THE

EXPERIENCE

COPTIC

قِبْطيّ

Every wedding carries its own rhythm—its own reverence.

But a Coptic Orthodox wedding, with its sacred rites and generational meaning, is something I find truly profound.

This sampling represents some of the recent weddings I’ve had the honor of filming—where faith, family, and cinematic beauty come together. From the incense rising to the echo of zaghareet in celebration, each moment is captured with care.

If you're planning your wedding and searching for a filmmaker who understands the symbols, the beauty, and the joy that define your day, you’re in the right place.

Tailored Storytelling             

for the Coptic Bride & Groom

The films I craft begin with two shared threads: trust and faith.

My clients value the way I see the world, and they invite me not just to document, but to interpret—to create a cinematic heirloom that reflects the feeling of their day.

For Coptic couples, that often means understanding the rhythm of the liturgy, the quiet moments of anointing, the tying of the rings, the placing of robes, the pause as parents sign the marriage license and, of course, the crowns.

I approach each wedding with a reverence for these rituals and a bespoke process that places your story at the center.

Filmmaking with intention, artistry, and soul.

“Elmwood is amazing! Not only are they there with you through the entire day but their work is so cinematic and they capture the smallest but most beautiful details that are so precious. We had a traditional Coptic egyptian wedding and they were so excited to embrace our culture. Overall just a great experience, this is a vendor that truly cares about the bride and groom. Thank you guys so so much.”

FAQ

  • From the start, this is a bespoke experience—one rooted in listening closely to the details that make your story yours.

    To that end, I meet with each couple—sometimes more than once, both before and after booking—to explore the creative elements, the tone, and the moments they want most reflected.

    These conversations are an essential part of my process, and they’ve shaped some of the most meaningful films I’ve had the privilege to create.

  • I’m based in Florida, and I work with couples throughout the continental U.S. Travel is already included in my pricing, so no matter where your wedding takes place, the rate remains the same.

  • That’s absolutely fine. Many couples reach out with a general timeframe in mind, and I’m happy to begin the conversation early.

    While I typically recommend securing your venue before confirming your film coverage, I always encourage a call before any commitments are made. This gives us a chance to connect, explore your vision, and see if what I offer resonates with the experience you’re hoping for.

  • I do! I frequently travel internationally to film (Cyprus, Portugal, Ireland, & Austria, to name a recent few) and am well accustomed to the process of producing films abroad.

    If you’re headed to Cairo or Sharm El-Sheikh, I have a special surprise for you!

  • I absolutely do and I take a great deal of joy in making them! I will happily & readily share samples upon request.

  • I do not. The difficult non-latin language I put all my chips into trying to learn is Russian (which I only know a few phrases in).
