What TM Weddings is

TM Weddings is a wedding photo and video brand based in the Lehigh Valley, and we cover weddings all over Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. My wife Brynn and I started it together, and it's been a huge success for us, growing from the two of us into a team of 15+ photographers, filmmakers and editors with more than 300 clients behind it.

We've got a 5.0 on Google from 60+ reviews, which is the number I'm proudest of, because every one of those came from a real couple after their real wedding day. Weddings also taught us most of what we know about covering a live event, since nobody's going to redo the first kiss for you.

The team

The film at the top of this page is the team in their own words, and these are some of the faces behind the cameras and the edits, from the team photo day we shot for the brand.

Everything we've produced for the brand

It's our own brand, so we make all of it ourselves. That covers the photography, the wedding films and trailers on the TM Weddings YouTube channel, the team film and team photos on this page, a styled shoot at Terrain Events with Ms. New York International, The Capturing Your Love Show, a $10,000 game show and the tmweddings.com website.

The Capturing Your Love Show

The Capturing Your Love Show is our long-form show on YouTube, and it's honestly one of my favorite things we've ever made. Couples we've filmed come back and sit down to talk about what marriage is actually like, from dating your spouse to parenting, commitment, communication and why love gets hard, and there are 11 episodes up so far.

The $10,000 giveaway

Then we did something a little crazy and gave away $10,000 in wedding photo and video on a game show we produced ourselves. We called it Win the Wedding, and we brought in four couples, three judges, a host and a DJ. Couples danced for the judges, answered questions about each other on whiteboards and threw a bouquet blindfolded, and it came down to two couples racing through a wedding cake face first before one of them walked away with the check.

It's the most fun we've ever had making something, and the whole show is right here.

Win the Wedding, our first $10,000 giveaway. 18 minutes 54 seconds.
