Even the smallest details preserved.

Hi, my name is Chris Yates. I am a wedding filmmaker / videographer located in Paris, TX. I have been preserving wedding stories since 2009 throughout Texas and Oklahoma.  Every aspect-- from shooting, editing, to packaging, is created by myself, with one cohesive vision. I comb through every bit of footage, maintaining a mental catalog of everything that happens throughout your big day. Think of my job as capturing a candid, “behind the scenes” look behind the curtain, often less posed or scripted than if you were to only have photos of your day.

My style focuses on emotion and atmosphere. My goal is to artfully display everything from floral arrangements, the decor that you put so much work and time into crafting, the quiet, subtle moments, to the biggest moments of your day. I not only offer you a stylized highlights film, but I also offer additional options for archival purposes, including access to all unedited footage, saved on an external hard drive. This not only includes the most beautiful angles that make it into the highlights film but even the shaky footage that you would still want to keep for historical purposes, regardless of their aesthetics.

What differentiates my style from other videographers?

My goal is to create timeless, classy images with a cinematic feel.  I feel that the most important parts of a film are the story, atmosphere, and emotions that are on display. As a one-man operation, I try to keep a low-profile and integrate myself into your day, instead of showing up with a team of people who create a distraction. I just want to tell your story as faithfully as possible. I am your eyes that see the day the way it is, while you are busy getting married!

Do I have various packages and prices?

I aim to be as affordable and competitive with my pricing as possible— without leaving out any key features. As such, my pricing is all-inclusive. I offer a flat fee for your entire day, instead of charging by the hour. This fee includes all external factors such as travel, aerial shots, etc. so that you do not have to fuss over the details. My product is all-inclusive, partially because I want you to get the best end result possible, but also because I take pride in my work and don’t want to put out a product that is not as great as it can be. Even though you get the whole package, I still aim to be priced as competitively as others in the market. For more info on pricing, based on your geographic location and needs, request a quote!

What geographic area do I cover?

I am located in Paris, TX, but I offer videography services throughout Texas and surrounding states. I often find myself in McKinney, Dallas, Fort Worth, Tyler, Longview, Texarkana, Broken Bow, Hochatown and beyond.
