Wedding Videographer 🎥
JB Horn Film
Fun Fact: The owner actually got his film start in horror, of all genres, back in the day, often recruited friends to help him make silly films to pass the time. It wasn’t until he filmed his first wedding that he realized the true power of film. As he says on his website, “We sometimes don’t realize in the moment when our most important memories are happening. We look back years later and want to live in those moments, but the more time passes, the less clear that moment is in your mind. Not only do I get to be there and bear witness to those moments, I am lucky enough to preserve it and take you back to that moment so you can feel how you felt back then. Film is powerful.” His goal is to deliver films that are true to you as a couple, and to challenge himself every wedding to make the best film he can make.
