Hey there! I'm Michael LEMLEY

Based in Williamsburg, Virginia and ready to travel wherever your love story takes you. I get the opportunity to do my dream job every day and I am so grateful to Jesus for this gift He has given me to serve brides and grooms across the East Coast and beyond. My heart is to know each of my couples as genuine friends before and after the wedding day. I will be with you every step along the way to not only create a great looking wedding film but to serve you as a couple as you take this next step in celebrating your covenant together. On your wedding day, my prayer is that you will feel loved, cherished, and blessed.

MICHAEL LEMLEY

your friend behind the lens

My interest in filmmaking sparked at the young age of 6 years old when I began teaching myself how to edit and shoot video. I truly believe in the power that video has in creative storytelling. Over the past 6 years, I've had the joy to film over 100+ weddings, travel internationally, and get to know so many amazing couples along the way. As a follower of Jesus, I'm a big believer in authenticity, real moments, and your unique story.

When I'm Not Filming Weddings

You can find me checking out a new coffee shop in town, relaxing at the Outer Banks at our family’s beach  house, wandering through the aisles of my local Trader Joe's, and crossing off places on my travel bucket list.

Trader Joe's snacks are some of my favorites on a long wedding weekend, but I have to say, their Scandinavian Swimmers fruit gummies are my go-to favorites. 

01. scandinavian Swimmers, please!

The Outer Banks in North Carolina is my favorite place to relax, unwind, and spend time with my family  in the summer time. 

02. my happy place

I've been blessed to travel to some pretty incredible places across the US and outside the country. From Mexico to Yosemite National Park, it's always a treat to explore new places. 

04. Traveling adventures

Big fan of my local Orange Theory Fitness. From the community, to the personal growth, to the fun challenges, Orange Theory has a special place in my life!

03. In the orange zone
