The Shiang Studios

Experience

From wedding day to delivery day,

capturing your love story, one frame at a time.

Documentary style videos + heartfelt story = Shiang Studios films

I know the best films are ones that evoke emotion, pull at your heartstrings and capture you and your partner’s authentic love. I care about how you feel during your wedding and how you remember your day. I care about your experience, which is why I’ll be coordinating with your vendor team, scouting locations, and ensuring you have a smooth wedding planning experience.

My films focus on people and voices. I’m always thinking about what you and your fiance will be watching in 20-30 years. You’ll most likely be watching it with your grandchildren, friends, and family, reliving and remembering the best day of your life.

The Process

1.

Booking Day

After you inquire, we’ll set up a quick video call so we can learn more about each other and answer any of your questions. We’ll discuss my collections and select the one that fits you the best. A 50% retainer and signed contract is required to reserve your date.

2.

Your Wedding Day

My mission is to document, not produce, so I’ll capture everything as it happens: the emotional tears of joy, candid smiles, and details you spent time planning. I want you to be able to re-listen to your vows and remember the experience you had with your friends and family.

3.

Delivery Day

I pride myself on crafting a film that are unique to your love story. You can expect your film within 12 weeks, delivered digitally. If you opted for Collection II, you will also recieve your films on a video album & USB. In the meanwhile, I’ll be sending you a 60 second social media trailer within two business days.

— Amanda & Charlie

My husband Vinny and I came to James less than a month before our wedding and he was completely unphased by the timeline - he told us he had the availability and would be happy to help us find the right videography package that would not only fit our budget, but also fit the type of content we wanted captured on our special day. I cannot recommend James with Shiang Studios enough, and want to thank him again for being such a positive part of capturing our wedding memories!
