I truly cannot say enough incredible things about Emmanuel! From the very beginning, he was professional, organized, and so easy to communicate with.
When we received our video, we were blown away. Our wedding day went by in such a blur, and having this video to relive it all is something we will treasure forever. If you are even thinking about booking Emmanuel — do it!!!!!

Thank you Emmanuel Wallace for capturing the spirit of the day so flawlessly!
To anyone considering hiring Emmanuel, do it. He is a genuinely great human, wonderful professional, and so receptive to your vision/preferences.
Words will never adequately describe how happy I am that we hired him and how endlessly grateful we are to Emmanuel for what he created.

AWARD WINNER
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Most couples don't realize they have a choice in how their wedding film gets made. Some companies use teams — a coordinator, a shooter, an editor — and that works for some people. But if you want something more personal, more crafted, more yours — a single filmmaker who walks with you from the very first conversation to the final delivered film — you're looking for me.
I'm Emmanuel Wallace — born and raised in North Carolina, based in Charlotte. When you book me, you get me. I take your call, I hold the camera, I edit every frame. One filmmaker from start to finish — and the result is a film that actually feels like yours.
A painter doesn't rush a canvas, and I don't rush your film. Every cut, every song choice, every moment I choose to hold a frame a beat longer — it's all intentional. That's why I only take on around fifteen weddings a year. Your wedding is a genuine passion of mine, not a production quota. And a limited calendar means your film gets the attention, craft, and creative energy it deserves.
Based in Charlotte but never limited by geography! Let's talk about turning your wedding into something cinematic
Emmanuel Wallace Film is a wedding videographer based in Charlotte, NC.

Emmanuel Wallace
Owner/Cinematographer
I am from a small town called Shelby in North Carolina, currently serving the Charlotte area and beyond. I graduated from UNC Charlotte with a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering but have found a passion in film. Although engineering and wedding film creation seem worlds apart, they are relatable. Both, at their core, take basic building blocks to create something beautiful in the end and both require creative thinking and problem-solving when needed. When I am not making wedding films, you can find me rollerblading, at a brewery, or cracking a dad joke with my friends ;)

Emmanuel is professional, worked well with our other vendors and was crazy fair in pricing. And that doesn’t even touch the quality of his videos, which are incredible.

Emmanuel is amazing at what he does! He listens to your wants and needs as a couple and follows along according to plan, with his own personal touch. He has an amazing way of captu...
ring each special moment without making you feel like he is getting in the way. He worked wonderfully along side our photographer. Each video he does is a work of creative art. He did our wedding video in 2019 and we were amazed by the outcome filled with speeches, the scenery, and all the special moments in between from our special day. I highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed!!
