We couldn’t have picked a better videographer for our wedding. We found Wedding Films Co online and instantly loved how real and emotional their videos felt. Dugan filmed our day, ...
and he was awesome—so chill, fun to be around, and somehow caught everything without ever being in the way. The video is only six minutes, but it’s perfect. It captures our vows, the goofy moments, and the crazy dance floor energy, all set to music that feels totally us. We’ve watched it a dozen times already! Dugan was super responsive and had everything ready in about three weeks. He honestly felt more like a friend than a vendor. If you want a wedding video that feels genuine and personal, go with Wedding Films Co. Five stars, hands down!

We truly cannot recommend him enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely amazing to work with and made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. He was professio...
nal, kind, and great at what he does, and we are so happy we chose him to capture our wedding day. We got our wedding video back in just over a month, which was such a wonderful surprise, and when we watched it, it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The video turned out absolutely perfect and captured the day so beautifully.
He went above and beyond to make sure all of our special moments were captured, from the big, meaningful moments to the little details that made our day so special. Watching our video allowed us to relive our wedding day all over again, and we are so grateful to have those memories preserved in such a beautiful way. There are so many moments throughout the day that go by in a blur, so being able to look back and see everything we may have missed means so much to us. You can truly tell how much care and effort he put into creating our video, and we couldn't be happier with the final result.
Choosing someone to capture one of the most important days of your life is a big decision, and we are so thankful we trusted him with ours. He exceeded all of our expectations, and we will treasure our wedding video for years to come. If you are looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely great videographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special day, we highly recommend him! We are beyond grateful for everything he did to make sure we have these memories to look back on forever!
Omg where do we begin? Dugan was so incredible to work with on our wedding day but even well before! We had originally planned to get married last September (2025) but we ended up ...
postponing to now April (2026). And Dugan was there for us through it all! He helped set up a couple meetings with us both in person and over video in order to get everything talked about and planned out, and would be very open and fast responding with texting back and forth over the course of the planning process. Very attentive. I could really tell how important his job is to him which is always reassuring!
For the day of, him and his team were OUTSTANDING! I’m not even over exaggerating. We had two photographers and two videographers (which might seem excessive to others) but it was very important to me as the bride to have every moment captured all at once from everyone’s perspectives, it was very much worth it. I wouldn’t change a thing. We already got back all of our final photos and our videos as well! (Only 2 weeks later! 🤯) Such a wholesome feeling, I felt like I was reliving our wedding day and I couldn’t help but cry multiple times while watching our highlight video. It was perfectly made, I can’t wait to watch it every year on our anniversary or later on with our kids.
Thank you again so very much Dugan, Audrey, Rudy, and Tyler!! You guys are amazing :)
I loved our wedding video so much! Dugan captured every special detail—the tender glances, the meaningful vows, and all the joyful tears—exactly as I hoped. He edited it all togeth...
er and set it to the most perfect music, making our day feel magical and timeless every time we watch. Thank you, Dugan!
We just finished watching our wedding video for the third time in a row (with tissues nearby), and we honestly don’t have enough words to describe how perfect it is. From the very ...
first frame, you captured the magic of our day in a way we never could have imagined. The way you edited the morning getting ready moments made us laugh and cry all over again my husband actually teared up watching me read his letter for the first time. The ceremony footage gave us chills; you somehow managed to catch every emotional glance, every quiet tear, and that perfect moment when we said “I do.” The drone shots of the venue at golden hour were absolutely stunning and made our outdoor ceremony look like something out of a fairytale. What we loved most was how you told our story. You didn’t just film a wedding you captured the love, the laughter, the little in-between moments that made the day uniquely ours. The way you wove in our first dance, the heartfelt toasts, and even the silly dance floor chaos at the reception felt so natural and beautiful. Every transition, every song choice, and every slow-motion clip was timed perfectly. It felt cinematic, emotional, and deeply personal all at once. We’ve already shown it to our parents and close family, and they were speechless. My mom said it was “better than any movie she’s ever seen,” and she’s not one to exaggerate. Watching it brought us right back to the best day of our lives, and we know we’ll be watching this for decades to come on anniversaries, when we need a reminder of why we fell in love, and someday with our future kids. Thank you for your incredible talent, your calm presence on the day, and for turning our memories into something we can cherish forever. You truly are an artist. We couldn’t recommend you more highly to any couple looking for someone who will capture their love story with heart and excellence. We’ll be forever grateful,
Emily & Michael
I always knew I wanted a videographer to capture my wedding day, but I never anticipated how priceless it truly would be. Dugan at Wedding Films Co made this a reality for me. Watc...
hing my wedding day back again allowed me to see all the details you cannot experience as the bride and groom. He captured the essence of the day with ease and displayed it so magically, it takes you right back. I will cherish the videos of that day forever thanks to his craftsmanship and creative eye. He was a joy to work with, bringing an unmatched level of expertise that makes the whole experience so effortless. Of all the things you can choose to spend money on for your wedding, I would highly recommend you trust Wedding Films Co and Dugan. You'll be so glad you did!
Wedding Films CO was amazing every step of the way. The turnaround time was incredibly fast, and the video was professional and beautiful. I had a few stylistic requests that Duga...
n was able to incorporate into the final product, really capturing the essence of our special day. We are so happy with the final result, our family + friends all love it too!
We absolutely loved our wedding highlight video, thank you Dugan! We had the best time reliving our special day watching it and it brought tears to our eyes thinking about sharing ...
this with our kids one day. Dugan was a pleasure to work with - he was willing to meet with us in person so we had the chance to get to know him more before our big day. He was communicative, professional, and captured our day beautifully. Thank you, Dugan! Highly recommend!
Dugan and his crew were absolute rockstars on our wedding day! I'll be honest, we were a tad worried about finding a photographer, especially at the last minute, in a completely di...
fferent state. It was nerve-wracking, but as soon as we spoke with Dugan, we knew he was the right fit.
Being a fellow photographer who's worked countless weddings attended multiple trade schools for photography, and has a bachelors degree in graphic design, I of course have high standards. Dugan and his team surpassed them all.
They were up for the challenge of off-roading up Pikes Peak Mountain for our special day and the results were mind-blowing. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we're so grateful we chose him to capture our special day. Dugan truly nailed it!
Our videographer friend canceled on us last minute for our wedding, and we are so incredibly thankful that we were able to find Dugan.
The booking process was very easy and he re...
sponded quickly with any questions or concerns we had. He communicated well with both us and our wedding planner.
The day of the wedding, he was incredibly professional and friendly with us, our family, guests, planners, other vendors etc. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work and he was able to loosely direct and capture certain shots, but did so in a manner that was natural and fun.
And our videos?!! We couldn't be happier. He was truly able to capture the best day our lives. We were floored at the quality of the Highlight video especially. The video captured how in love we are with each other and how much of a blast we and our guests had at the reception. We will be watching this over and over again.
Can we give 10 stars???!
I don’t even know where to begin. Dugan was super professional, kind, and attentive to what I wanted on my wedding day. It’s been 6 months since my wedding day and I am horrible at...
reviews. I wanted to let you know how amazing Dugan is because I have watched my highlight video at least once a month (multiple times certain months) and every single time I am brought back to that magnificent day. He captured the day perfectly. It was an amazing combination of sentimental and joy that I am so thankful for. Trust me when I say, GET THE VIDEO! It is soooo worth it and I would do it over and over again! Thank you for letting me relive this day whenever I want. My words can’t describe my gratitude.
Wedding Films CO absolutely nailed our wedding film. I watch friend's wedding videos an embarrassing amount so pressure was on to find the perfect videographer for my wedding. Duga...
n crushed it. I love how he perfectly captured every aspect of our (two day) wedding and the video is something we will have and watch for the rest of our lives. He also did the photo booth which made our wedding so much fun. The video is so professional and set to fun music and couldn't have captured our day better. Look no further - Wedding Films CO is it!
Dugan was absolutely phenomenal to work with!! He made sure to thoroughly understand what my husband and I wanted in our wedding film before the big day. On the big day he showed e...

He worked beautifully with our photographer and the end result was AMAZING! He is an artist!! We were blown away with how he captured our wedding day so beautifully and authentically. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts, Dugan! We 10/10 recommend Wedding Films CO to ANY couple looking for THE BEST videographer they can possibly find! His prices are great too!

fectly. The highlight video caught every aspect of the wedding that was special to us. Could not recommend or emphasize his company more. Thanks so much!
Dugan was absolutely fabulous! He really captured our wedding beautifully. Everyone is obsessed with the video and said that it makes them feel like they were part of our big day. ...
We are so grateful to have this incredible footage! Would recommend him for the photobooth as well! It was such a fun time and the pictures turned out awesome.
Not only did we have fun with Dugan, but the end result was better than we could have imagined. Our friends and family are also in awe of the video and we could not be happier. Add...

nds. They made you feel relaxed, and they listened to what we wanted. From start to finish it was a great experience and a wonderful result. We received amazing images and a video to re live the joy we experienced on our wedding. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them!
Where do I even start! Dugan was incredible to work with! He is so kind and genuine.Throughout the whole planning process he was always so helpful, gave great advice when we were u...
nsure about certain things and had great communication with us. He made everything so easy! On the day of our wedding Dugan and his assistant were right on time and went straight to work. They captured every moment perfectly and the attention to detail was amazing. Both my photographer and Dugan worked so well with each other, they both made sure each got all the shots they needed. We got our highlight video, ceremony and speeches videos about 3 weeks after our wedding which is super fast & impressive! Our highlight video is our favorite, again Dugan and his assistant captured every moment so beautifully. I was at a loss of words the first time I watched it! It was so amazing. The editing is incredible and the flow of the video is perfect. Everyone tells you the day goes by soooo fast but now with these videos we will have those memories forever and be able to relive that day every time we watch it. Everyone that has seen our video so far is so impressed by Dugan’s work that they wish they could have had something like that for there wedding! I definitely recommend having a videographer for your wedding as they will professionally capture every moment of your day! We are so lucky and grateful we got to work with Dugan and will definitely be recommending him to family and friends! Dugan thank you for everything and thank you for helping make our wedding day perfect!
Wedding Films CO is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about Dugan, I'm so glad we picked him. He was so easy and professional to work with, tag teamed with our photographer ...
perfectly, and gave us fun and clear instructions on what to do for all of the shots so we never felt awkward. The videos we will be able to cherish forever and share with some very special people that weren't able to attend! If you need a videographer look no further, Wedding Films CO is THE best option!
Dugan did our videography for our wedding and he was AMAZING! He arrived at our venue very early and got all the detail shots before the fun stuff started. He was so detail oriente...
d and got beautiful shots of all the little things. We purchased the raw footage as well, and it was so cool to see all the little things he thought of to capture! He didn't miss anything! Dugan made us feel so comfortable while getting the wedding content and got all the important things as well. The wedding video itself was so well done, we couldn't have asked for better! We are so glad we forever have a beautiful video of our perfect day. The ceremony and speaches turned out perfect as well, and the quality is amazing. The day of your wedding can be crazy with so many people and vendors running around and setting up, but Dugan fit in perfectly and made the whole process so stress free! We HIGHLY recommend Dugan and his team!
These guys were INCREDIBLE! I have watched my video 1,000 times and each time it makes me cry. The amount of detail and beauty in each clip is breathtaking. We were beyond impresse...
d! Not only that but Dugan is so sweet and kind, he was comfortable the entire time and really held himself to a high standard. I wish I could hire him for every single special occasion that pops up in my life. 5 stars all the way, no complaints, just pure happiness!

product. He did our wedding video and it came out amazing!! He captured everything that was important to us. Thank you Dugan. He also has a pretty cool photo booth that was a hit with our wedding guests. We captured a lot of great memories from our guests that night
Dugan was an absolute treasure to work with - from the beginning he was responsive to all of my questions and emails (sorry there were quite a few haha!), courteous, professional, ...
and friendly. My husband and I were so glad to work with him, and he made us a beautiful wedding video that we will watch for the rest of our lives! It really brings you back to the magic of the day, and all the fun you're going to have. If you're thinking about hiring a videographer - do it! Hire Dugan. You won't be disappointed!
Dugan is, without a doubt, the best in the industry. I can't say enough great things about him, his personality, his vision and his dedication to this profession.
From start to f...
inish, Dugan was quick to respond, very detailed and organized. Our wedding plans were unique and nontraditional, which meant we didn't need the "standard package" every other videographer was offering. Dugan was the only one who would work with us on a custom quote to be exactly what we needed for our day. He put a lot of time and effort into preparing for our event (honestly, more than we did, so we really needed his guidance). He made sure everything was covered on his end and went way above and beyond to ensure we had the best shots.
He turned our video around quicker than the time frame he originally quoted us. When we got our video, we both cried, and then watched it 50 more times in the same week. Even months after watching it several times a week, I get the same excited feeling I got when watching it for the first time. We couldn't believe how incredible it turned out and how much we were able to relive our day. He captured our exact personalities and relationship in a 5 minute highlight video that we'll have forever. I would have paid triple after seeing how it turned out. He made our video unique to us and not a basic format you see everywhere else. He has an eye for getting the best shots and his editing skills are outstanding. We will always and forever use Dugan for any video needs, and I promise you cannot go wrong with hiring him.

He did a great job instructing us for specific shots while also getting a ton of candid shots, details shots, and capturing all of our important attendees.

We got our photobooth through Dugan as well. We loved that it had an option for printed photos, emailing them, and little videos. Our guests loved the booth and all of the props.
Thank you for everything!!
We had a small ceremony, but with Dugan’s incredible work, I’ll be able to share that special day with all of my friends and family! Thank you Dugan!
We weren't planning on having a videographer at our wedding, but when COVID-19 forced us into an elopement we knew we had to have video footage that we could share with all of our ...
friends and family who would no longer be traveling to witness and celebrate our marriage. Our photographer recommended Dugan and we are so happy she did.
Dugan and Taylor, shot fantastic video of our hike to the ceremony spot, the vow exchange, and the amazing mountain scenery. The final result was more than I could have ever hoped for. They provided us with two highlight videos and an uncut video of our vow exchange. We were able to share the links to all three videos which triggered a flood of emails that were filled with comments about how amazing the videos were and what a wonderful keepsake they'll be far into the future.
We had a blast with Dugan and Taylor on our hike up and down. They made the whole day super easy, it was laid back and fun. I'm so glad we went through with video, it was one thing brides said they regretted not doing and I understand why now, it's an amazing thing to have at the end of the day. Would recommend videography, specifically through Dugan to any bride.
I hired Dugan about days before I needed him to do our wedding in Denver. He not only took the job but was incredibly professional and kind thru the entire process. He came as a l...
ead from a dear friend and I was told he would be just what he was and that is incredibly good at photography and in delivering all my pictures edited and on time as expected.
Id recommend this guy to work on any project from weddings to special parties. I hope to use him again in the near future. His also very nice.
Sincerely,
Richie

Dugan really listened to me about what was most important and we are FLOORED by the wonderful quality and how well he captured our personalities. I’ve watched my highlights video a million times already. The ceremony and speeches video are also perfect. Dugan also offered a photo booth add-on for the reception. My guests had a ball with all the accessories and we got some hilarious photos. I hope you will consider using Dugan McCarty and Winterlust Photography to capture your special day. Memories for a lifetime. Thank you!!!!
Working with Dugan was so easy and amazing! We love our videos from our wedding and can't stop watching them. Couldn't recommend him enough!
We hired Dugan for our wedding elopement. He was very pleasant to work with and skilled. Our video was great!
Dugan is Avery talented artist. He has so many skills. Video is just part of his skill set. I predict he will go far in his career.
Winterlust brought a photobooth to our wedding. It was a big hit with everyone. Big Thanks
