Some videographers get so caught up (read: stressed) in the ins and outs of the day. They turn your wedding day into a production and somehow miss the mark on what this day is all about.
Not me.
I'll capture your real moments without overpowering them. (i.e., I won't get up in your face, and I won't make you feel awkward.) And because I know how to read you and the energy in the room, I'll communicate and adapt to whatever the day brings—with a positive attitude and a calming, encouraging vibe.

Sean was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We originally weren’t sure about hiring a videographer and then I found The Shepherd and that immediately changed. I couldn’t picture not having them there to capture our special day. Sean and his team went above and beyond in every way. From the planning stage, to making us feel relaxed and natural the day of, actually being there for the WHOLE day, and being so reliable throughout, they were a joy to work with. They were able to capture every important (and fun!) moment beautifully and really told the story of our wedding. Sean has a way of capturing moments so truthfully while adding his artistic style that I love. I will forever cherish what Sean and The Shepherd captured for us.

My husband and I hired Sean for our wedding videographer and we were very happy with our finished product. We picked Sean for his production quality and because we liked the clarity and picture. He was very laid back & personable and helped two very “uncomfortable in front of the camera” people feel more comfortable and made us relaxed on our big day. It did take a while for us to receive our full video, but it was much longer than we anticipated and are happy with all that he included! We have shared the video multiple times with family and friends and are always so happy to relive that day and those memories. I fully recommend Sean and his skills for your videography.
Any questions?

Small business, big results! We booked Sean as our wedding videographer because of his joyful energy, reliability, and personal point of view. Each of his videos tell the unique stories of a couple's union. Our video was an incredible depiction of our big day and somehow captured our entire relationship. Sean balanced the intimate moments with the high energy clips, keeping us excited to watch our video over and over! You will spend a lot of time with your photo and video teams on your wedding day. Choose Sean who is an automatic friend willing to deliver instruction with a smile, and if you're lucky his sisters are a great part of the team too!

Sean and his work are nothing short of amazing. One of the coolest and most down-to-earth person you will meet! He will perfectly capture your wedding day and personality within his videos. He truly loves what he does and puts his all into it. I promise working with Sean is something you will never regret. After my husband and I received our video, we probably watched it ten times that night because we loved it so much. I cannot wait to look back at our videos for many years to come and relive my wedding day over and over.

Sean went above & beyond with the making of our wedding video. He included all the moments that mattered - from the speeches, personal vows, first look, ceremony, & reception fun. I felt that our love & our personalities were captured and portrayed really well. It felt like us! It captured both the deep/meaningful moments and the party/fun vibes. Plus, I loved the music he chose. And the way he pieced words, scenery, & music together was perfect.
Lastly, he was just a joy to have around throughout the day. You end up spending a lot of time around your photographers & videographers on your wedding day! And Sean & his second shooter were both delightful, fun, & put me at ease. I highly recommend him for your big day!

We loved getting to work with Sean throughout the entire planning process. When I was thinking of booking him, he took the time to do several phone calls with my husband and I to get to know us and talk about what we wanted in a wedding video. After booking, he was still very communicative and helpful if we had any questions along the way. Sean's enthusiasm for what he does is clear in every interaction we've had with him which made working with him for our big day a joy! When we got the wedding video it was everything we could have hoped for and more!! He did a great job. Wedding videography is worth the investment, and Sean is a great person to help preserve the memories!

Sean was a joy to work with. He was brought in last minute when we made the decision to include video for family not able to travel from overseas due to Covid restrictions. Word to the wise, we should have ALWAYS planned to have a video from Day 1 because it is now our favorite post wedding memory. Sean’s work truly captured the essence of our wedding weekend. Aside from the quality of the final product, he was extremely committed to the planning process and to ensuring he delivered the best for us. He coordinated with a team guaranteeing we had drone coverage and worked with our schedule to be present for multiple events through the weekend. We knew we needed the right videographer to accommodate our fusion wedding and Sean was perfect!! We really can’t say enough positive things. Even our vendors from all over loved working with him enough that they’ve continued to stay in touch and work together in months following our wedding. Please book Southern Vistas Productions!

Southern Vistas was the EVERYTHING we could of hoped for! Sean and his team gave us the best coverage we could have asked for of our special day. They also were very flexible when it came to the weather that we experienced; it absolutely poured day of and that did nothing to stop them from creating the best video that not only captured the chaos of our wedding day but also our personalities. Also, before the wedding Sean took the time to get to know us over zoom and answered all questions that we had. Despite getting stuck in the mud on our off-road wedding venue whenever Sean arrived early, he was still able to get coverage of everything and more! He even took everything that he captured and put it on a flash drive for us to keep as our own so we have all the audio and video that was recorded on the wedding day! The video that he made is something that we will cherish forever. We couldn't ask for anything better. All in all, my wife and I will definitely be using Southern Vista Productions in the future and recommend them to everyone who wants a personal wedding video that is unique and a perfect rendition of the events that transpire throughout your wedding day.

Sean was absolutely amazing and made all of our dreams come true!! He was professional and yet personable. Myself, my groom and everyone at our wedding loved him!. He worked so well and was laid back with all of the photographers, yet he got every perfect shot. I admit I was very particular and knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding video. I was actually pretty nervous but even before I met Sean, he called me and worked with me every step of the way. Not only did he make me feel more comfortable due to his full confidence in his work but he exceeded my expectations by a landslide. He was reasonably priced and we got out video in less than 2 weeks! I’m so happy we chose him and we get to relive our wedding day on repeat through his beautiful work. Thank you so so much Sean!! BEST VIDEOGRAPHER EVER!

Sean was the videographer at our wedding in Chattanooga and he was outstanding. He was super prepared and made sure to communicate his plans to us early to ensure that there were no surprises on the wedding day. The final product was returned to us promptly, and my wife and I were thrilled with the outcome! You cannot go wrong with Southern Vistas Productions.
