The Backstory

If this is your first time hearing about us, here's a little background. Guestographer is a whole new way to approach capturing your wedding or event, by using the videos & photos (photos coming coon) taken by your guests! Historically, guests capturing events on their phones has been frowned upon, with some even going as far as putting out "unplugged ceremony" signs at their wedding to discourage the guests from filming. But, inevitably, people still film on their phones. It's human nature to want to capture and remember those special moments. So we figure, why fight the current? Let's go with the current, and put those guest videos to good use! Thus Guestographer was born.

I am a full-time wedding videographer in Central California, and this idea was sparked from my experiences at hundreds of weddings over the last decade. I always saw guests capturing things on their phones, and realized that they are already doing what I'm there to do (of course in a lower quality and without the intentionality of a professional videographer, but still capturing the most special moments nonetheless). They are there, and are instinctively in-tune with the most important moments to capture. They pull their phones out and start recording, because they know that they are witnessing something they will want to remember. It eventually struck me that the guests have, in their possession, footage from all the best moments of the entire day. That sounds like a highlight video I want to see.

The Next Product (coming soon)

The most exciting new product on the roadmap for Guestographer currently is going to be an automatically edited highlight video of your event, using clips captured by your guests. I have been spending the last year and a half programming this new system, and it is nearly there! We are still in beta testing with it, but if you are interested in using this new product, before it's officially offered, reach out to me on the contact page, and I can give you more info! When released, this product will be priced between the Guest Album and the current professionally-edited highlight, coming in at $199. If you are interested in beta-testing the product, we can offer it to you for 50% off, as well as offering a guarantee of renewed access to use the system again once it is officially released to the public!

Thank You!

Lastly, I just want to say thank you to all who have come to take part in this at the start of it all! We have a long road ahead of us, and many milestone improvements planned to make this an even greater asset to the event industry going forward.

Here's to new beginnings!
