Keep Your Special Day Special. Forever…

Your wedding is the perfect celebration of two people joining as one. Months of time, effort and emotion culminate into one perfect day. It’s a celebration with your friends and family, and a day you’ll never want to forget. Remember and relive all of those special moments, big and small with a wedding film that captures all sights, sounds, and emotions of your celebration. You’ll get to see so many things you missed, as you’ll be so busy that day. You’ll see your friends, relatives and loved ones laughing, crying, and enjoying your celebration. On a recent survey at Brides.com, one of the top five things that brides say they would have done differently was to have hired a professional videographer.

At Iris Filmworks, we’re a professional filmmaking company based in Newport, Rhode Island, and we specialize in filming weddings throughout the New England states and New York City. 

One of the things that makes us stand out, is that we’re not reaching for quantity.  Although many businesses have to grow to survive, we only want to shoot a limited number of weddings each year, and carefully decide after meeting with the couple if we’re a good fit.  So instead of shooting multiple weddings each weekend, we give your celebration our entire attention.  When  you contact us, there’s no hard sell, actually there’s no selling at all.  Just a discussion to learn more about your plans, and talk about how to best film your wedding.

The Highest Quality

Iris Wedding Films uses state-of the-art equipment, and shoots your ceremony with 4K cameras along with some of the most advanced stabilizing systems. 4K video will future proof your film.  It’s like the difference between watching old reruns vs today’s programs. Your wedding film should be shot with the highest quality available, and at Iris, that’s exactly what you get. Our main cameras all record to dual cards, and we transfer those files immediately to two separate, dedicated hard drives. Then we download the images to our main servers in two different locations. That means each file is copied and stored four times. Why do all this? Because with any advanced technology, there is potential for failure. Our strict protocol means your video files are safe at all times. 

A La Carte Options

Love Story Prequel

Our love story film is like a “prequel”, an intimate interview where we get your story ( both sides!) about how you met, fell in love, and got engaged.  This is usually done weeks before the wedding, so there’s plenty of time to relax and tell your story. It’s a great addition to your wedding film, and couples love to play these at the reception. 

Your Own Wedding Magazine. 

Ocean State Magazine can do an entire issue devoted to your wedding!  We’ll work with your photographer to get the best photos, write stories about your day!

 

Live Streaming

Iris can “live stream” your ceremony and reception so that friends and family who can’t attend can still feel like they’re there, and share in all the fun!  We can set up screens so you can interact with your virtual guests, and feel like they’re all there with you!  It’s as close to having everyone in one room as you can get!
