Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Every wedding has a story behind it, to it and about it. Through beautiful imagery and sound, we tell that story. We create wedding films that hold up to decades and the passage of time. Best of all, we do it like ninjas.

As wedding videographers, we take part in what is likely the happiest day in a couples life and then produce videos that celebrate and preserve that day for years to come. We capture the details, nuances, and feelings of the wedding that can all too easily be forgotten. Some call us videographers, others cinematographers, but my favorite is storytellers. There are many companies out there who can create pretty images, yet quite frankly, using dialogue from the wedding day to make something personalized is really what makes us stand out.

I strive to give each couple's big day a cinematic feel. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or extravagant reception, we will make sure your emotions shine in each moment. Filmmaking has always been a passion of mine. It’s the one area where things seemed to have come natural for me. From an early age I always enjoyed playing with a video camera. ​I was first offered to film a wedding for a friend back in 2016 and instantly clicked with it. What to capture and how to capture it fell into place neatly. All the years behind a lens helped me quickly find my creative edge.
