I notice the parts of a wedding other people miss.

The minutes between the planned moments

The vows matter. So do the minutes around them. Someone straightening a collar. A look across the room. The laugh nobody planned for. I film quietly and let most of the day happen on its own. That’s what your film is made of.

How I film a wedding

Mostly, I watch. I stay at the edges, listen for the vows and the speeches, and keep the camera on what’s actually happening.

Now and then a small suggestion helps the film, like a few minutes outside after the ceremony. I’ll offer it, and then I step back.

I work alongside your photographer. On larger days an associate cinematographer joins me, and I’ll tell you when that’s the plan.

“There were so many parts and details of the day that we didn’t remember - it was so cool to see it all again.”

“Brian made things so comfortable, we honestly forgot he was there half of the time and didn’t even notice him filming!”

“He has such a unique way of capturing candid moments that we just couldn’t find in other vendors.”

BEHIND THE LENS

BEHIND THE LENS

Hello, I'm Brian!

Nature Enthusiast. Music Aficionado. Storyteller at Heart.

I’m the filmmaker behind Hanscoop Films. I spend the day watching closely and staying out of the way, so the film is built from what really happened.

I take a limited number of weddings each year. Most days it’s just me with more than one camera. When your day calls for a second person, an associate cinematographer joins me.

Tell me about your date.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What’s your videography style?

Documentary. I mostly observe and let the day unfold, with light guidance when it helps the film. I use more than one camera, so the ceremony and speeches can be cut from more than one angle. Super 8 and a 90s VHS camera are available if you want an analog layer.

Can we choose the music for our wedding video?

Absolutely! I offer access to a premium music licensing platform, allowing you to select from a wide range of songs and genres to perfectly match the tone of your wedding video.

What is included in your packages?

Each collection is different. See KeepSake, Classic, Signature, and Odyssey on Investment for what’s included: View the collections

How long will it take to receive our wedding video?

Delivery timing depends on the collection. See each collection on Investment for its range: View the collections

Can specific scenes or moments be requested for the video?

Definitely! I always encourage couples to share their ideas and preferences. Together, we can create a wedding film that truly reflects your vision and special moments.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

A 50% retainer is required to secure your date. Detailed cancellation and date-change terms are available upon request.

  • "My favorite compliment I could give Brian, though there are many, he was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. When we watched the video, we had no idea he was able to capture all that he did."

    -Annie B, The Knot, 9/11/2024

  • "He blended into the day so seamlessly that at times we forgot there was even a camera, yet somehow he still captured everything with incredible clarity and intention."

    -Hanna C, Zola, 12/2/2025

  • "He made us feel relaxed and comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera, with a few suggestions to create moments that would look great on film — whether that was having us run through a field post-ceremony or capturing guests breaking it down on the dance floor."

    -Nicole K, The Knot, 9/29/2025

If you’d rather have a film of the day as it actually went (the loud parts, the quiet parts, the inside jokes), I’m probably the right filmmaker for you. If you want every minute directed, I’m probably not. Either way, tell me about your date.

Mostly observed. Lightly guided. Filmed by me.
