Every unforgettable word spoken, every special hug. Everything that defines you as a couple. You will get to watch how all your friends and family celebrated your love while dancing and laughing the night away.
Because I have been doing this for over a decade, I know how to capture all the right moments.
You could relive all the special moments and notice all the little details you missed as you were wrapped up in the excitement.
That’s where my magic comes in.
I have a hands-off approach to filming to stay true to who you are as a couple. My goal is to be a calming presence on your wedding day, fading into the background and supporting you as needed. There are less than a handful of times I direct my couples as I want to capture true emotion, genuine laughter, and candid moments without interrupting your experience as much as possible.
I am a stealthy filmmaker, but I can also lend a helping hand with your finishing touches. Need help pinning a boutonniere? Or placing a stubborn bobby pin? I've got you.
What if you could watch the day you say "I do" over and over?

Personal Attention
What you can count on everytime.
Do you travel?
Short answer: Absolutely!
I love to travel! I have filmed throughout New England and New York. I would love the opportunity to travel outside of the Northeast! If you are interested in working together and having an event outside of New England and New York, please reach out regarding a customized package to fit your needs.
How many weddings do you take each year?
Starting in 2024, I will be taking only one wedding a weekend and capping it at 15. Doing this will help me give each couple and their films the attention they deserve, as well as give me time to spend with my family.
Are you insured?
Yes, The Heartfelt Narrative has liability insurance through Next Insurance, and proof coverage can be given upon request.
Do you offer aerial coverage
Starting in 2023 I have added aerial footage to every collection for no additional cost! Please keep in mind that we can only offer this service if the weather and location permit it.
How long does it take to receive our final collection?
It can take up to 3-6 months depending on the time of year and how busy it is. I work diligently to get each and every edit completed as quickly as possible.
Do you have backup personnel and equipment?
Yes. I know several videographers I can reach out to in an emergency. I also carry backup audio recorders and cameras in case of malfunction, and we always have more batteries and cards than I actually need. Your footage is also backed up multiple times and stored in case of drive malfunction.
Do you meet with couples prior to booking?
I love to meet with anyone who inquires with us! I also understand that wedding planning can be super stressful and busy, so if you can’t fit in a meeting, we can Zoom or chat on the phone. Regardless of what you want, I always send out a questionnaire and set up a zoom meeting before the big day to ensure I have everything I need and answer any questions you may have. I also go over what time would be best for me to start and end filming and make sure we are on the same page; that way you can spend time celebrating and not worrying about what your vendors are doing.
What if something happens and I lose my collection after you delivered it?
Since I started this company in 2017, I have not deleted a single wedding collection or file. I believe that memories like these should not be deleted. After I deliver your collection, I store all of the files from your day, as well as all the project files and final films, in my archive. Rest assured, I can retrieve your videos for you. Just keep in mind that even though I have everything archived, it can take a couple of days to pull everything and get you the files
It’s after my wedding, can I add more edits?
Yes! Just send me an email, and I can send you an invoice. Please keep in mind that depending on the time of year and how busy it is, it might take a bit to get it to you. The invoice must be paid before I add it to my editing queue
Who chooses the music for our film?
I usually choose the music for your film. I spend hours and hours listening to music until I find the perfect song that matches the vibe of the day. I will ask questions about your favorite and least favorite genres of music in your final questionnaire, as well as pay attention to the music played at your wedding. If you want more say in the music for your film, I can send you a playlist of songs that I feel fit the feel of your day. For copyright reasons, I have to license the music I use. I have several websites where I can license music from, but unfortunately, most popular music cannot be licensed.
FAQ
Ashlee/The Heartfelt Narrative absolutely blew us away, and we could not be happier with the videos we have from our wedding day. She went above and beyond to capture every little detail and turn it into the most beautiful final videos that we will cherish forever and ever.
