About Chad Whelan

Chad Whelan

Owner + Principal Shooter

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid. Specializing in short form wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a journalistic approach to capturing the day with an uptempo editing style. No posing. No staging. Just real moments and real emotion.

I am very experienced, having run a successful full-time business in the wedding industry for over 20 years. I am always the primary shooter, editor, etc. and handle every element of my business. I do not have employees or hire subcontractors, it is always me. Packaging is all-inclusive and listed on my Zola profile. There is only one option and it includes a lot. I am based in central CT with no travel charges throughout most of CT, MA, RI and parts of NY.

    Chad was excellent to work with - we wanted a video that felt authentic, candid, and beautiful, and that is exactly what we got! Chad captured all the important parts of our wedding day, all while letting us live in the moment. We often forgot we were being filmed, which really made the video a genuine reflection of our day. Thank you so much for everything!

  • Thank you Chad:)

    We loved working with Chad and Samantha. They captured all the special moments of the day and were professional. The video and audio quality were amazing in both the short vignette and long vignette videos! We requested a full video of the church ceremony and we had both Chad and Samantha to capture different angles - the editing of the different angles and shots were excellent quality. Chad was a nice calming presence throughout the day and was very easy going, which is what we needed! It was also a pleasure corresponding with Chad prior to and after our wedding. He was very quick to respond. Thank you, Chad!

    Chad and his wife were great. Non invasive and captured all the highlights that we wanted and then some! Very easy going and laid back, did not add any stress. Would recommend to a friend and to you!

    We hired Chad pretty last minute- only about two months ahead of our wedding- because I read a bunch of articles from newlyweds that said not having a videographer was their top regret. Was it an overreaction on my part? Maybe. But I am really glad that we ended up having Chad capture our wedding day. He was really helpful and knowledgeable, and was able to work with us despite our short timeline. He was also very reasonably priced, and we were able to get a great package with extended time on a special. We are so pleased with how our video came out-- we were even surprised to see that there was some beautiful drone footage of the town we got married in! He has a great eye for capturing beautiful moments and putting them together in a way that is pleasing and that will last for a lifetime!
