Handheld Weddings by Mitchell Gaston

Hi! I’m Mitchell, a wedding filmmaker based in Indiana. I create documentary-style films focused on the small, quiet moments couples actually want to remember. I’m not big on staging or posing — I prefer capturing things as they happen, so the film feels genuine and emotional rather than “performed.” Every wedding I film includes a handcrafted feature film and a full-day documentary edit with vows, speeches, and dances preserved in full.

Most wedding films are made for Instagram — ours are made to feel like home movies you’ll actually want to revisit years from now. We focus on real emotion, real moments, and the feeling of the day, not just the highlight reel. We don’t rush, we don’t direct, and we don’t treat your wedding like a video shoot — we approach it like a story that’s unfolding, and our job is simply to witness it.
