I cannot recommend Wade highly enough! He was easily the most reliable person we worked with and I’m so grateful we found him. The day of my wedding he was so low key I hardly noticed he was there, which was exactly what I wanted. It never felt like there was a camera in my face or like he was in the way of the actual moment. He managed to stay in the background while still catching everything.
Also, I’ll be the first to admit I am not the most organized person. There were times I’d forget to respond or totally drop the ball and he still followed up, stayed kind, patient, and made sure I never missed anything. I never once had to initiate a check-in because he was always three steps ahead of me!!
Wade is just a genuinely good guy, and he really delivered on everything he promised, exactly when and how he said he would. Truly such a good person to have on your team. Book him.

We could not be happier with our experience with Native Nashville Wedding Videography. From the first conversation through delivery, everything was smooth and easy. On the wedding day, the team was professional, calm, and captured every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive.
Our videos turned out beautifully. They felt genuine, emotional, and perfectly reflected the day as we remember it. We are so grateful to have such a special keepsake and would recommend them to any couple without hesitation.

I have been making films professionally for 9 years now. Most of that time has been filming and editing wedding videos. This is not the extent of my skill. I also have done plenty of work filming various events for churches and other organizations. Any kind of video you can think of I can handle it. My business is based on a lot of the same values that I learned from my mentor, Luke. The client's happiness always comes before the product. I consider what I do to be performing a service not generating a product.
