We're Kevin
& Haley

Haley signed up for a college documentary class thinking it would be an easy A. She met Kevin, fell for filmmaking (and for him), and we've been making wedding films together ever since. Here's exactly who you're getting.

SC.02 · INT. SIX MONTHS LATER · THE QUIET MOMENTS

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.

TWO BEHIND THE CAMERAS, ONE IN THE EDIT BAY

Kevin, co-founder and lead filmmaker at Heartline Films

Co-founder & Lead Filmmaker

Hey there, I'm Kevin

I've been filming weddings since 2007. Before that came film school, live TV, a marketing agency, and a stretch doing marketing for a laser tag facility. All of it turns out to be useful on a wedding day.

On your wedding day, I'm the quiet one. I won't bark directions or make things feel like a production set. I studied psychology, and it shows up in the footage: I notice what's about to happen before it happens, so the camera is already there when it does.

A few of my favorite things

  • Board games, TCGs, and designing games
  • How places shape the way people feel
  • Synthwave and the analog era
Haley, co-founder and creative director at Heartline Films

Co-founder & Creative Director

And I'm Haley

Yes, I'm the one from the documentary class. The easy A didn't quite pan out, but I left with a career and a husband, 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
Igor, lead editor at Heartline Films

Lead Editor

And I'm Igor

I've always loved that video can hold onto a real emotion instead of just describing it. That's what pulled me into wedding filmmaking, and it's where I found my place in the edit bay.

I spend more time with your footage than anyone. A wedding day comes back as hours of raw takes, and my job is to find the small things buried in there: the look, the laugh, the half-second nobody noticed happening. Then I put it together so you can live the day again years from now.

When I'm not in the edit bay

  • Bike rides with no particular turnaround point
  • Hiking, especially in the mountains
  • Slowing down somewhere I've never been

Why couples love
working with us

THE STUFF THAT NEVER MAKES THE HIGHLIGHT FILM

Full Service Support

We'll keep your timeline on track, get you water, fix your veil, and wrangle your wedding party. If it needs doing, we're on it.

Coverage That Reaches

On The Feature and The Director's Cut we're there from getting ready to the last dance, with no clock on it. The Short is six hours you place where you want them. If that stops short of your exit, you'll know in planning.

Every Love Story Matters

We've filmed 250+ weddings: traditional, non-traditional, elopements, backyard celebrations. If it matters to you, it matters to us.

LGBTQ+ Celebrated

We've filmed weddings of all kinds. Your love is your love, and we're here for all of it.

Frequently asked
questions

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!

The Director's Cut includes two filmmakers. The Feature includes one.

Yes! Drone footage is included in The Director's Cut. We're fully licensed and insured for drone operations, weather permitting.

Highlight films are typically delivered within 14–16 weeks after your wedding date. Ceremony and speeches edits follow shortly after.

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.

Yes. We travel throughout North Carolina and beyond. Travel is free anywhere in the state, with two exceptions: the Outer Banks, and the mountains from Boone west. Those get a flat travel quote you see before you book.

The Short ($2,950) is six hours with one filmmaker and a 3–4 minute highlight film. The Feature ($4,400) covers your full day with a longer highlight film and the whole ceremony as its own video. The Director's Cut ($6,500) brings both of us, drone footage, a speeches and toasts edit, and real Super 8mm film. You can load more film from there.

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, films start at $2,950 and we offer monthly payment plans.

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.

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.
