Documentary Wedding Films
Real, natural, and unforgettable. A full-length wedding film so you can relive everything — not just the highlights.
What We Do
Most wedding videos are pricey because editors spend 30+ hours crafting cinematic trailers. Our films are intentionally simple — so you save money and keep every memory intact.

Your Estimate
Only 25% ($300) required to book — the rest is due on your wedding day.
Traditional cinematic edits require 30+ hours of post-production. By focusing on clean, seamless documentary coverage instead, we pass those savings directly to you — while you keep every meaningful moment.
Meet The Founder
I've been filming weddings professionally for over five years. But I'm not just a wedding filmmaker — I'm a husband and a dad.
As a married man, I know how fast the day moves. How many moments you miss because you're pulled in a hundred different directions. And now, having a daughter, I think even more about the value of preserving real memories.
After years of filming weddings, I noticed a problem. Most couples were paying for expensive highlight reels they didn't truly want — and missing out on so many genuine, meaningful moments from their day.
So I created a better option. Today, I oversee every HomeVideo production as producer — ensuring our associates deliver the same standard I've built my name on.
What Couples Say
Dozens of reviews on Google
"We watched our full wedding video three times the week we got it back. Every speech, every dance — we didn't miss a single thing."
"Maxwell was invisible the whole day. We completely forgot he was there — and then we got back this beautiful, real film of everything."
"I was skeptical about skipping the cinematic edit, but watching the full video was so much more emotional. You hear everyone's real voice, their actual words."
"The pricing made it possible for us to have a professional videographer at all. We are so grateful — we would have regretted not having this."
"My dad cried watching the father-daughter dance back. The whole speech. Every word. That's something a highlight reel never would have given us."
Common Questions
Your wedding will be filmed by one of our trained associate videographers — not Maxwell personally. Every associate is hand-selected and trained to shoot in the HomeVideo documentary style, whether your wedding is in Cincinnati or across the country. Maxwell oversees all productions as the producer, ensuring consistent quality regardless of who is behind the camera.
Your film is shot on professional 4K cameras with pro audio gear — the same equipment used in high-end wedding videography. The difference is in the editing approach, not the capture quality. You're getting premium footage, just without the intensive cinematic post-production.
We're based in Cincinnati but work nationwide through our network of vetted local shooters. All videographers operate under Maxwell's producer oversight, so quality remains consistent wherever your wedding takes place.
You receive a single, seamless full-length 4K film of your wedding day — delivered online in a shareable format. This includes every major event: getting ready moments, ceremony, cocktail hour, toasts, first dances, and reception highlights.
HomeVideo Weddings is focused exclusively on the full-length documentary format. If you're looking for a cinematic highlight film, Maxwell Faust Productions offers that service at a higher investment level.
Yes — professional audio recording is included in every package. We use wireless microphones on your officiant and groom to capture vows clearly, and position additional mics for speeches and toasts.
Only 25% is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due on your wedding day. No hidden fees — what you see in our pricing is exactly what you pay.
Your film is delivered via a private online link — easy to download, stream, and share with family and friends. You'll receive a notification when it's ready.
Raw footage is not included by default, but reach out and we can discuss options if this is something you're interested in.
