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.

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.

Going on new adventures is one of my favorite things to do with my couples before the wedding day! Whether that means going on a hike, trying out a new coffee shop, or finding the perfect spot to watch the sunset, I'm always ready for new experiences with couples turned friends.
