When we’re in the editing room, what gives us watery eyes and a lump in our throat are the moments you experience with your loved ones. It’s likely the only day where all your friends and family will be in the same place, at the same time, celebrating you. If you think that’s powerful now, picture 5, 10, or 25 years down the road. Being able to relive the essence of the day not just in a still image, but with motion and sound. That’s invaluable. Your future self will thank you.

Relive the essence of your wedding day

Finding vendors you trust is tough.

We understand. We’re recently married. This is our real life wedding photo.

In our planning, we’ve had conversations that feel like sales calls, unexpected fees on invoices, automated email responses…

It’s hard to find vendors that truly support you, that make you feel comfortable going into one of the most important days of your life. But when you do, it’s a liberating feeling.

That’s why we approach wedding filmmaking by getting to know each other first. Verterra Films exists because you deserve to feel at ease on your wedding day so you can be your truest self.

“I wanted let you know how much of an impact your video had on not only us but also all of the guests at our reception. Everyone was saying it was the best wedding video they’ve ever seen. Thank you again for your amazing work! You guys had such a positive impact on our wedding day and reception!”

-Kaitlyn & Brian

“Oh my gosh. Just watched the highlight video. It’s so beautiful. We really had the perfect day and you captured my favorite moments.”

-Chandler & Edward

Mercedes and Jesse aren’t just wedding filmmakers.

They both work professionally in the film industry so you can trust the quality you'll receive.

“Mercedes is unlike any video editor I’ve ever seen. She is self-taught, tender, thorough, and breaks the rules of film theory if it feels good. She is an experienced creative, meaning she understands the nature of the present moment – the space where emotion lives.”

- Jesse

“Jesse approaches all things he does with passion and care. It’s not uncommon to hear him say ‘man, this is fun!’ after creating the perfect sound effect for a video or nailing a drone shot. He is truly fired up about what he does. But most importantly, it’s his ability to connect with people that leaves a lasting impression.”

-Mercedes

“I’m at a loss for words. This video is absolutely AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for doing such a phenomenal job capturing our day!! Tom and I and both of our families absolutely love it!”

-Amy & Thomas
