Essential Wedding Films | New Orleans Wedding Videographer

About

Hi, my name is Brian Conner, and I'm a wedding videographer based in Mandeville, Louisiana. I have a beautiful wife, Emily, and an amazing little girl, Caia. I've had the privilege of filming over 100 weddings throughout the Greater New Orleans area, Baton Rouge, Texas, and the entire Gulf Coast.

At Essential Wedding Films, we believe that wedding films should be authentic and come about organically. The wedding day is about you two as a couple, and not about us as videographers. Our job is to capture your day to the best of our ability, while also operating with a “fly on the wall” mentality. When you watch your wedding film, We want you to see shots you didn't know we were getting.

We always strive to make the day as easy as possible for every couple. When you book with us, you get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the greatest day of your life with the one you love the most!

I used Essential Wedding Films for my wedding and they captured our day PERFECTLY! They were so kind and easy to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone!

We used Essential Wedding Films for our wedding and we could not be more pleased! They were kind, easy to get in touch with, and made us feel so comfortable. They put together a beautiful highlight video that captured our day perfectly. I would 100% recommend Essential Wedding Films to anyone that asked!

Makenna A.

I was very hesitant about having a videographer for our wedding. It was actually the last vendor I booked a month before the wedding! When I spoke through my reservations, they were so professional and made me feel so confident about having them there! They captured everything so perfectly and were so easy to work with! The video is one of my favorite keepsakes from the wedding and I am so thankful I went through with booking them!

Jourdan S.

They were great to work with for our wedding. They were able to meet with us at a moment’s notice and provided all details up front. Easy to communicate with via text or email anytime we had a question. When we received our wedding video flash drive, it arrived in a lovely personalized case. In conclusion, they were excellent to work with and would 100% recommend them for your event.
