We couldn't be happier with our experience with Heartbeat Films! From start to finish, Ryan and Brittany was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our vision. What truly sets them apart is their unique offering of a documentary-style wedding video, something you don't find with many videographers. This was exactly what we were looking for, and they delivered beyond our expectations.
The highlight reel captures all the big moments beautifully, but it's the full documentary that we can't stop watching. It’s like reliving our day all over again, with all the little details and candid moments that made it special. The way they wove together the footage, the emotions, and the story of our day is nothing short of magical.
If you're looking for a videographer who can truly capture the essence of your wedding day in a way that's both artistic and authentic, look no further than Heartbeat Films. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants a wedding video they'll cherish forever.
Working with Ryan and Brittany was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They are super fun and easy to work with. We just got back from our honeymoon and my wife was showing everyone the trailer that they made for our wedding. I'm pretty sure my wife has watched it over 1,000 times. This is because they care and they are masters of their craft. We are so glad that they were there to capture our special day. Do yourself a favor and hire Heartbeart films.
Almost 5 months have gone by and find myself watching our video over and over. You can’t put a price on having such a sweet memory to lean on. They by far were incredible to work with. I would 1000% percent hire Heartbeat Films again and because I have a Photo Booth company I hope I can work with them in the future. You won’t be disappointed and can trust the work they put out :) ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thank you for being apart of our big day!
Honestly, I got my wedding video/documentary yesterday and I was so eager to watch it with my husband. Please note that it was filmed on 10/22/22. Today is 11/22/22. I had chills from the teaser to the short film all the way to the documentary. What a wonderful way to relive one of the most perfect and most fun day of our lives! Brittany and Ryan were so easy to work with, make everything fun and easy! They made us feel so good about ourselves even if we felt silly. The quality of the video is amazing and the views and angles used throughout the 8 hours they were there are what makes these videos. I cannot thank this incredible team enough. I will use him again in the future. Guaranteed. Please don’t question this team. Go look at YouTube. Go watch my three videos specifically. You’ll be swept away, just like we were! Again, SO SO PERFECT. I’d pay just as much money to do it all over again!
Ryan & Brittany are the sweetest people ever and so easy to work with. They truly take in every special moment from the day to create something amazing to look back on for all of the years to come. If you have been on the hunt for the perfect videography team, stop and book them now! You won’t regret it!
10/10 recommend!
I can not recommend Heartbeat Films enough! We had the best experience. Our film was everything we wanted and more!
I would say, if you are on the fence about a videographer, HIRE HEARTBEAT FILMS. You will not regret it. Our video is so special and I love being able to watch it back and seeing things that I missed!
Everything was just perfect!
I am SO HAPPY we decided to work with Heartbeat Films for our wedding. Ryan totally understood what we were looking for in our wedding videos from our very first conversation. His attention to detail is truly unmatched — capturing the most special moments of our wedding. His communication with us was also great — both before and after the wedding! He is so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable from the start. After I posted our highlight video on social media, SO many of our friends and family reached out to tell me how amazing it was and how it captured our wedding day perfectly — and I couldn’t agree more. Definitely hire Heartbeat Films and Ryan for your wedding!! It will be the best decision you make!
Ryan was so nice and easy to talk to, and having a videographer following us around all day was not nearly as awkward as I thought it would be! I’m in love with our preview film and can’t wait for the final product!!
We were so impressed with Heartbeat Films! They are so professional and polite. They truly captured our wedding day perfectly. We could not have asked for a better experience! We highly recommend them.
We hired Heartbeat because we saw the work they did at my cousin's wedding and snatched them up! Ryan and his team did such an AMAZING job at capturing our wedding day exactly how we remembered it and he made it look like an award-winning film. They were friendly, professional, and paid close attention to all important details. Our deceased fathers were remembered/acknowledged in several ways throughout the wedding and Ryan made sure to piece it all together to truly honor them as we had hoped.
It's also important to note that Ryan seamlessly worked alongside our photographer and wedding coordinator and they bounced ideas and photo/video ops off of each other SO well. They were never in the way and captured so many special moments without me feeling like there was even a camera around at all. We were able to be ourselves and soak up the moment, and Ryan guided us during times to make sure we knew what to do and when. We love that we have the highlight film as well as the documentary film so that I can remember the excitement of getting ready in the morning and the entire ceremony, which was so special to us. He even found ways to add in some funny moments as well! Also, he sent the highlight and documentary films to us 3 weeks after our wedding, which was record time!!!
Don't hesitate to hire Heartbeat Films! You will not be disappointed!!
Ryan Rushing, owner of Heartbeat Films, is OUTSTANDING!! I am overwhelmed with the quality of his work and his professionalism. I am so glad that I insisted on a videographer and we will treasures this forever. Call him today for your wedding, you will not regret that decision! I sobbed when I saw the trailer and documentary of my daughter’s wedding! I would make this a priority on the wedding to do list!
I cannot recommend Heartbeat Films enough! Ryan and his team went above and beyond for our wedding. Our video is absolutely perfect. He pieces together everything so well, using voice over, music, and transitions at the perfect times. If you are looking for a memory that you will want to watch over and over again, do yourself a favor and book Heartbeat Films. Our family and friends are constantly letting us know how much they love it as well. Highly recommend!
I went back and forth for months on getting a videographer for our wedding and I’m so glad we did! Highly recommend Heartbeat films! Ryan and Brittany were so great to work with! Your wedding day just flies by and I so glad I had them there to capture things I would have never gotten to see or remember! Can’t thank them enough!
I am truly speechless when it comes to Ryan and Brittany. They exceeded my expectations of what a wedding videographer could bring to our wedding day. Ryan went above and beyond with meetings to help me place the wedding day so it would go smoothly being I did not hire a wedding coordinator. He helped me tremendously through the process and when it came to the day of the wedding he and his wife made sure my family and I were taken care of. They are an outstanding team to work with and I will recommend them to everyone I know getting married.
I can not recommend Heartbeat Films enough!! Ryan & Brittany are so genuine and caring and it shows in their videos.
When looking for a videographer my Husband & I wanted to make sure our video was heartfelt. That you could feel the joy and love from the day when looking back. After getting goosebumps and feeling exactly that from each of their video’s we’ve watched, we knew Heartbeat Films would be the perfect choice and we weren’t wrong. Our wedding highlight was so beautiful and heartfelt, it was everything we hoped it would be and more. We couldn’t have made a better decision with choosing Heartbeat Films and so happy we did!
Having Heartbeat Films be a part of our special day was the BEST decision we ever made! Ryan was so easy to work with and captured all of the amazing moments on our wedding day! Our film still brings happy tears to my eyes every time we watch it! We couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you so much Heartbeat Films! 💗
Ryan and his team gave us the most beautiful, memorable wedding videos!! No one wants to watch a boring, 3-4 hour video of the entire day. He created a highlight video, edited with music, speeches and shots of the venue/city that was entertaining, beautiful, and perfectly captured our magical day! By recording speeches from our rehearsal dinner and reception, he perfectly placed parts of each speech into the background resulting in a video that makes me cry tears of joy every time I watch it! I highly recommend watching some of his videos in the link below; beautiful work! Money well spent!

Ryan and his assistant quickly switched plans to accommodate my husband and I in the most meaningful and amazing way! Both my husband and I tested positive for COVID-19 two days before our wedding, and we had to cancel our original celebration and host a wedding in our backyard instead, with immediate family watching from a distance. Ryan is a true artist and told our story so beautifully on a bittersweet day. He has so much heart, talent, and an eye for detail. I recommend him a thousand times over.

This couple is AMAZING. If you do not choose HeartBeat Films, you're regret it! They capture our day perfectly and definitely showed our style. I am so glad I went with them to film my wedding day. I cannot thank them enough!!
Ryan and Brittany are AMAZING. They not only produced a product that we have and will continue to watch hundreds of times since our wedding, but they produced a true piece of art. Ryan's ability to capture the emotion, love and fun of our wedding day is second to none. Our video consists of everything from drone shots of my family's property to close ups to my reception shoes; no detail was overlooked. Brittany is simply a joy and made everyone feel at ease and beautiful. I was amazed at how they HUSTLED all day to ensure they missed no part of our day. We could not be more please with our final product. Additionally, they were prompt to answer questions and return our videos (they did an engagement party video, as well as teasers of our wedding day, wedding day video and documentary). They are an extremely talented and kind duo that I believe is unmatched. LOVE THEM!
Let me start off by saying— I can’t say enough GREAT things about Heartbeat Films and its staff! From the moment I asked them if they were available to film our wedding day, to rescheduling the wedding day (due to COVID), to the delivery of our films they were PHENOMENAL!!! Just like every bride & groom, you are looking for that perfect videographer to capture every funny/sentimental/sweet moment—Look. No. Further. Heartbeat Films is THE BEST; HANDS DOWN! I looked for months (big time videographers to smaller scale videographers) and none of them compared to how incredible this team was on every detail of the process. I ended up finding them through another videographer that was not available but was a friend of friend so they recommended Heartbeat Films. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Also, future brides— you may be working on a budget or you may not be— I can tell you it’s worth every single penny. I will have that video to cherish forever and watch over and over forever— not to mention so will our children! Our 4 year old keeps it on repeat on her YouTube channel 😆
There are many different packages offered— the one we chose included the 1 min teaser, 10 minute highlight, and a 2 hour documentary of all speeches, ceremony & reception! Again, I can honestly say it is worth millions to us!
Thank you Heartbeat Films for doing what you do! It helps us to relive one of the most special days of our lives. 💕
Love Brooke, Thomas & Abbi Adele Moore
Heartbeat Films has it all. They are professional yet laid back and great to work with. Ryan took the time to get to know us as a couple taking note of every detail that we desired in a film. I watched wedding film after wedding film from other videographers with no excitement or reaction. The minute I saw one of Heartbeat Film’s videos I cried...that’s the reaction I wanted for my own video and that’s exactly what I got!! Their talent is rare in this industry!
Heartbeat Films was sooo great to work with! We were beyond pleased with our video. I’m pretty sure we watched it over 10 times the day we got it. They were very professional and friendly. They got us our video in a very timely manor. I am so happy we will have such a wonderful video to look back on. I’d give them 11 out of 10 and I recommend them to EVERYONE!!
We highly recommend booking heartbeat films for your special day. They have a way of capturing each and every moment to make this high quality unique video you can keep forever. HANDS DOWN THE BEST!
Heartbeat Films was one of the best wedding decisions I've made! I first saw their work when they did a video of a couple from my very small town. I was so impressed with their work and decided to take the leap as my videographers! Not only are they amazing filmmakers, but Ryan is so easygoing and great to work with. Brides, if you were wondering whether or not to have your rehearsal dinner filmed, DO IT! I was so nervous some of my guests may not speak because of the cameras from the video crew, but most of the guests told me they didn't even notice they were there! And now I have this special night on film that I can cherish forever. I also loved how they incorporated the speeches into the highlight film. The highlight film was finished in about 2 weeks and was better than I imagined. I really can't recommend them enough!!
I first heard of Heartbeat Films when my friend used them for her wedding. Her video came in almost immediately, and I watched it at least 3 times back to back when she posted it. After looking at minimally 20 other companies- I realized no one else compared in both quality and price. Ryan was so great to work with. He was very both organized and easy going. He is very open to collaborating. One of the best qualities of Heartbeat Films is that you never felt like you were being filmed. One of my family members even mentioned "I never knew who your videographer was." They were always there but at a comfortable distance so no one ever felt intruded upon. Everything felt very natural. The turn around time on the videos were incredible- in 2 weeks it was complete. We love our highlight trailer and I say this as someone who hates seeing themselves on camera. It perfectly captured the night! I can't recommend them enough.
These are great people to work with! They captured every wonderful moment from our wedding!
Hunt/Kinsey Wedding: This videographer worked with my bride and groom (and family) to capture all the perfect moments. My absolute favorite was when the father of the bride turned around to see his daughter for the time in her gown! I’m still crying!
Ryan is such a sweet guy and so considerate of the couple's wishes! He and his company works so well with other vendors and the product is always amazing! You won't be disappointed!!
Heartbeat Films did an amazing job for us! They were detail oriented and very professional! They really helped us with all we envisioned and hoped for! I Our video captured all of our special moments in a very unique way! I highly recommend!
Ryan filmed our wedding and did such a fantastic job. We didn't even know he was there and the video we have is such a beautiful view of who we are as a couple. We have aerial shots and he got so many details that every time I re-watch our wedding I feel like I'm getting married all over again! He not only captured our special day but got the guests as well and it's fun to see how they were enjoying our day. We couldn't be everywhere at once during our wedding but he captured moments we wouldn't have gotten to be a part of without his video! Thanks so much Heartbeat Films for such a special gift!
I had a fairly big wedding in Manhattan and Ryan and Brittany captured it more beautifully than I even imagined. Their footage was fantastic, thoughtful, and beautifully artistic. Not only was the finished product amazing, but throughout the day they both managed to document every little thing, without ever being intrusive or pushy. They are a wonderful team, total professionals, and will get you footage you will love!
Hands down best experience ever with Heartbeat. Everything went very smoothly. He contacted me several times before my wedding to make sure all my questions were answered. He arrived on time and didn’t complain once about filming in 100 degree weather! He traveled out of town for our special day. Our video came out great and looks very professional. We would highly recommend.
Hiring Ryan with Heartbeat Films was the best decision! They were so friendly and professional. Our wedding video came out better than we could have ever imagined and in good time as well! So thankful for them to capture our wedding day!
Your wedding day is one you will always want to remember and try to relive. Every time I watch my video I think “wow, this video could not have been better.” Heartbeat films gave me the best videos I could have ever asked for. The sound and quality of my videos are amazing. I’ve heard of people waiting a year and having to figure out songs to have for their video but Ryan made the process for me so fast and easy. Within a few weeks I had my videos and he chose way better music for the video than i ever could have chosen. He let me proof everything before I gave the final okay and touched base with me to make sure I was happy and was willing to change anything I wanted. His crew was on time and very professional. I’ve never heard of someone regretting having a video of their wedding but I have heard of plenty who skimped out to save money. Heartbeat films has amazing quality and they were so affordable! Trust me, I was on a budget! I recommend them to everyone!
I cannot say enough good things about Ryan! I loved everything about my wedding video that he created. He captured every moment so perfectly and was so easy to work with. My expectations were far exceeded. Highly highly recommend!
