Ryan and Brittany were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made us feel completely comfortable and seamlessly blended into the day, capturing natural, candid moments without ever feeling intrusive. Their talent, professionalism, care, and attention to detail are unmatched.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Heartbeat Films! From start to finish, Ryan and Brittany was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our vision. What tr...
uly sets them apart is their unique offering of a documentary-style wedding video, something you don't find with many videographers. This was exactly what we were looking for, and they delivered beyond our expectations.
The highlight reel captures all the big moments beautifully, but it's the full documentary that we can't stop watching. It’s like reliving our day all over again, with all the little details and candid moments that made it special. The way they wove together the footage, the emotions, and the story of our day is nothing short of magical.
If you're looking for a videographer who can truly capture the essence of your wedding day in a way that's both artistic and authentic, look no further than Heartbeat Films. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants a wedding video they'll cherish forever.
Working with Ryan and Brittany was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They are super fun and easy to work with. We just got back from our honeymoon and my wife was ...
showing everyone the trailer that they made for our wedding. I'm pretty sure my wife has watched it over 1,000 times. This is because they care and they are masters of their craft. We are so glad that they were there to capture our special day. Do yourself a favor and hire Heartbeart films.
Almost 5 months have gone by and find myself watching our video over and over. You can’t put a price on having such a sweet memory to lean on. They by far were incredible to work w...
ith. I would 1000% percent hire Heartbeat Films again and because I have a Photo Booth company I hope I can work with them in the future. You won’t be disappointed and can trust the work they put out :) ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thank you for being apart of our big day!
Honestly, I got my wedding video/documentary yesterday and I was so eager to watch it with my husband. Please note that it was filmed on 10/22/22. Today is 11/22/22. I had chills f...
rom the teaser to the short film all the way to the documentary. What a wonderful way to relive one of the most perfect and most fun day of our lives! Brittany and Ryan were so easy to work with, make everything fun and easy! They made us feel so good about ourselves even if we felt silly. The quality of the video is amazing and the views and angles used throughout the 8 hours they were there are what makes these videos. I cannot thank this incredible team enough. I will use him again in the future. Guaranteed. Please don’t question this team. Go look at YouTube. Go watch my three videos specifically. You’ll be swept away, just like we were! Again, SO SO PERFECT. I’d pay just as much money to do it all over again!
Ryan & Brittany are the sweetest people ever and so easy to work with. They truly take in every special moment from the day to create something amazing to look back on for all of t...

ideographer, HIRE HEARTBEAT FILMS. You will not regret it. Our video is so special and I love being able to watch it back and seeing things that I missed!
Everything was just perfect!
I am SO HAPPY we decided to work with Heartbeat Films for our wedding. Ryan totally understood what we were looking for in our wedding videos from our very first conversation. His ...
attention to detail is truly unmatched — capturing the most special moments of our wedding. His communication with us was also great — both before and after the wedding! He is so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable from the start. After I posted our highlight video on social media, SO many of our friends and family reached out to tell me how amazing it was and how it captured our wedding day perfectly — and I couldn’t agree more. Definitely hire Heartbeat Films and Ryan for your wedding!! It will be the best decision you make!
Ryan was so nice and easy to talk to, and having a videographer following us around all day was not nearly as awkward as I thought it would be! I’m in love with our preview film an...

ighly recommend them.
We hired Heartbeat because we saw the work they did at my cousin's wedding and snatched them up! Ryan and his team did such an AMAZING job at capturing our wedding day exactly how ...
we remembered it and he made it look like an award-winning film. They were friendly, professional, and paid close attention to all important details. Our deceased fathers were remembered/acknowledged in several ways throughout the wedding and Ryan made sure to piece it all together to truly honor them as we had hoped.
It's also important to note that Ryan seamlessly worked alongside our photographer and wedding coordinator and they bounced ideas and photo/video ops off of each other SO well. They were never in the way and captured so many special moments without me feeling like there was even a camera around at all. We were able to be ourselves and soak up the moment, and Ryan guided us during times to make sure we knew what to do and when. We love that we have the highlight film as well as the documentary film so that I can remember the excitement of getting ready in the morning and the entire ceremony, which was so special to us. He even found ways to add in some funny moments as well! Also, he sent the highlight and documentary films to us 3 weeks after our wedding, which was record time!!!
Don't hesitate to hire Heartbeat Films! You will not be disappointed!!
Ryan Rushing, owner of Heartbeat Films, is OUTSTANDING!! I am overwhelmed with the quality of his work and his professionalism. I am so glad that I insisted on a videographer a...
nd we will treasures this forever. Call him today for your wedding, you will not regret that decision! I sobbed when I saw the trailer and documentary of my daughter’s wedding! I would make this a priority on the wedding to do list!
I cannot recommend Heartbeat Films enough! Ryan and his team went above and beyond for our wedding. Our video is absolutely perfect. He pieces together everything so well, using vo...
ice over, music, and transitions at the perfect times. If you are looking for a memory that you will want to watch over and over again, do yourself a favor and book Heartbeat Films. Our family and friends are constantly letting us know how much they love it as well. Highly recommend!

our wedding day just flies by and I so glad I had them there to capture things I would have never gotten to see or remember! Can’t thank them enough!
I am truly speechless when it comes to Ryan and Brittany. They exceeded my expectations of what a wedding videographer could bring to our wedding day. Ryan went above and beyond wi...
th meetings to help me place the wedding day so it would go smoothly being I did not hire a wedding coordinator. He helped me tremendously through the process and when it came to the day of the wedding he and his wife made sure my family and I were taken care of. They are an outstanding team to work with and I will recommend them to everyone I know getting married.
I can not recommend Heartbeat Films enough!! Ryan & Brittany are so genuine and caring and it shows in their videos.

sure our video was heartfelt. That you could feel the joy and love from the day when looking back. After getting goosebumps and feeling exactly that from each of their video’s we’ve watched, we knew Heartbeat Films would be the perfect choice and we weren’t wrong. Our wedding highlight was so beautiful and heartfelt, it was everything we hoped it would be and more. We couldn’t have made a better decision with choosing Heartbeat Films and so happy we did!

Ryan and his team gave us the most beautiful, memorable wedding videos!! No one wants to watch a boring, 3-4 hour video of the entire day. He created a highlight video, edited with...
music, speeches and shots of the venue/city that was entertaining, beautiful, and perfectly captured our magical day! By recording speeches from our rehearsal dinner and reception, he perfectly placed parts of each speech into the background resulting in a video that makes me cry tears of joy every time I watch it! I highly recommend watching some of his videos in the link below; beautiful work! Money well spent!

fore our wedding, and we had to cancel our original celebration and host a wedding in our backyard instead, with immediate family watching from a distance. Ryan is a true artist and told our story so beautifully on a bittersweet day. He has so much heart, talent, and an eye for detail. I recommend him a thousand times over.

h them to film my wedding day. I cannot thank them enough!!
Ryan and Brittany are AMAZING. They not only produced a product that we have and will continue to watch hundreds of times since our wedding, but they produced a true piece of art. ...
Ryan's ability to capture the emotion, love and fun of our wedding day is second to none. Our video consists of everything from drone shots of my family's property to close ups to my reception shoes; no detail was overlooked. Brittany is simply a joy and made everyone feel at ease and beautiful. I was amazed at how they HUSTLED all day to ensure they missed no part of our day. We could not be more please with our final product. Additionally, they were prompt to answer questions and return our videos (they did an engagement party video, as well as teasers of our wedding day, wedding day video and documentary). They are an extremely talented and kind duo that I believe is unmatched. LOVE THEM!
Let me start off by saying— I can’t say enough GREAT things about Heartbeat Films and its staff! From the moment I asked them if they were available to film our wedding day, to res...
cheduling the wedding day (due to COVID), to the delivery of our films they were PHENOMENAL!!! Just like every bride & groom, you are looking for that perfect videographer to capture every funny/sentimental/sweet moment—Look. No. Further. Heartbeat Films is THE BEST; HANDS DOWN! I looked for months (big time videographers to smaller scale videographers) and none of them compared to how incredible this team was on every detail of the process. I ended up finding them through another videographer that was not available but was a friend of friend so they recommended Heartbeat Films. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Also, future brides— you may be working on a budget or you may not be— I can tell you it’s worth every single penny. I will have that video to cherish forever and watch over and over forever— not to mention so will our children! Our 4 year old keeps it on repeat on her YouTube channel 😆
There are many different packages offered— the one we chose included the 1 min teaser, 10 minute highlight, and a 2 hour documentary of all speeches, ceremony & reception! Again, I can honestly say it is worth millions to us!
Thank you Heartbeat Films for doing what you do! It helps us to relive one of the most special days of our lives. 💕
Love Brooke, Thomas & Abbi Adele Moore
Heartbeat Films has it all. They are professional yet laid back and great to work with. Ryan took the time to get to know us as a couple taking note of every detail that we desired...
in a film. I watched wedding film after wedding film from other videographers with no excitement or reaction. The minute I saw one of Heartbeat Film’s videos I cried...that’s the reaction I wanted for my own video and that’s exactly what I got!! Their talent is rare in this industry!
Heartbeat Films was sooo great to work with! We were beyond pleased with our video. I’m pretty sure we watched it over 10 times the day we got it. They were very professional and f...

r. HANDS DOWN THE BEST!
Heartbeat Films was one of the best wedding decisions I've made! I first saw their work when they did a video of a couple from my very small town. I was so impressed with their wor...
k and decided to take the leap as my videographers! Not only are they amazing filmmakers, but Ryan is so easygoing and great to work with. Brides, if you were wondering whether or not to have your rehearsal dinner filmed, DO IT! I was so nervous some of my guests may not speak because of the cameras from the video crew, but most of the guests told me they didn't even notice they were there! And now I have this special night on film that I can cherish forever. I also loved how they incorporated the speeches into the highlight film. The highlight film was finished in about 2 weeks and was better than I imagined. I really can't recommend them enough!!
I first heard of Heartbeat Films when my friend used them for her wedding. Her video came in almost immediately, and I watched it at least 3 times back to back when she posted it. ...
After looking at minimally 20 other companies- I realized no one else compared in both quality and price. Ryan was so great to work with. He was very both organized and easy going. He is very open to collaborating. One of the best qualities of Heartbeat Films is that you never felt like you were being filmed. One of my family members even mentioned "I never knew who your videographer was." They were always there but at a comfortable distance so no one ever felt intruded upon. Everything felt very natural. The turn around time on the videos were incredible- in 2 weeks it was complete. We love our highlight trailer and I say this as someone who hates seeing themselves on camera. It perfectly captured the night! I can't recommend them enough.
These are great people to work with! They captured every wonderful moment from our wedding!

s and he got so many details that every time I re-watch our wedding I feel like I'm getting married all over again! He not only captured our special day but got the guests as well and it's fun to see how they were enjoying our day. We couldn't be everywhere at once during our wedding but he captured moments we wouldn't have gotten to be a part of without his video! Thanks so much Heartbeat Films for such a special gift!
I had a fairly big wedding in Manhattan and Ryan and Brittany captured it more beautifully than I even imagined. Their footage was fantastic, thoughtful, and beautifully artistic. ...
Not only was the finished product amazing, but throughout the day they both managed to document every little thing, without ever being intrusive or pushy. They are a wonderful team, total professionals, and will get you footage you will love!
Hands down best experience ever with Heartbeat. Everything went very smoothly. He contacted me several times before my wedding to make sure all my questions were answered. He arriv...
ed on time and didn’t complain once about filming in 100 degree weather! He traveled out of town for our special day. Our video came out great and looks very professional. We would highly recommend.
Hiring Ryan with Heartbeat Films was the best decision! They were so friendly and professional. Our wedding video came out better than we could have ever imagined and in good time ...
as well! So thankful for them to capture our wedding day!
Your wedding day is one you will always want to remember and try to relive. Every time I watch my video I think “wow, this video could not have been better.” Heartbeat films gave m...
e the best videos I could have ever asked for. The sound and quality of my videos are amazing. I’ve heard of people waiting a year and having to figure out songs to have for their video but Ryan made the process for me so fast and easy. Within a few weeks I had my videos and he chose way better music for the video than i ever could have chosen. He let me proof everything before I gave the final okay and touched base with me to make sure I was happy and was willing to change anything I wanted. His crew was on time and very professional. I’ve never heard of someone regretting having a video of their wedding but I have heard of plenty who skimped out to save money. Heartbeat films has amazing quality and they were so affordable! Trust me, I was on a budget! I recommend them to everyone!
I cannot say enough good things about Ryan! I loved everything about my wedding video that he created. He captured every moment so perfectly and was so easy to work with. My expect...
ations were far exceeded. Highly highly recommend!
