I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

“Fourth Photography, LLC was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. From the start, he was assertive in his communication, proactively reaching out to understand our vision and needs. On the day of the wedding, our special moments were captured delivering photos that are truly beautiful and will allow us to cherish our day forever. The quality of the work was exceptional, and we feel we received excellent value for the investment. We highly recommend Fourth Photography, LLC to any couple planning their wedding.”

Hi! This is Andi, a videographer who, after 7 years of making news documentaries and nonprofit videos for social causes, decided to step into wedding films. My documentary works have won the Telly Awards, New York Festivals Gold Awards, and a NY Emmy. Currently serving couples in the Washington D.C. metro area and beyond. You can find pricing and package info on my website.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer for our wedding! From start to finish, Andi was professional, dedicated, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring that our special day was captured beautifully. Right after we signed the contract, she sent us a detailed questionnaire to get to know us as a couple—our story, our style, and the specific moments we wanted to highlight. This level of preparation reassured us that she truly cared about making the video personal and meaningful. About a month before the wedding, she proactively reached out to request the venue’s floor plan, demonstrating her commitment to planning ahead and making sure every shot was perfectly thought out. On the wedding day, Andi arrived an hour early to get familiar with the space and even took some breathtaking outdoor shots before the festivities began. Her presence was so natural and unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the day while she captured everything seamlessly. Throughout the event, she worked tirelessly to document not just the big moments but also the little details and emotions that made our wedding unique. One of the things that makes Andi truly stand out is her background as a former reporter and documentary filmmaker. Her storytelling skills are evident in every frame—she has a keen eye for capturing genuine emotions and weaving them together into a narrative that feels raw, real, and deeply personal. She didn’t just record our wedding; she told our story in the most beautiful and authentic way. When we received our wedding video, we were absolutely blown away. It was beyond anything we could have imagined—every moment was beautifully filmed and edited, creating a cinematic and heartfelt masterpiece that we will cherish forever. What truly stood out was Andi’s creative touch—she included interesting and unexpected moments that showcased her artistic eye and deep understanding of human connection. Most importantly, the video felt authentically us—it captured the emotions, the joy, and the essence of our relationship perfectly. We are beyond grateful for Andi’s work, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and passionate wedding videographer. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will go above and beyond to create a stunning wedding film, Andi is the one to choose!”

The day of they were the PERFECT chill (but organized) presence we needed, they were there for every second and caught every moment perfectly.

Granger Creative is a full-service production company specializing in weddings/couples and branding. I’ve been working in the film + media industry for 5+ years and have loved every minute of it! I believe that there’s as much meaning and beauty in the subtle and intimate as there is in the grand and exciting. The films I create tend to be nostalgic and cinematic mixed with a documentary approach. My hope is that we can be a team, bringing your memories and emotions to life. Let’s create something together!

“Working with Michelle at Granger Creative felt natural and like it was "meant to be." We chatted before the wedding day to make sure we both felt confident with the day-of timeline, and on the wedding day our couple commented that we must have known each other from before! Perhaps we got along so well because we're both mid-westerners? Or maybe it's just because creatives that love what they do are always an easy match. Either way, I loved working with this gal, and you will too!”

Every couple is different and we strive to create something with you that truly reflects that. From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor. We offer both Super 8 film and camcorder-style footage in addition to our standard 4K delivery. <3

“My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;). I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate. Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that! She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade. I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!”
