I’m so glad we had Austin there to capture our wedding day. He made everything feel easy and never made us feel like we had to be “on” for the camera. He was friendly, patient, and always seemed to know when to step in and capture something and when to just let the moment happen. Seeing the final video brought back so many emotions from that day, and it was so special seeing all of our favorite memories come together in one video.

Austin was the best to have there on our wedding day. He was so easy to talk to and made everything feel really comfortable and natural. We never felt like we were being rushed or awkwardly posing for the camera, and he did such a great job capturing all the little moments throughout the day. You can tell he genuinely cares about the couples he works with and wants you to have something special to look back on. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Artfully Preserving Your Love Story
Capture the romance of your special day with Amará Media, a wedding videography business based in Baldwinsville, NY. These skilled videographers offer a range of packages tailored to your specific needs for your wedding celebration. From intimate engagement films to eight hours of wedding day coverage, you'll be left with stunning footage that transports you back to the magic of your big day. Packages can include two videographers, with story-driven edits and full cinematic wedding films available. Just reach out to the Amará Media team, describe your vision, and they'll get back to you with a bespoke quote.
I believe weddings are deeply personal moments, and the team capturing them should feel the same way. That’s why I work with a smaller, more intentional crew so your day feels intimate, comfortable, and never overwhelming.
A tighter team also means something just as important: faster turnaround times. Newlyweds shouldn’t have to wait months to relive one of the most meaningful days of their lives. My goal is to deliver your forever films with care, quality, and respect for your time—so you can start reliving your memories while they’re still fresh.
Your story deserves to be captured thoughtfully and delivered on time.
