hi, we’re mallory and grant.

and we have been together since we were 18 years old. over 11 years later, we’re just as goo goo ga ga over each other as we were back then. back in covid when all of our lives changed, we dreamed up a wedding videography company unlike others that we had seen. we wanted to offer films that weren’t the typical wedding videos, and in our films, to keep the main thing, the main thing: real moments. it is our intent to form a genuine relationship with each of our couples, especially so that we can know how to give them a product that they will truly cherish.

VOTED TOP 10 VIDEOGRAPHERS BY THE WED

INTERVIEWED & FEATURED IN PRINT BY THE KNOT

  • Our mission is to work hard, be kind to all people, to help a wedding day go by as smoothly as possible, to have a good attitude, and to be a good representative of Jesus’ love at every wedding we have the honor of filming.

  • mallory is the visionary behind MFW. a highly creative person and a deep thinker/feeler (type 4/INFJ), always striving for authenticity within herself and capturing it for others. she’s a sentimental person— and might cry during your wedding. she’s sensitive, deeply affected by the world and all that's in it. although she is technically more of the introvert of the duo, most times at a wedding you will find her hyping up her bride. she captures each couple's wedding day as she would want someone to capture her’s— focusing on the teeny tiny moments that others wouldn't think twice about. her wildest dreams include living in the desert in joshua tree without any electronics, starting her own nonprofit dog rescue, and helping young women heal their negative body image.

    the other half of MFW— grant. grant has the uncanny ability to make everyone he meets feel like a long lost best friend, and simultaneously make them feel like the most important person in the world. grant exudes joy and love, and is kind to absolutely everyone he comes across. he’s also a very chill personality that would seemingly live in california and surf everyday. his dad jokes are top tier, and he will probably make an appearance on the dance floor if you'll let him! grant is happiest either hiking in a national park, cuddling with his rescue dog, or spending time with friends.

  • On your wedding day, it is our intention to film it as authentically as possible. This means that most times, we will be in a corner or the background quietly recording what’s happening. We will capture all of the big moments- a first look (if you want one), ceremony, first dance, etc. However, the majority of our film style is made up of the in-between moments. We are not videographers that direct the day in any way: we are true documentarians.

  • We believe:

    • A wedding day is about getting married- not about getting content

    • You don’t have to do a first look/have a bridal party/do anything you don’t wanna do

    • Your ceremony should be in the place you want it, not the place that has the best lighting

    • You deserve space on your wedding day- if you want to share private vows, we won’t be there. If you need a moment to yourself, we won’t stay in the room. If you want time as a couple, I’m not going to pull you for more footage

    • The reason that your photographer and videographer are two of the biggest decisions for your wedding day is because you will spend more time with them than anyone else!

    • We are there to make your wedding day perfect- not to come in with our own agenda

    We do not believe:

    • That you need to stop yourself from ugly crying

    • That there should be more than two people in the aisle (lead photographer and lead videographer) during the ceremony, as it is a sacred moment that all of your guests deserve to see. We do not believe that it is appropriate that any other vendors are in the aisle of the ceremony (planners, content creators, etc)

    • That we need to stage certain shots (ie: you and your mom hugging after you get into your dress) if they do not happen naturally

    • We do not believe that a wedding day timeline should be rigid: we know things change day of, and we respect any last minute changes you may want to implement

    • That it is our job to tell you to smile or look happy with your spouse: we want to allow you two to interact naturally

  • Unlike other vendors who like to claim documentary but don’t live it out, we really do. This means that we will capture some incredible moments that you forgot even happened, but this also means that what really happened is what your footage will look like. If you can’t stop kissing each other all day- that’s what your footage is going to look like. If you prefer to goof off with each other and keep things silly- that’s what your footage will look like. If you are both more reserved and prefer to keep PDA at a minimum, that is what your footage will look like.
