. You’ll never catch me booking a double, triple, or even quadruple wedding weekend, because you deserve to have a videographer that shows up refreshed and excited to celebrate you. I want to ensure that I have the time, energy, and devotion to put my best forward during the planning, day-of, and editing process.
I edit your film
I edit everything you see and don’t outsource any of my creative work. My creativity comes alive in the editing process, as I’m continuously trying to push the boundaries of what wedding films can truly be.
same second, every time
Each collection includes two videographers, myself and Jill. Jill and I have been best friends since high school and each found our love for filmmaking separately in college. We recently opened an office space together that we run our individual businesses out of. While she owns her own business doing corporate video work, she films every wedding with me. We have an incredible working dynamic and can basically read each other’s minds while filming, so rest assured that the filmmaker joining me on your wedding day is someone I trust and whose work I admire.
“THIS IS THE BARE MINIMUM WE CAN SAY... WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING FOR A VIDEOGRAPHER, WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF WE REALLY WANTED ONE SO WE JUST CASUALLY WERE GOING LISTING BY LISTING..."OH, THAT'S PRETTY" ... "GREAT PRICE"... "I LIKE THAT SONG"... "UMMM NO"...WE WERE JUST SEEING WHAT WAS THERE. THEN WE REALIZED WE HAD BEEN SITTING IN SILENCE WITH TEARS IN OUR EYES FOR MINUTES... SO WE KNEW BLNK FILMS WAS DIFFERENT. BECAUSE WE INSTANTLY FELT SOMETHING.
THERE WERE LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL VIDEOS BUT TRUST THAT NO CAMERA OR SONG OR FILTER COULD EVER DO WHAT KATHRYN DOES. SHE MOVES WITH INTENTION AND ITS EVIDENT IN EVERY SECOND OF EVERY FILM. WATCH ANY OF THEM...ANY...NOT JUST THE ONES WITH PERFECT LIGHTING OR THE MOST GORGEOUS VENUE. SHE FILMS LOVE. MORE PARTICULARLY, YOUR LOVE. YOUR STORY. AFTER WATCHING OUR FILM (COMMENTARY ON WITH MY HUSBAND AND I SHOUTING, CRYING, PAUSING, REWINDING, POINTING OUT LITTLE MOMENTS WE NEVER KNEW WERE HAPPENING AND EVERY DETAIL WE WERE TOO BUSY TO SEE) THE FIRST THING MY HUSBAND SAID WAS "THAT'S US. THAT'S OUR LOVE. THAT'S OUR STORY. THAT'S IT."
WHEN YOU TALK SHE LISTENS. SHE TAKES IN YOUR VISION COMPLETELY WHILE STAYING TRUE TO HER VOICE AND AESTHETIC. KATHRYN WAS NOT JUST ON TIME BUT EARLY (THAT GOES FOR MY PRE-WEDDING MEET-UPS WITH HER TOO), KIND AND PERSONABLE WITH MY FAMILY, LAUGHING WITH US AND CELEBRATING US. MADE US FEEL LIKE WE WEREN'T JUST ANOTHER CLIENT. KATHRYN AND JILL MOVED AROUND THE SPACE IN SUCH A PRECISE WAY. IT’S LIKE WE KNEW THEY WERE THERE BUT SOMEHOW THEY WERE ALWAYS BLEEDING SEAMLESSLY INTO THE SPACE AND THE PEOPLE. THEY ALSO CREATED AN ORGANIC RHYTHM WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER. I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT THAT ENDED UP BEING ON SUCH A BUSY AND FULL DAY. I KNOW THERE ARE DOLLAR SIGNS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK DURING THIS SEASON. BUT LOOKING BACK, WE WOULD HAVE SACRIFICED ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE IF IT MEANT HAVING THIS FILM. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS IS WHERE TO USE IT. THIS IS ALL YOU GET. YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE THE REST WITH YOU. AFTER EVERYTHING IS OVER AND THE ROOM IS EMPTY, ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS EACH OTHER...THE STORY...AND KATHRYN IS AN AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR. LITERALLY.”

FILMS THAT MAKE MY HEART SWOON
My dream couple is not about what you look like, what you believe in, how you identify, who you love, or even the type of event you’re having — it’s about your heart.
These are two films that I believe truly encompass everything that I strive to do with my work — couples who challenged my creativity and storytelling to a new level, empowering me to make films that speak louder than my words ever could.
These are my people.
ANGELA & JOSÉ
Angela and José lit my creative soul on fire. Angela’s a storyteller in every sense of the word, I knew it from the moment she sent her inquiry to me. This is a perfect example of why it’s so important to invest the time in hiring a vendor that you connect with on a human level, one whom you’re comfortable opening up to and sharing your creative ideas. One whose vision you trust wholeheartedly. I’ll forever have a soul connection with these two, they are the epitome of what Blnk Films is all about.
MACY & BLAKE
Macy and Blake’s film is my longest, and arguably, most emotional film to date. Macy lost her mother to breast cancer just two weeks before she walked down the aisle. The way Macy and Blake, as well as their families, invited us in to share in their grief, while simultaneously celebrating their marriage is an experience I have yet to find words for. Macy trusted me with it all and didn’t hold anything back — the painful moments, the raw moments, the real and genuine wave of emotions that captivated her heart that day. It’s because of their vulnerability and trust in my creativity that I was able to make a film like this, a film with such a powerful message.
Get an exclusive private viewing of Macy and Blake’s Film! Their film will be made public next week!
Films that remind you of how it felt.
NEXT STEPS
Whew. How are you feeling?! I know this can be a lot. The biggest takeaway after scrolling through this is to ask yourself, “Do I have to have Blnk Films as my wedding videographer?” I’m after couples who would respond to that with a “Hell, yes!”
If you’re on the fence, the most important thing is for you to find a videographer that’s going to bring your dream to life. I aim to be as vulnerable and as transparent as possible because when the right couple and vendor connect, it’s undeniable that we can make magic.
This is just the beginning — I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way, so if you have questions, ask ‘em! I’m an open book. I know this is a big decision, so take your time.
When you’re ready to secure your wedding date and know the collection that will suit your needs (as well as any additional add-ons), I’ll send out an agreement and kindly request 30% for the deposit. Once those two things are taken care of, your date is on my calendar.
I’m so excited for you. Let’s make magic.

“KATHRYN IS PHENOMENAL. SHE BLEW OUR EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER AND THEN SOME. KATHRYN IS A JOY TO WORK WITH AND HER LOVE FOR CINEMATOGRAPHY AND STORYTELLING IS DISPLAYED IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WEDDING FILM. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I FIRST SAW KATHRYN’S VIDEOS, WE KNEW SHE HAD TO CAPTURE OUR WEDDING DAY. SO RAW, REAL, AND STUNNING! WE COULDN’T HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER VIDEOGRAPHER!!”

“ KATHRYN AND JILL WERE ABSOLUTELY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF DOCUMENTING THE DAY. I ROLL MY EYES WHEN PEOPLE SAY THINGS ARE PRICELESS, BUT THEY WERE TRULY AN INVALUABLE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.”
