Your Special Day Films is a wedding videography service based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founder and cinematographer Terry ONeil is an avid film lover who takes inspiration from the old Hollywood classics. He spent several years as a sports photographer and videography before discovering his passion for weddings. During his time in the sports industry, he captured three Super Bowls, Pittsburgh Pirates, Riverhounds, Middleweight Championship and even David Beckham. Documenting sporting events taught him to plan ahead and be alert to spontaneous moments of high importance at all times. Terry then took his philosophy that there is already so much love and joy on a wedding day that setting up emotional shots is not only not needed but takes away from the natural emotions that you expect to see in your family and friends.
What Terry ONeil has created is his own personal fly-on-the-wall documentary style that captures all the natural emotion of the day with classic cinematic framing of scenes. He uses a storytelling approach to craft his wedding videos, focusing on the authentic connections between you and your loved ones. And never forgets why you hired him, to fully capture Your Special Day.

My now husband and I were back and forth on if we wanted to hire a videographer but I'm so glad we did. Every anniversary, I go back and watch the videos and it instantly takes me ...
back to our special day (no pun intended). Terry was phenomenal to work with. We loved that he used to work with the Steelers. He also worked very well with our photographer on the day of so our photos and videos turned out great. I thought Terry's prices were very affordable compared to other videographers yet you're paying for very high quality. I highly recommend!

Terry was the videographer for my wedding in July of 2024. He did an amazing job! I love how my videos turned out. He was great to work with as well. He listened to everything I wa...
s looking for prior to the wedding, and he didn't miss a single detail of this on our big day. He was extremely kind, flexible, attentive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend his services to anyone looking. His prices were so reasonable compared to others, and his product was worth every penny. Thank you Terry for the wonderful memories you captured for us! You are fantastic at what you do! If you are looking for someone talented and reliable, Terry is perfect!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with YSD Films. From the very beginning, they were professional, easy to work with, and genuinely cared about capturing our day the...
right way. On the wedding day itself, they blended in perfectly — never intrusive, but somehow everywhere they needed to be.
The final video completely blew us away. The storytelling, the pacing, the music choice — everything felt cinematic and emotional without being over-the-top. They captured all the big moments and the small, in-between ones that we didn’t even realize were happening at the time.
Watching our wedding film feels like reliving the day all over again. Friends and family were asking who did our video because it looked like something straight out of a movie. If you’re on the fence about wedding videography, or about who to hire, YSD Films is 100% worth it. We’d recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

evening and arrived early the day of! Terry was extremely helpful when it came to capturing our moments, adding his expertise to situations to make sure that the audio and video turned out the best. He was able to capture moments as if he wasn’t even there, providing us with a wonderful video copy of the wedding. Terry was wonderful to work with, and would recommend him as a person and to capture your wedding day!

Terry was amazing! Terry was so down to earth and very “go with the flow” which is exactly what we wanted. He also wasn’t afraid to put his two cents in and give ideas for some dif...
ferent shots which I also super appreciated. We even had some pranks incorporated in our day for some members of the wedding party and I think he had just as much fun watching and filming those play out as we all did. Our video after the fact was also stunning; it brought tears to my eyes the first time my husband and I watched it. The footage he was able to capture of us all on our wedding day truly blew every expectation I had out of the park!

Terry is a phenomenal wedding videographer and we are SO thankful we had him capture our wedding day.
From the start, I knew from our phone call that our video would be great. He ...
asked about specific shots I wanted, and if there was a particular style I wanted, etc.
Having a wedding video was really important to us just so we had something more “lively” than pictures, and Terry exceeded every one of our expectations! Every time I watch our video, I feel like I am reliving the day. He captured moments so perfectly. We rewatch our video pretty often, and I still tear up while watching - that’s how good it is.
We have family members and friends compliment our video (still even over a year later!) and ask for who did it so they can recommend to others (or for their own weddings).
I HIGHLY recommend Terry as a wedding videographer. He was a fantastic vendor to work with, he worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and was no-stress for my husband and me.

several weeks of pleading my case for a Videographer he gave in and the first thing he said after the wedding was that he was glad he did! TKO Pictures surprised us in every way. Terry was our Videographer and he was so obviously in love with his work, super fun to work with, and had the most amazing vision of capturing our big day. Our guests even said "if there was something to capture he was right there getting every minute. I love that they provide the raw footage too. Thank you to Terry and the team at TKO Pictures we love our footage!

TKO Pictures were AMAZING. We were a touch apprehensive because we didn’t do an in-person meeting like we did with all of our other vendors, but our videographer, Terry, was fantas...
tic day-of. He worked with our photographers to capture all of the important moments without getting in the still shots we really wanted. It is a complex jenga to get good videography and photography at the same time because of competing concerns, and Terry was patient and thoughtful and really tolerant of the photographers needs. We also asked him to film short interviews with our wedding party and he accommodated this request without question and we are so appreciative that he accommodated this out-of-the-box request. We had a very easy process with TKO Pictures leading up to the day. A sales rep takes you through the different packages they offer. After you sign, you fill out a form detailing your wedding schedule and any special requests. Finally, close to your wedding, you are paired with your videographer. This is a little different than other videography companies but it allows TKO Pictyures to provide an affordable, streamlined solution for any couple that wants their day capture in-action without taking a hit to their budget. Our final products were a highlight video of 3.5 min and a full length video of 35 min and both are professional and really well edited. We got to choose the music through an online platform they have, and they even found our first dance song for the highlight video! They also provide you with a form to submit any changes you might want and everything is very polished and professional from start to finish. We are so, so happy that we have such a lovely video of our day to share with family.
