Kevin and Haley, wedding videographers and founders of Heartline Films

WE'RE KEVIN & HALEY

One of us reads the room. The other runs it.

WHY HEARTLINE FILMS?

You'll remember the big moments — the kiss, the first dance, the exit. But the quiet ones slip away first. The look on your mom's face when she zipped your dress. The way your partner laughed during the toast nobody expected. The two of you, alone for thirty seconds between the ceremony and the reception, just breathing.

We hold onto those for you.

MEET YOUR FILMMAKERS

Because we believe you should know exactly who's showing up on your wedding day

HEY THERE, I'M KEVIN

I've been filming weddings since 2007. I also went to film school, worked in live TV, spent time at a marketing agency, and did marketing and advertising for a laser tag facility. Wedding filmmaking pulls from all of it — technical chops, creative taste, and the ability to read a room full of people in real time.

On your wedding day, I'm the quiet one. I'm not going to bark directions or make things feel like a production set. I have a background in psychology, which shows up in how I read people and anticipate moments — I notice what's about to happen before it happens.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:

  • Board games, TCGs, and designing games
  • How places shape the way people feel
  • Synthwave and the analog era

AND I'M HALEY

I signed up for a college documentary class thinking it would be an easy A. Instead, I met Kevin, fell in love with filmmaking (and him), and we've been building Heartline together for over a decade.

On your wedding day, I'm the outgoing one. I'll introduce us, keep the timeline on track, make sure your rings get back where they belong after detail shots, and I'll probably bring you water to keep you hydrated too. Couples tell us I do a lot of things that aren't technically my job, and I take that as a compliment.

WHAT MAKES ME TICK:

  • Beach days and shark teeth hunting
  • Golden hour and good sunsets
  • Watercolor painting and the right playlist

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 12-18 months in advance for prime wedding dates, especially during peak season (May-October). However, we occasionally have last-minute availability, so it never hurts to check!

How many videographers will be at our wedding?

Our Enchanted and Fairytale packages include two videographers to ensure comprehensive coverage. The Storybook package includes one videographer.

Do you use drones?

Yes! Weather permitting, we include drone footage in both our Enchanted and Fairytale packages. We're fully licensed and insured for drone operations.

How long until we receive our films?

Highlight films are typically delivered within 14-16 weeks after your wedding date. Documentary films and other deliverables follow shortly after.

What areas do you serve?

We're based in Wilmington, NC and regularly film weddings at venues in Wrightsville Beach, Figure Eight Island, Carolina Beach, Bald Head Island, Southport, and Topsail Island. We also travel to Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and destination weddings beyond North Carolina.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely. We travel throughout North Carolina and beyond. Weddings within 100 miles of Wilmington have no travel fee. For destinations further out, we just ask that travel expenses are covered.

What's the difference between a highlight film and a documentary?

A highlight film is a 5-8 minute cinematic edit set to music — the one you'll share with friends and family and rewatch on anniversaries. A documentary film is 30+ minutes and includes your full ceremony, complete speeches, and other key moments in real time. Most couples who get both say the documentary is what they reach for most.

Do we need both photos and video?

Photos capture how everything looked. Video captures how everything felt — the laughter, the voice cracks, the music, the tears. They're different things entirely, and most couples who skip video say it's their biggest regret. If budget is a concern, our Storybook package starts at $2,895 and we offer monthly payment plans.

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

Some of our favorite footage has come from rainy weddings. Rain adds atmosphere — moody skies, the sound of drops on a tent, umbrellas, puddle reflections. We come prepared with weather-sealed gear and years of experience shooting coastal NC weddings in every condition.

Can we choose the music for our highlight film?

We love when couples have songs that are meaningful to them. We'll work with you to select music that fits the mood and emotion of your day. We use a licensed music library to ensure your film can be shared freely online without copyright issues.
